It is my belief that I am in between the static and dynamic continuum. I engage in both aspects of the continuum, but I have not yet encompassed the creative totality of being dependently dynamic. In order for me to move toward the dynamic continuum, I must move away from being in a directive state and more open to building my knowledge based on evaluative and analytical methods. This way of thinking will allow me to formulate my own ideas based on collaborative discussions and interactions in a variety of technological forms. When effectively engaging in distance education, a dynamic continuum is necessary. The DE organization is one that requires a high standard of expectations for learning. These learning requirements involve collaboration, individual thinking, ability to connect theory to practice, and understanding the role of technology in education. When categorizing yourself in the dynamic continuum, one must be able to state that each element; content, communication, and collaboration has been mastered and consistently and effectively is practiced. As of the present, I cannot place myself in that category, however by continuously engaging myself in a practice that is open-ended, I will be moving closer to the dynamic continuum.

Nice concept map. I agree with yoyrchoices. I also find I am both.
ReplyDeletejshives11,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my concept map. What practices do you engage in reference to both sides of the continuum? When reflecting on these practices, do you see any similarities among the communication styles?
Temeka:
ReplyDeletePatrick LaPollo's response.
Great self-reflection. I find myself in the same place. I completely understand the value of both and I have been making an earnest effect to also be more dynamic. I think its more my nature to be dynamic, I say this because it feels satisfying and more natural. Thanks for sharing! Do you think it requires more effort to be dynamic?
Hi, Temeka!
ReplyDeleteWhat technology tools would most effectively faciliate your " knowledge building based on evaluative and analytical methods"?
Patrick,
ReplyDeleteI am neutral to the idea that an individual that uses dynamic practices put forth more effort. This philosophy has been formulated based on ever-changing technology. Today's generation has been engaging in the use of the classifications under the dynamic continuum for years, as opposed to individuals who have not had access nor the instruction on how to use the devices. It is also contingent on the individuals ability to adapt to the use of the technology and/or their willingness.
Bianca,
ReplyDeleteI think that two technology tools will be significantly beneficial in allowing me to enhance my thinking in reference to evaluative and analytical methods. These two technology tools are Skype and virtual experiences. These two tools provide both visual, as well as vocal communication. The presence of both aspects combined allow me to think based on a variety of aspects and not just written or communicated without the ability to debate ideas or establish clarity.
I'M TOTALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
ReplyDeleteHerpes is a serious and recurrent condition that cannot be cured by drugs or injections by DR JAMES , but the best way to fight against herpes is to take natural herbal remedies, I red about DR JAMES, the great herbalist who cures people of HIV virus with his powerful herbal medicine. I contacted him to find out how he could help me and he told me never to be afraid that he would help me with the natural herbs medicine! After 2 days of contacting him he told me the medicine is ready and he sent it to me via DHL COURIER SERVICE and it got me in 3 days! I used the medication as he prescribed for me (MORNING and EVENING) and was cured! It's really like a dream, but I'm so happy! For people suffering from the following diseases,Shingles,MS,Bullous Pemphigoid,Diabetes, cancer,Pcos, hypothyroidism, Herpes, COPD, HIV, arthritis, Hpv, infections, liver disease, autoimmune diseases, Parkinson's disease, Lupus and more should contact him for his herbal medicine, because I am a living witness and I was cured of herpes virus. and DR James medicine is legitimate.
