I also strive to be an industrious, creative worker, someone who is adaptable in any environment, yet seeks to make positive changes, willing to take a risk, be an idealist and a visionary, yet have a practical side as well. My own view of education is that learning should be a habit, goal and desire. Education cannot force learning on anyone. The experiences in life give us the most applicable learning for our use. In order to gain more than routine daily experience, one must go beyond the norm, and be constantly challenged, by new ideas, concepts and experiences.
Technology has a powerful place in the arena of learning.
It provides a way for someone to learn more, do more and experience more. It allows communication to become easier, making the world itself smaller and more accessible. It allows someone with a little desire and imagination to find and use tools that can help them in accomplishing work goals, learning goals and personal goals. It can help someone to complete a task by providing a way to research, study, compose, generate or edit a project. But technology is not a magic tool, and also has the potential to be a hindrance, when relied upon solely without regard to other methods.
