One foot in front of the other!

And so it begins.......As an adult learner technology has been both intimidating and exciting. My only saving grace is a  love for all things new and a petulance for "pushing buttons." I love to click on every tab available. I recently read a research article that shed some new light on where I am in this world called technology and why I seem to always be lagging behind the younger generation. The article discussed the difference between the digital native (those from the generation where technology has always been) and a digital immigrant (those who did  not grow up with technology being a normal part of life). The article likened it to language. Those who grow up speaking a certain language speak it fluently and clearly (the digital native) and those who learn it as a second language (digital immigrants) will always have an accent.  What I have found during this journey is group new found friends and peers, my classmates. The creativeness of their work has been inspiring, and their encouragement has given my the confidence to keep walking. So as I move forward in mastering technology and working on my accent I will welcome the new challenges, the new spaces in which to learn, and the new tools to use. Hopefully, soon, I will be walking out the door.
