Impressive Starting Points

I have had the privilege of working with SFU's Field Program - Learning and Teaching Through Technology for today - March 7, 2009. One of the activities that they have been working on is sharing "Who am I as a learner?"

What a great question.  I remember a similar activity several years back that I was involved in.  I will have to go and find what I wrote for that.  I highlight wrote since my work was written.  Since Graduating from TLITE in 2002, I have thought a lot about reflection, my practice, but I haven't had to make it salient.  

The rich thinking that went into the presentations was inspiring.  I will likely redo my thoughts of who I am as a learner.  (A key part of that is that I can see something and I will want to accomplish the same thing. )

It was impressive to see the learners reflected through their presentations.  From Blogs, to Movies, to warped photos, to PPT, to Keynote....  I can't believe the strength of technology use to produce amazing presentations, but more importantly that none of it was gratuitous glitz.  The technology tools chosen enhanced each of their presentations.  While I am tech savvy, I will have to strive to match the depth of reflection about themselves as learners.
