Welcome to my blog! I just became a Learning Coordinator at a local pharmaceutical firm. Because I want to better understand how people learn at work, I'm also taking courses towards an MA in Education Technologies! The old workplace education models of experts imparting all of the necessary trade information into the novices so they could perform their job tasks well is no longer possible. Did you know that the amount of information available to employees is growing at an exponential rate? Consider this:
As you can see, there is no way any one person can know all there is to know on anything anymore. Our knowledge is growing so fast, we don't even know what we need to know!
I'm starting this blog so that I can share my ideas as I gain experiences and interact at my new company and as I build knowledge at school. I'm hoping you'll share your learning experiences and ideas too so that together we can collaborate and build understanding and improve workplace learning centers for everyone. Thanks for contributing!
I love this video. I teach technology at my middle school. I will have to download this onto my computer and show it to my students when I have extra time during state testing.
