ITEC 444: Formal/Traditional Learning - Blog Post #6

Has there been a teacher in your life who has made a difference to you? Describe the teacher and the circumstance. What was the impact of this teacher? What was the result of the impact? From your experience with this teacher, what would you like to bring to your workshop participants?



-The teacher that has made a difference to me was extremely passionate about instructing our class. This instructor showed up to class even when injured, with a leg brace on, to teach. The impact this professor had was immense. He always patiently conveyed computer concepts, individually, to his students to ensure they comprehended what was being taught. The result of the impact he had was that I can now place what he has taught me on my resume’ and best of all, I can teach what I’ve learned from him to others. I would like to bring knowledge and understanding of technological devices to my workshop participants. According to the book, “Learning at Work: How to Support Individual and Organizational Learning”, using different tactics towards different groups of learners is vital to being able to actually teach those groups. I feel my instructor was great with this and I hope I’ll be the same within my workshop. According to http://www.e4africa.co.za/?p=915, of the many learning styles that are known, different people desire different styles and it may take a “blended approach” to suffice their needs.
