Second Night

I have just been listening to an audio cd about the Great Books. The latest lecture was about the book of Job, so I am thinking in Biblical terms about this project. After two classes with a deluge of new ideas, concepts and tools, I feel distinctly underwater and in need of an ark! Having been hired by the district as a tech trainer I feel that I need to fill the role of Noah and rescue other drowning souls. Maybe I am more of an Evan Almighty and will turnout to be a box office disaster!!
I know a lot, I learn quickly, but I'm not a kid anymore and I have the baggage of many years of thinking in certain ways. Experience is not valued as much as it used to be. Flexibility and agile thinking are more vital in an exponential world. I know that I do sieve new learning through old filters. However, if I am thoughtful about the process, I can present information more clearly to others that also have "filters of experience".
There is a mixture of emotions that people deal with when they are presented with new learning, technological or otherwise. There is excitement! There is fear and uncertainty? There is opportunity for both success and failure. There is a sense of responsibility to make the most of your new learnings. I did figure out how to post a picture!
