My Learning Journey
A metaphor for“My Learning Journey” is a never ending
coastline. A coastline is the area where the land meets the sea. A coastline is not a straight line but a zone where interactions of the sea and land processes occur. The land represents traditional learning and the sea represents online learning. These environments are where learners come to acquire knowledge and where they are introduced to the world. The sea will connect the learners to the rest of the world.

Along the coastline there are thousands of different organisms, each of them have their unique characteristics and know how to communicate, interact and contribute to the larger ecosystem. Within an online learning environment, students bring their unique characteristics and learn how to communicate, interact and contribute to society. As I travel along the coastline, I will acquire knowledge about the organisms that I encounter. This knowledge will help me determine what role the organisms have. As I teach within an online learning environment, I will acquire knowledge about the learners I encounter. This knowledge will help determine what direction I will guide them.
A journey is started by a single step. As I take my first step, I will begin searching for the knowledge that will bring me closer to what I need to know. The experiences I will have will be neither positive nor negative, but they will have an impact on me. The people I meet will guide me in the direction I need to travel and the pace I ought to set. There will be many obstacles along the way, but my determination will teach me to find ways to overcome the obstacles. After taking my first step, I know that my journey will never end; it will be a continuous journey….
