Give Yourself a Chance!

Here's a short article I ran across in a past issue of Fast Company titled Give Yourself A Chance. It made some excellent points and I thought it was worth passing on...

As I read it it had me thinking about why we become afraid or hesitant to "bricolage" with anything new: technology, learning, or teaching styles. Perhaps it has something to do with comfort zones.....

I also thought this was a good example of leadership on the part of the professor and how he was was able to help the author step back and recognize the self-limiting comments and assumptions he was making about himself.

Anyhow, when working with new technologies be sure to remember two things:

• don't forget to breathe!
• give yourself a chance!
