I believe I am in the middle of the “static-dynamic continuum.” I still use a lot of text and web sites for content from the static end of the continuum; however I do use discussion boards, chat, and technological media such as PowerPoint to further develop learned concepts. With continued use of my newly learned media, such as blogs and wikis, I will move forward on my journey toward the dynamic end of the continuum. There are so many technologies that can be used in distance learning it will be a slow process. Fear of learning new technologies once I have become familiar with other technologies plays a major factor in how I adopt new technologies on the technology continuum. I also believe that I will always to continue to use both ends of the continuum, static and dynamic. I will continue to use the entire spectrum the static end for information and the dynamic end to develop a “deeper cognitive level.” (Moller, 2008, pg.1)
