Step 1 – Technology readiness
Are you ready for the Learning Circles?
In the video below we explain why it is important to check to what extent you are ready to use technology. We ask a few questions that can be answered “YES” or “NO”.
Depending on the number of yes-es or no-s you may figure out how optimistic, prepared or discomforted you feel about doing online activities.

Reflections
Take step back now and ask yourself:
- Why have you provided those answers?
- Is there anything that has to do with your values, your lack of knowledge? Or it has to do with bad experiences from the past?
- Is there anyone you may ask – either in your learning circle or the librarian, or consult in order to clarify your fears or discomforts?
So, how technologically ready are you?
If you are a frequent user of internet, either on your phone, tablet of computer you can rest assured that you have all the skills needed to attend a learning circle. Also, keep in mind that if you experience hardship, you can always ask a fellow member or the librarian. As for the benefits of internet and online education, just give it a try and see how it works, check additional resources and ultimately, why not, borrow a book.
