At the beginning of every profile, the importance of ICT proficiency is stressed. Consultations performed by Jisc, polled students at a network event and it was found \u201cthat teachers who are confident with digital tools make a real difference to their learning\u201d. I did not find this surprising at all, as we all want a \u201csubject matter expert\u201d to lead in the classroom when it comes to discussing new technologies. What was interesting is that is wasn\u2019t specific to teaching new technologies, it was being confident and well versed within the classroom while using any technology. We have all struggled with technology, but I did not realize it would leave such an impact on the learner. There is an amazing visualization within the subsection \u201cdigital capabilities researcher profile\u201d which demonstrates the six elements of digital capabilities and because I am a visual person, this helped paint a broader, more comfortable picture.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, putting more effort in to not just learning, but truly understanding the material to enrich my learner experience is my goal from here. Understanding what is meant by the \u201cCommunity of Inquiry\u201d (Garrison, R., Anderson, T., &amp; Archer, W.

I need to adopt a different mindset and adjust to my role as a student and embrace being a learner. Admitting I don\u2019t know something is the first step, falling down that rabbit hole is the next.<\/p>\n<p>References:<\/p>\n<p>Beetham, H.
