Create Your Own Adventure

Instead of reading one pattern at a time, I decided to read it as a choose your own adventure. Anyone as obsessed with those as I was? I don’t recall enjoying reading that often, but I do remember picking that kind of book 8 times out of 10 during library visits. I vividly remember seeing the gooey goosebumps with R.L Stine’s name written above it. I think there was something about that perceived autonomy that I always enjoyed about those books. Looking back on It I get strong sense of horrifying nostalgia. I’m surprised I was ever able to sleep at night at that time.

Any ways that was a bit off topic but lets bring it back around to to this blog post, the task at hand. The first section I decided to read was the Construct Your Own Curriculum pattern, HA, bet you didn’t see that coming. In this blog post I am making a conscious effort to forgo whatever sense of formality that I had as I believe it to be more important to show a sense of authenticity within my writing. 

My takeaway from this chapter is that I should take some time to home in on my skills and what I am good at. I have been able to reflect on my own abilities and work with a sense of mindfulness when pursuing a task. I also learned that I know myself best and that I can trust my own abilities to get a job done, by taking in what resources I have and maintaining a perspective of perpetual learning. This led me to consider how this information may affect me career-wise and where such things may lead.

I want to fully understand my tool set that I was given and improve on the areas that I may be lacking in and even keep in mind that I don’t need to do everything myself and think about the things that I can outsource to people or technology that may be more skilled in a certain aspect. As I close in on the finale of my time at Worcester State, there is a strong sense of self-reflection. So far this book has been a helpful aid in thinking about where I am career-wise and provided a sense that it is only the beginning on this journey to mastery, and that I still have a long ways to go. Yet, I must remember that I can trust in my abilities only once I am able to have a realistic understanding of where I am at. A couple chapters have allowed me to go about my experiences with CS in a way that will lead me to where I want to go. That, I will go into further in the next coming blog post.

Record What You Learn

Hello and welcome back to another week of my blog. This week, I looked through chapter 5 of the book Apprenticeship Patterns by Dave Hoover named Perpetual Learning. One particular apprenticeship pattern I found interesting was “Record What You Learn.” This pattern is about taking notes and keeping track of what you learn in your journey as an apprentice or a learner. The idea is that if you write things down, you can look back on them later and remember what you’ve learned. Plus, by sharing your notes with others, you can improve your communication skills and help others learn too. There can be several ways to record what you have learned throughout your journey, such as constantly updating a journal, personal wiki, or writing a blog, such as me writing these blog posts when I learn about the different apprenticeship patterns. Those listed have only writing involved. Other ways you could record down what you have learned include making a drawing or even making video recordings of yourself. No matter what way you choose to record what you have learned, it is important to keep a date on them. This way, your recorded notes will be organized and sorted in chronological order.

I should start following this apprenticeship pattern especially since I tend to forget things that I have learned such as a stack versus a queue in Java. Sure, I could just look up what the differences are online, but actually writing it down in my own style would help me remember it more easily. In addition, if I forget anything in the future, I could always just refer back to my old notes. When I start incorporating this apprenticeship pattern into my journey, the main way I would like to take notes would be to find something digital and write stuff down in it. I prefer writing stuff down with a stylus, like using an Apple Pencil on an iPad, since I tend to remember things more when writing notes down rather than typing them out. I hope to start using “Record What You Learn” because it will be highly beneficial to my computer science career.
