When do we describe a person or action as skilled? I am still a novice at setting up a blog. Today, is better than yesterday – I can see the screen at the top of the classroom and I can hear the speakers. As a learner, I am experiencing the stress of “effort after meaning” or “the need to know a lot more than I already know”. This is a feeling that accompanies all learning, especially when you’re out of your depth. It can be a damned uncomfortable feeling but my knowledge of blogging is developing.
Knowing what to do though is not necessarily the equivalent of knowing how to do it; after all, I could just organise the instructions as one sets out a recipe to make a cake. I could follow the instructions to perfection and have a perfectly functioning blog as evidence.
But I would not consider myself skilled. And it would look terrible! So right now, after a quick visual inspection, I can see there is more work to do – bear with me.
How can we define what it means to be skilled in this context?
