A learner is like a ...

In my point of view, a learner is like a tourist.

 

It does not merely show the view in the picture which is taken by the tourist, the more significant issue is the story behind the camera.Meanwhile, the reason why s/he takes picture is that s/he wants to remember the view in front of his/her eys and then goes on with his/her trip to see the view at next stop.As Siemens states in his article Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age, "The pipe is more important than the content within the pipe. Our ability to learn what we need for tomorrow is more important than what we know today." 


Also, like George Siemens mentioned in the video The Changing Nature of Knowledge, that "It's not what we know today is important; it's our ability to continue to stay current as knowledge changes." Every time a tourist starts his/her journey, s/he is accumulating the ability to discover new landscape and experience new adventure.As a teacher to be, our responsibility is not to give the fish to students, but to teach them how to fish. In addition, in this digital world, it's significant to master the ability of discovering people we can learn from, in another word, having the awareness of establishing a network is dramatically crucial.
