Module 7: Influence on my life

This course on informatics and technology has been an eye-opener. I have enjoyed learning about technologies that I use every day, such as the internet, powerpoint, and Web CT. I feel that I now know more about the field of nursing informatics and what that scope of practice entails. It was also interesting to me to learn about different types of intelligence and how people can use technologies to learn in their optimal way. Also, I thought that the lesson on heuristics showed how people make mental shortcuts, and I became more aware of this in my personal practice. I am currently trying to combat against this. Overall, there have been several gems that I have gleaned from this course, and they have taught me to look around at the different technologies that I could be using.
