The culture that we
have in this class is a unique one. We all seem to really get alone and can
easily work together. This is why I believe that language, humor, and play,
physical settings, rituals, values are the cultural identifications that our
class has. These five cultural
identification gives us our CSS or style for the class. Each of these
identifications helps this itec 3610 become the IT Citrines.
The language, humor, and play I feel work together. I
believe that I picked these identities because we love to laugh, joke, and play
it makes the time go by faster. The laughs that we share together makes for a
comfortable learning environment. It also shows that we genuinely enjoy each
other’s company. The language is apart
of humor and play. We use language when we tell the jokes or just say things
that cause others to laugh. Our language is how we communicate. The citrines
love to talk, well some of us do.
The class’s physical setting for the citrines is the seating
arrangement that we use. We all tend to sit in the same seats in every one of
Thomas and Bruce’s classes. But we usually change things around in Johnston’s
class for some reason. We also love to bring own snacks to class to set the
mood so we can stay alert during all the lectures. The fact that all have the
computers that we’re working on is another part of the setting we have in the
classroom.
The ritual that we have in class is similar to our physical
setting like snacks, seats, and computers. Other rituals that we have are the
lessons that each teacher talks about. Each teacher lesson builds on a skill
that we need to succeed in the class. Thomas gives us computer skills, Johnston
gives us the personal techniques that are required to develop personal repro
with clients. Bruce’s skills benefit the office part of business skills in
excel and what to keep things to track from clients or customers that consume
our goods or services. Attending class is a form of rituals.
We value the teachers and these skills that they are giving
us. These skills will help us not only in our work lives but in our everyday
life. The lesson that Thomas gave us about how to power search was a great
lesson to have. It gave us a great skill to help us better research articles on
the internet. This skill helps us everywhere and every class. Bruce has given
us an insight into Google Sheets that I did know existed. These skills have
personally helped me recently export a spreadsheet of the children I work with.
Johnston has helped me polish the skills that I have and is helping me work on
the ones that I’m not comfortable using.
The class we have is a really great makeup of many
individuals that we can learn from and help us grow as well as rounded employee
or boss entering the work field. The class really does have all the culture
identifiers but these I think are a few of the most important ones that the
citrines have.
