This week is the beginning of embarking on learning something new! My Networked Learning Plan (NLP) is learning how to shuffle cards with a "bridge.” As a young girl, I was fascinated by the way my Grandma could quickly shuffle cards with a bridge, but I never took the time to learn. Now, without the help of my grandma I have found success in branching out to different networks by learning from two videos. I have created a NLP Tracker to help organize the different networks that I will research throughout this journey. Bransford et al. (2000), discuss the difference between novices and experts and how experts have the ability to recognize features and patterns as a result of organizing conceptual structures, or schemas, that guide how problems are represented and understood. I am no expert and I’ll be tackling “bridge” as a novice.
I kicked off this journey by exploring two videos. As a novice viewer, How to Riffle Shuffle with Bridge like a Pro for Beginners was an easier video to follow for multiple reasons. For example, the expert was clear and broke it down into steps and allowed the viewers to practice certain moves. This clearly shows how experts are able to recognize features and patterns. However, one challenge of the video occurs at 4:07 because the expert was not very clear in giving directions for applying pressure on the cards. I am struggling to shuffle the cards properly because my hands are small. I am also struggling to set it up and displace the correct amount of pressure to form the bridge. I look forward to continuing researching different networks as I embark on this journey! Check out the “Bad Beginning” below!
