How the COVA will help me in my plan?
The COVA will help me in my plane to choose what I am planning to do and organize it with all freedom. this plan needs to be prepared, and needs also structurally organized. It will be a learning experience.
The COVA will help in my plan because without the technology impact it can't be! COVA +CSLE will help me design environmental learning and teaching to change the learner life. This CSLE will start with the end in mind.
How that going to help ? This COVA will help me have learner choose their voice to structure their work, which means they have the control and ownership over the entire learning process with all their tools and resources to help autodidactic adopt a learner mind set.
The traditional way is not going to improve, because the main thing to use in my plan is technology. The traditional way restrict the technology used by learner, the technology used by teacher and manager.
The WHY it might go to make me face some challenges, some people don't like to have new ideas and don't like to get out of the box; they wanted to stay in their comfort zone. So, with WHY I need to give a reason instead of tell them you should do this.
My valuable part is to make connection between what I already know and what is new.
I like Seth's saying: "if some one needs directions, don't give them a globe. It 'll waste their time, but if some one needs to understand the way things are, don't give them a map they don't need directions, they need to see the big pictures.
