My answer:

As a doctoral learner, I believe that it is my responsibility to understand as much as I can about research methods and teaching.  I understand Information Technology pretty well since I have been in the industry for several years.  However, simply because I know how to do certain things with technology does not always mean that it is easy to teach others.  Therefore, this is a personal goal of mine to accomplish.
I also believe that it is very important to help my community to learn and understand technology.  The doctorate and my award winning personality will hopefully help me with this responsibility towards helping others.  I especially want to add that I believe that technology is very important now and will continue to be in the future.  New technology is constantly appearing and for many people, it is difficult enough as it is to keep up with the news.
