• How has your network changed the way you learn?
I like getting information from others and sharing with others. I always have tried to get answers for myself than asking others. I find now after doing this assignment that I have many networks that I learn from and didn’t realize I did. I have found out just how important it is to work together. Also, as I have aged I realize more than ever before how important all these networks are. I must say that I get more information from the internet and people from all over the states and the world to learn new things to adapt to the rapidly changing world we are in technologically.
• Which digital tools best facilitate learning for you?
The Walden University online courses have been an excellent learning opportunity for me. Being able to do things on my schedule and being able to deeply think about the assignments has been an enormous asset for me. Recently I have found wiki’s and blog’s to be very helpful in learning and sharing.
• How do you learn new knowledge when you have questions?
When I have questions I look it up on the computer or go to someone that I feel may know the answer. The internet is my main choice to answer questions I am not sure of. I need a lot of memory on my computer because I multi task a lot and have many windows open at the same time. I have never thought about how I learn new things until this class. I know that this will aid me in becoming a better teacher and challenging my students and prepare them for their future. I have learned that when I learn new things I combine it with my prior knowledge creating new knowledge.
Lynne,
ReplyDeleteBeing enrolled in Walden University has also exposed me to networks and learning. What network do you feel you use most in your day to day life?
Jeanine,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the post. Right now I must say that I use the internet and my Walden University professors and classmates as my main newtwork to learning. Have a super week:)
You have technology as a separate entity, but do you think that the use of technology can merge into some of your other networks? I will use church for example. When I am being really lazy on a Sunday morning, I will watch our service live via the Internet. Overall, there are a lot of people that say they are not good with technology, but in reality technology consumes our daily lives. Creating these mind maps is a great way to show that connection.
