• How has your network changed the way you learn?
My network has been extended because I’m now connected to friends, family, and colleagues more readily than I’ve ever been. I now have resources accessible 24/7 to help me in any learning situation. With access to an infinite number of experts through the Internet, I can now find answers to any question or “how-to” advice for any problem.
• Which digital tools best facilitate learning for you?
The digital tools that best facilitate learning for me are blogs, wikis, podcasts, YouTube, purplemath.com, mathway.com, and the Walden Library.
• How do you learn new knowledge when you have questions?
My first step when I have questions is to immediately go do a search on Google and/or post a question for my friends and colleagues on Facebook. However, I still like to have access to an actual textbook when learning something new. It has helped tremendously to have information readily available when needed, especially while I’m pursuing this degree. Being able to ask the opinions of others helps me to see “the other side” of situations and make better decisions. Research has changed dramatically in the last 5 years to where you can get real-time opinions from such a diverse pool through social networking sites. The Internet makes it possible to find answers quickly and conveniently.
