“Everyone Communicates Few Connect” John C. Maxwell (Maxwell,
2010)
How has your network changed the way you learn? Network has allowed me move beyond my
learning disability because technology makes it possible for everyone to
learn. As computer instructor, I am able
to help my students learn any software applications. You must keep in mind that everyone learns
differently and through knowledge you form a web that builds your prior
knowledge. Then, you are able to move
from high school to graduate school.
Without the function of this network, many chapters in my life would not
have been written. Siemens stated
"knowledge removes shackles and provides this great power within" (Siemens,
2006) . Knowledge form a web to increase power and to
maximum the outcome.
Which digital tools best facilitate learning for you? My iPhone is the tool that keeps me on alert.
Long lines at Wal-Mart use to be boring but now it's an opportunity for me to
learn and read my blogs or email.
Recently, I retired my leather bond Bible to exchange for my online
Bible. I can collaborate and share my
knowledge with others. Knowledge
is" ongoing" stated Siemens (Siemens, 2006) . It's like two irons sharpen each other.
How do you learn new knowledge when you have question? Google, webinars and the MindMeister, these
tools allows me to organize my information.
Web 2.0 allows me work independently anywhere and the answer to my
prayer or to question arrives on time. This is what I call my Aha moments. I use my iPad to handle the problem
effectively by writing down my answer immediately to any questions. MindMeister is my favorite because it has
provided me with a one on one meeting with me.
I believe it has to be a desire to learn or to move forward. By building a mind query, it creates this
connection to find tune my mind to new information because "connecting is
a vital desire to achieve success" (Maxwell, 2010) .

Hi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog. I also like your mind map. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who feels that has allowed me to overcome disabilities. Working with a computer and surfing the web has brought new life to learning and comprehension. Where once it took hours to find information needed, now can only take minutes.
The application of MindMeister sounds interesting. Is it like mind mapping? I would like to learn more about it.
