The mind map that I created
reflects my learning related to technology tools which I currently use to
support my professional and educational responsibilities. In fact, this network
has impacted the way I approach my work by being more creative and innovative
by providing me additional resources and graphics. As demonstrated by the blogs that I was able
to subscribe to and has also allowed me to
reach reliable resources and information and not just limit me to the
Walden Resources. I have been afforded
the opportunity to expand the network of professionals who share similar
interest in my field of study which increases my ability to share and learn
best practices.
Blogs and other learning resources
that are provided through the learning portal has yielded the greatest return
for me. I think this is largely because
the information is presented in a very organized fashion which is aligned with the
syllabus and course schedule. I can
actually find the information seamlessly which prepares me to organize my
thoughts around key information and I am expected to learn for the specific
week. In addition, my I have several options for support whether it be ask the
instruction or the student café and of
course I can use the blogs which is a major aspect of this particular
course. For example, I was struggling
with understanding the blog assignment and it was because of some information
that one of my peers shared that I was able to eventually figure it out.
One of the principal aspects of
connectivism is the thought that for significant learning to occur a
relationship must exist. In my case, my
network is full of resources that support my development it creates a space
that motivates me to use the tools and resources that are made available to me.
In fact, completing the assignments on related to learning theories I can
immediately apply what I am learning in the course to my approach as a student
and reflect on what I would do differently as an instructional designer.
