The current network that I use changes the way I learn in a variety of ways. The learning networks are used in order to seek ways in order to collaborate with other individuals. By collaborating with each other, students are able to make connections to the learning. Connections helps create structures (Siemens, 2006). This is very helpful in networking and seeing/understanding what other people are currently doing in their classrooms. It is also a great way to exchange ideas from individuals who may be near or far away. The online resources are used in order to take the place of the traditional books. The Internet sites are used for various types of research along with the online libraries. Screen casts are also used in order to seek how to complete certain tasks on the computer. The use of social networks is also used in order to use these types of media for the purpose of socializing and communication on various topics. These various networks align with modeling assignments, visualizing these tools as well.
The digital tools that best facilitate learning for me are the use of wiki, blogs, chat rooms, online libraries. New knowledge can be learned by using the various forms of communication within the mind map. New knowledge can also be obtained through trial and error of working with tools or objectives until mastery has been established.

I like the way you organized your mind map. It clearly illustrates your different networks. I found it interesting that you mentioned online libraries. I find them to sometimes be difficult to navigate and do searches. Are there particular ones you like to use?
ReplyDeleteNavigation can be challenging at times. It seems that you have to play around alot with the program in order to finally find what you are looking for. There are not any particular ones that I prefer over another. I do use the one with the school, and there are also lots of online libraries that can be googled.
