I responded to Duane and Kimberly
* How has your network changed the way you learn?
My network has allowed me easy access to information. As a busy mom who works and goes to school full time, and is a part-time real estate agent, I would not be able to function without my network. I can do things form home that were virtually impossible to do a few years ago. Just the fact that I am doing this assignment proves that I am learning in new ways. The online university has afforded me the flexibility I need to pursue a higher degree, which will afford me more professional and financial opportunities at work.
* Which digital tools best facilitate learning for you?
If you look at my mindmap, you will notice that I have definitely become more connected since becoming a student at Walden. As I am introduced to new technologies, I find one more fascinating than the next. The wiki is my new favorite. As you can see, I use it at Walden and in the school where I work.
* How do you learn new knowledge when you have questions?
I do what everyone else does, I Google it! I also learn a lot by trial and error. I have been able to teach myself a lot just by playing around, and using online tutorials. I find that I may spend a great deal of time teaching myself how to do something, but once I get it, it's great! I taught myself how to do an imovie a few years ago because I wanted to make a unique wedding gift for someone. Now, people actually pay me to create movies for them.
