Connectivism and Personal Learning Network Reflection


Learning independently has not always been my strong point. But as the years have gone by it has become an essential element in my daily living. I always had the knack of reading directions or instruction or always wanted to look something up for better understanding. Today’s networks have made it easy for to find the information I need. Information today is right at my fingertip. There are no time boundaries on learning. Information is assessable 24/7.

Online course has afforded me an awesome opportunity for learning. I value the flexibility and independence to learning at my own pace. Participating in course online gives me the ability to work full-time and be a wife and mom. I am allow to have a life and at the same time earn my degree and certification. Lynda and other video tutorials are also a help.

My knowledge based information is gained in a variety of ways. Depending on the information I am trying to gain. In the past I have used podcast, video tutorial, blogs, classmates and colleagues to help gain knowledge. Sometimes it may have to be by trial and error or experience.

I think I am gaining great skills and knowledge from my personal learning network (PLN). I have benefited from my PLN tremendous ways. Up until this point I would not have known to call the resources I learn from a PLN. I was not familiar with the learning theory connectivism. If anything I have expand my knowledge of PLN.
