- How has your network changed the way you learn?
I sometimes wonder how I ever made it without the many different networks I have today. I use to read a book to learn everything I wanted to know. I remember when I was 15 years old; I lived in Norfolk, VA. I did not do anything by stay at home. I wanted to know what was going on in the world, or I wanted to know just about anything, so my husband had purchased a set of encyclopedias, and I would read them all the time. Oh how life has changed. I now have my network. I love the internet. I did not know much about the internet when I first signed up for it, which was in 1995, by I learned very fast. I had finally found a way to learn about anything I wanted to learn about. If I was watching a show on television about Lady Jane, I could run to the computer and type her name on the computer and pull up information about her. One thing I have to say the internet has changed a lot since I first started using it. There are so many different ways to find out the information you want to know. Instead of just having the web to use for research, you can also research journals, newspapers, and magazines just by one little simple device.
Which digital tools best facilitate learning for you?
The digital tools that facilitate learning for me the most are; computers, internet, and iPad, with these devices, I can use the web to research any type of information I want. I do not use an iPhone, but one day I hope to get one, so I can use it for much more needed information. In addition, I also feel wikis, blogs, adobe, and Microsoft Office facilitate learning for myself as well as my students.
- How do you learn new knowledge when you have questions?
If I have questions in which I want the answer to, I go stay to the internet. I know if I cannot find it on the internet, then I cannot find it anywhere. The search engine I use most of the time is Google. I started using this search engine a few years ago, because it had everything I was looking for in a search engine.
Lou,
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain! I finished three years of advanced physics , calculus, and quantitative chemistry using a slide rule. But what we have today will probably (hopefully) pale in comparison to what is developed within the next 50 years. :)

Lou,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you there are so many resources available to us and with devices being so portable we can really access information from anywhere. We are always connected to our networks in some way.
I love your map. Which Open Source did you use? I also don't have an IPhone, but I do have an Android system on my phone. It offers the same capabilities of the IPhone. I have had it for almost a year now and I am just now becoming comfortable with using it. They are great for research at any time.
