Learning has involved overtime for me. I have never been one to learn by reading the book and then the teacher teachers on the subject. In this type of learning I often zone out because it is boring to me. The way I learn now is by observing and watching what is around me. I love to listen and watch the news for what is going on around the world. I am a minister in training and I love studying the Bible and scriptures. One of the sites that I used on my map was biblegateway.com. This site offers many valuable tools which help a believer understand the Bible. One area that I love about this site is the face that it has every translation of the bible. When I study the word, I love reading the different translations to get a good revelation of what the scripture is talking about. My network has changed because I gain insight from people at work, church and conversations with friends. I am always asking for their thoughts because it opens up dialogue and everyone has an opinion.
The internet is my number one digital tool that I use. I search the internet for hours when I am trying to find information on a topic. I teach Sunday school and I research the internet to gain knowledge on a subject from different sources. The different sources allow me to gain perspective from every possible angle.
Knowledge is powerful when it is used correctly. I gain new knowledge by doing my research and asking family and friends about a particular subject. You always can learn something from someone who has experience in an area you are learning something about. For example, if I am trying to learn how to bake a cake; I would ask someone who is knowledgeable in this area.
My personal learning supports connectivism in a major way. The world is more than what we see on our streets and in our neighborhoods. I learn so much from watching television about other countries and the way things are done. I believe diversity is important when it comes to learning. There is more than one way to aspire our children to learn.
