Thing 23 - We've made it!

I have really enjoyed this program especially in the later half of it as I was able to time manage much better and get everything I needed to get done in my normal day to day duties as well as my "thing" for the week.

The things I enjoyed most of all were

• thing 14 which was collaboration tools 
• thing 16 youtube 
• thing 17 Create content and content curation. 
• I also really enjoyed looking at google glass & Augmented reality (AR).

23 things has encouraged me to explore the way I learn, to time manage better and it and has broadened my knowledge of online learning in a postivie way.

One thing I would do differently is take the time to connect with others doing the program that were not located on my campus, I only discussed things with my colleague here at Strahtfield and while that was very helpful I missed an opportunity to network!


Thanks to Kate for your motivation and your time to answer any questions I asked

Thing 22 - Networking

This week we looked at Personal Learning Network.

I looked at LinkedIn and saw staff I knew from the library on it, I liked the ACU profile. LinkedIn has less information than other social networking sites which is a plus for me. I can see it would be a great tool to build an online professional profile that features your experience and skills.

I also like the job searching aspect of it and the opportunity to connect with others in a professional setting.

My  PLN is not something I have given a lot of thought to up to this point, which is something that I would like to change, I have always been a stay in the background type of person but I think in this competitive society we are currently in I will need to put myself out there more and starting with something like LinkedIn is a good idea.
