How has your network changed the way you learn?

The network has changed the way I learn by creating new ways to gather data, implement the tools available in mind mapping, and evaluate what I have learned about connectivism.


Which digital tools best facilitate learning for you?

Computer software programs such as the mind mapping tool on TheBrain.com have been a new way of facilitating learning for me. I have found that I have a lot to learn in the field of technology. I have enjoyed the experiences in the Walden University community which enabled me to discover the technologies in blogging, Illuminate, and Skype.


How do you learn new knowledge when you have questions?

I learn new knowledge through using past experiences, memory and listening and learning from others.

  1. Diane, your mind map opens up just fine, and in true connectivist fashion, you just introduced me to a new tool I may want to use. I like the look and feel of the Spinscape mind map. I've been trying different ones (Webspiration, Mindmeister, Bubbl) to figure out which one I like best, but I had never heard of Spinscape before. I like the way you organized your network and how each node has a place for tags and notes.
