Collaboration, reflection

Networking has changed my way of learning by offering an generous amount of resources that were once impossible to obtain. Networking provides collaboration that enables one to reflect upon facts and opinions which allow the comparison and contrast more quickly. According to Siemens (2006) networking via technology enables one to open the doors to conversations, Siemens continues, “Every nuance, every characteristic, can be dissected and represented in multiple ways and perspectives,” (p. 77).
Digital devices are plentiful. The digital device that best facilitates my research is known to be the Elluminate/Blackboard collaboration tool. Elluminate/Blackboard has the ability for one to use their an variety of their various intelligences to listen, question, and express thoughts effectively and collaboratively with professors and classmates. The innovation allows interpersonal as well as intrapersonal opportunities in which to understand others’ intentions while adapting and adjusting to one’s own fears and motivation.
When seeking new knowledge YouTube, TeacherTube, or Teacher Domain is typically referred to for visual presentations as well as interactive suggestion that address my concerns.

  1. Cheryl,

    Great post! Do you use Elluminate/Blackboard primarily for work or for school? In what way (s) do you use them for work?

  2. Michelle,
    I have only had the opportunity to use Elluminate/Blackboard during my Quantitative Research class. In my evaluation, I suggested that all professors use this resource. The professor did not make it a requirement, only an opportunity for students in which the innovation enhanced their learning gain.
