The Benefit of Networking Class 5302

There are so many benefits when it comes to networking….Upon entering the digital learning graduate program, I said to myself….self how are we going to make it through this program with such a hectic schedule?

Fortunately I'm truly grateful to be able to form PNLs with other colleagues in my current field which has been a major help. Since becoming a substitute teacher not really knowing what I was getting myself into I began to form relationships with full time teachers in order to be able to deliver the materials to the students. Being able to connect with these professional educators through groups on Facebook, LinkedIn and currently being in Class 5305 Disruptive Innovation has been a great help in making my decision to move forward with the educational field.

Thinking back, I have had an amazing experience connecting with members of these current learning communities. You learn so much more when you listen….sometimes well most of the time when you hear someone else you can they can help you push your ideas forward. At first I was so nervous when choosing to go back to school then I really shocked myself when I decided to take 4 classes online at that. Forming groups within my classes with other colleagues have been a true blessing. My group is amazing and have been truly helpful with getting me all caught up when i miss class due to work overload and always asking what can we do to help. I Am truly grateful……
