Fitting The Pieces Together

I have to admit that only for a few years since I become engaged in various social media to obtain new ideas on developing my skills as an adjunct instructor and as a Career Coach. I utilize both conventional and unconventional methods of learning. I am learning a great deal through observing other people who may be in similar situations that I am facing as well as I like to hear how others handle particular situations. I admit that I am a information technology driven to search for information at the tip of my fingers for convenience.

I am favorable to learn by way of social constructivist learning. I learn from from observing other people and finding ways to connect either through face to face or social media. I have always self taught my personal style of learning to be an effective leader through observing and talking to others. I sometimes prefer reading books and then there are times I prefer to research information on the Internet.  I often prefer the web searching due to convenience and the ability to obtain information that is more up to date then ordering books; however, the more I am able to network through various social media outlets such as Linked In and Twitter, the more I become excited learning or obtaining new information of my interests.

I am truly appreciative of all the vast technology social media outlets that allow creative means to connecting with individuals throughout the country to network and share ideas. The challenge I see with social media is not knowing the credibility of individuals and realizing that the social media venues do attract individuals who may not be as credible among his or her peers.
