I have been thinking of creating a website, I visited Wix.com after seeing an add on YouTube and google site on google drive when I was doing "learning on cloud session " and the experience was interesting. I did not know about Weebly also  a free website creating site  until I learned it on "digital toolbox" and it draw my attention. The visit to all these three was to create a free website for an organization and a project I am thinking of "to create an online center for graduate youth to interact and leverage on social capital to increase their employability. I managed a website from wix.com for Women movement and efforts organization and I had started working for a hub website on google sites and currently Weebly where I am progressing well. If your thinking of having a website and you do not have money I recommend these free website creating sites. Though you will need to upgrade them for the case of Wix and Weebly to be adds' free but they sav...

I was thinking of removing communication skills on my CV, Thanks to this course I am pursuing  Get ready, get set, become a digital online learner .  All these years I thought I have been lying about my skills by including communication as one of them until I realized that I really have it. Communication has changed a bit nowadays as a result of digital disruption that has made the connection very easy and adds an asynchronous aspect, that you do not need to be together or be at the same time zone to communicate.  When I started working my communication experience was quite different from what I expected, I was added to WhatsApp groups, given an email account, phone numbers of my colleagues and told to express anything and that it could be of value to the organization. I thought communication was brought to its simplest level, but it was not the case. I did not know much about an organization and most of the work that we were doing, I was very junior to my co...

I have set a time for taking my course everyday at my sitting room, I get one hour everyday when I wake up to go through at least one session and other interactions like other peoples posts, announcements and correcting previous errors to my issues. I am doing this all alone and I have chosen  the t...

There is nothing like very cool environment or a specific place and you can get even a degree, the very best one. Only that the course should be well structured. When I wake up every morning I take an enterpreneurship lesson on an app and there after I switch to my get ready, get set, be online learner course, but today was different, music was playing at the next window to mine and I could not concentrate with the enterpreneurship lesson, I decided to switch to online learning without doing my enterpreneurship module. I had a scrapbook challenge waiting for me, I though let me try that and see and it just worked well, I managed to continue despite all the disturbance and then I noticed something. learning online should be different from the traditional learning. it should be practical and integrated, some reading, a video and doi...
