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 can connect, communicate and behave online, the challanges comes with collaboration, creation and choices of the best learning tools and these are the areas I would like to improve. As can be seen they are related, but I have found that I am not familiar with most of the tools mentioned and not In professional communities except from google+ which is no longer functioning and medium where I only read articles. I had no confidence sharing opinions and ideas on platforms, thanks to the course that I beginning to be confident. Beginning with collaboration, I have tried to interact with colleagues on the course, commenting and asking and I have found out some who we are almost on the same level and I am going to initiate more interaction and integrate other tools like skype and tweeter, I will try to join professional communities on different platforms and collaborate in discussions and issues. By doing so I will add more tools on my PLE meaning that depending on interests

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 am doing this all alone and I have chosen  the time

It does not matter whether music is playing at the neighbor's house or a family member is interfering, when your learning online you will just learn. 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
