Learning in the 21st century

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 doing, these made me attracted and at some points I could not even hear the externality from my neighbor.
The enterpreneurship course despite being online it is just reading and doing an assignment, it can even be printed to a book, when you do not feel like reading no learning, the only advantage is I can continue where I left on other time when I am ready, but learning should be fun and exciting, only your efforts, as it is the case with get ready, get set course.

Just at the beginning and I am ready only getting set and at the end I can see myself as an online learner. It is my hope that through this course I will master an online learning, knowing the requirements, moving from one tool to another and being able to take any online course, I will be
confident, relaxed and enjoy the learning and lastly being able to interact with other people from different places and share experience. It is very nice

Communication fear, Cultural or what?

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 colleagues and I

I have followed @julielindsey @kwezilukas @Tanzania youth economic forum @womenmoves on tweeter, facebook and Instagram @world economic forum @kamatafursatz @ecovalleytz @charles stuart uni and @saveelderstanzania, hashtags that I follow are #getreadyDOL #education #enterpreneur what I have found interesting to read was about communication disability, that failure to master some of communication components like fluency and intelligibility makes us disabled. I related this to uncertainty culture where the freedom of expression is highly hindered despite of ones level of civilization or education and fluency. The other interesting thing was about measures of education success and digital technologies to revolutionize the sector whereby as the measures correlates higher level achievement to earnings and integrating social aspects of education equity and social mobility and going further to consider the joy of learning and cognitive pedagogy and leverage on technology to ensure collabor

Learning; Knowing where to find it in your network

Image by  Carwash.com I have gone through a learning experience that almost confused me until I met open learning and come to a conclusion of what learning is to me. I remember my first question on a history session at advanced level, I asked my teacher " you are saying the Buganda Kingdom was the biggest in East Africa but I remember one of the reasons Buganda collaborated with the British colonialist was fear of their enemy camp Bunyoro which was the biggest, so which is which" he replied well and I remember the answer but I had learned about collaboration  at ordinary level, we were not taught about that yet but I saw that relationship with what I already know. When at higher learning I had a tendency of using everything I remember from kindergarten to high school in answering exams, I could answer something that I heard from friends conversation to a story I had from my teachers or in public transport if I see it useful at the moment. I had developed my learning
