Scrapbook challange #6: My digital, online learning skills

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 will have chosen suitable tools and through engagement I will have to create contents for sharing. I have also used all the tools integrated on the challanges and I am quite confident that I can use even others.

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.

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
