Module 2A: Activity 10 - Social Media as a Professional Development resource

This module has highlighted to me the need for individuals to learn by doing and not so much learn by instruction. I have learnt to recognize also the importance and impacting influence that engaging in a trusted network can have. It strengthens one's own resolve as a professional and it enhances productivity, since we would all learn from each other. If this happens, then the actual formal training sessions (that are normally called professional development) would be more of feedback or resource evaluation sessions. Social media would then evolve education into a more learner-centred and lifelong learning tool than ever before. This would significantly filter into the way we teach, or employ our craft as teachers.

I am loving this!
