The results I obtained through module 1.4 told me that I was okay at some parts of being able to connect online as the results from quizzes 2 and 3 displayed. However quiz 1 displays that I am apparently reluctant to start using new tools in order to connect, whereas quizzes 4,5, and 6 tell me that even though I am a beginner, I have shown that I have the confidence or I feel confident when contributing to online spaces and working in virtual teams.

I believe that being able to connect online is extremely important in general but especially important for online university students. Being able to connect online can be the difference between passing a course or failing said course. it is important to know how to connect to your peers or subject coordinators as if you need assistance on an assignment and you are unable to as for it then you are in a bit of a tough situation that nobody enjoys being in. Having used Twitter for the last 3 or 4 years, it has helped me massively with connecting with others online as I can now follow my favourite topics whether that being my favourite sports teams or my favourite TV  show, I can communicate with people with the same interests as me because of Twitter and we can communicate back and forth through Twitter talking about our favourite sports team which is what I do in the example I am providing. By having these new skills I have now got the confidence to reach out online when necessary to get assistance with an assessment or maybe even just to help out a peer with a few things. Online I am part of a handful of communities such as, on Twitter I am part of the NBA community as I religiously follow the Oklahoma City Thunder I can talk to other fans of this team in a community. I am also in a community on my Ps4 as I play online sports games with my friends and we as a group play together with other people online we’ve never met which is part of a greater community. Interaction occasionally occur, they may not always be pleasant but other times we can make friends by doing this.

When setting up my LinkedIn profile I had a few moments when I wasn’t sure what to do but with a bit of help from people I had connected with I was able to have my profile up and running in no time and I even managed to get my profile to an Intermediate level. In the future I intend to continue to use my online profiles in the same manner I have done the whole time I’ve had them, by being respectful and making sure I am making myself a good digital footprint. This will support me as a digital learner as I know when to ask questions, I am fully capable of reaching out when necessary in order to assist myself.

Exploration of Web 2.0

After searching the web for examples of “Web 2.0” it has come to my attention that it’s what I’ve been using all along without even noticing it. Apps I use everyday like Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook are all examples of what Web 2.0 is. In terms of educational web 2.0 tools, I have recently been using Photo Creator. This is an app/ tool you can use to edit photos. I may have not used my time on photo creator for educational purposes but to rather make my mate look stupid but nevertheless that still doesn’t take away from the fact that this tool is very useful for educational purposes.

About Me

Hi, my name is Dylan Owen, I am 18 years old and I currently live in Cairns having recently relocated from Melbourne. My hobbies are playing sports such as Basketball, Football (soccer) and Futsal. I also frequently play my PS4 with my friends. I spend my days as follows. I wake up and get ready, I complete my learning modules for uni, then once I’ve done that I spend my spare time socialising with my mates whether that’s face to face or spending time playing games together online while we talk over a microphone. After I complete my Diploma of General Studies I hope to enrol in either a Bachelor of Arts of a Bachelor of Education as I have a passion for learning about the past and what we can do differently so some of those awful things don’t happen again. I also have a passion for teaching and education others, I notices this when I play sports and I naturally take a lead role in helping my teammates become better players whether its with constructive criticism or if i’m physically helping them on the playing field.
