Learning+Network

=** Learning Network  **=

**Overview **
As I organized my learning network, I evaluated the main sources of education, reeducation, and influence. These aspects of collaboration and mentoring divide into four primary areas: formal education, professional development (both through my employer and freelance work), personal development, and social network. Of the four areas, my social network has transitioned into a primary education method as my experience and immersion in social media has grown. These networking opportunities have given me a variety of resources and personal connections to further my career and answer questions as they come up in everyday life. Of course, my formal education is a large part of my educational exposure at this stage in my career, and it pays dividends on an almost daily basis in my primary employment. In fact, the technological acquisition skills afforded in this program help to drive my ongoing growth in the field of visual communication and branding. I look forward to seeing how future technological advances continue to shape my educational experiences.
