Learning and Leading in a Digital Age emphasizes the significance of creating personal learning networks (PLNs). The author points out that professional development shouldn't rely on formal workshops or mandatory training. Educators need to take charge of their own learning by engaging with others online and within professional communities. Being a connected educator involves actively looking for new ideas, sharing knowledge, reflecting on experiences, and taking part in meaningful discussions that enhance practice. The chapter highlights that the connection goes beyond just using technology. Forming strong professional relationships that lead to ongoing growth. This chapter is related to a career in business since networking and lifelong learning are crucial for success in that area.

Anyone can make a Google account and use it. It is free and easy to work with. Slides can be used for presentation, teachers can make learning more engaging, or companies can use them to promote new ideas.

It has many features that allow you to make it more customizable. Easy to insert text, charts, images, links, or videos. You can easily change the themes and backgrounds. Google Slides makes sharing your ideas easy to understand and read. It also has presentation notes that you can read while presenting to make projects go smoothly.  Using this for my business major will be very helpful when it comes time to make m...

The focus is on transferring knowledge, but it doesn't always support real-world student growth. The "Connected Learning Communities" balance technology and broader networks to expand learning. The main idea is that these communities provide support and allow others to have different ideas and opinions, building connections to the group. The group is about leadership, support, and connections to colleagues.      This concept can be translated to my business major.

Working with people in a business can be difficult when everyone has different ideas. Instead of turning against one another, we can work together to make plans come to life.       The local community, global networ...
