A Life Long Learner

I identify myself as a life long learner. I love to learn and embrace new challenges at work, which often require learning a new process and the content of the process. I often use Google to search for something I'm not familiar with or to verify something I have heard. I'm not sure I would know what to do without Google at my finger tips!

Until taking EME6414, I had not considered having or realizing I have a Personal Learning Network (PLN). After reading several classmates' blogs, reading articles, and watching a presentation on PLNs, I can say I have a few PLNs of my own.

I'm a devoted gym member of two boutique exercise facilities. Yes, two! It's not cheap, but I enjoy what both workouts have to offer. Being apart of the gyms, offers opportunities to network beyond the local community. One of the gyms offers strategies and tips for performance improvement in- and out- side the gym. There is strong encouragement to visit other locations when traveling, including international travel. They also provide information for healthy eating and other health-focused resources, not necessarily specific to exercises. I have learned a lot through the various resources and added to my Personal Health Learning Network.

As a life long learner, I enjoy discovering new ways to learn things and new topics to learn. I've participated in webinars, utilized social media announcements to learn of events and new topics to explore, and through various courses have learned other avenues to explore new topics.

The struggle for me is there is so much out there to learn!
