Creating a PLN was very hard for me because it had a hard time understanding what you had to do. I ask around and I was lead to Scoop.it. It was very easy to understand and to follow because being a new time blogger it is hard to understand what the internet has to offer. I look forward to being able to create new categories and share my thoughts throw Scoop.it. Also look forward to learning new ideas that will better my education throw PLN.
The internet has a lot of impact to my personal life. I stay in contact to many of my family and friends across the states it makes it easy for me to have a relationship with them. Without the use of the internet it would be hard for me to stay in contact with them. I live in a town where half of the population is military and for that it has help me stay in contact with many of my friends that are overseas fighting for our freedom. Also for my family could watch me play the sports I love on the east coast online without the internet that would not be possible.
I use the internet for social media more than anything I learn what is going on with my family and friends. I learn what also happens in my town through social media. Other than that I am starting to get on the computer to help me with coaching plays and strategies that is it. I like to help my career out but other than that I do not get on the internet to just research I am working on trying to do better. I have not followed the authors or sites on the internet like I said in the beginning I really only go on for social media. The internet helps me get plays and strategies for difficult games and situation that my team might encounter. Also helps me see what the new trends are in basketball so my team can be on point. You always have the itch to go back and look at gossip and that is what takes away from good learning for me. I think technology is a great tool to learning because almost everything is starting to have technology. For example you have a touch screen soda pop machine. If you did not have technology you would not be able to do that. You can see that technology also keeps you up to date and even the generations that are not involved with technology are starting to learn. Also you can look up different remedies to make you fight a cold to being creative and doing arts and crafts with your kids. Technology also helps people get the word out about business or announcement they have with out that people would be wasting a lot of paper just like it was back in the day. The technology that we have today helps learning and making the world smarter. This video made you really look into yourself and your career that you are in. For me I love being a coach I played sports my whole life and giving back as a coach is such a rewarding job. I feel like I am playing when I am coaching my team no matter what the score is I try to teach all my players that it not the outcome its what you learn through the process. Some situations when I feel like I am in my "sweet spot" is when you see the team plays to their full potential. As a coach you have that moment when you are speechless. Another situation is when you draw up a play and they run it and it works you get this feeling like you made the right choice to be a coach. Every time I step into practice or games I absolutely enjoy every moment of it because I teach them but they are also teaching me at the same time. So I feel like I am one of the two people out of ten that is in a career that is my strength.
I am young still and I want to become a college coach so I still have a lot to learn. So being young works both ways in the coaching world. I am always ready to learn new things and try new things. So being young I still have time to develop what kind of coach I would like to be when I grow up. As of right now and coaching my team I feel like when are beating a team my team loses their fight in the game and it is creating bad habits. For me being a player I never took a play off and went hard each play that is my strength but to teach that is hard for me because something that takes time. I like this video because it really made you look into yourself. I never thought about the weakness to strengths but it is so true when your sit down and think about it. Looking back on it I would of tried to work on my strength more than my weakness to be a stronger coach. Also the education part of it I wish I would of work on my strengths more so I could enjoy school more because I felt like I was always working on my weakness. I like the microblogging because it is short sentence that make it more realistic. I like how the coaches type what is on their mind they only have a certain amount of characters to use. That means that they have to be short and to the point when they are twitter for an example. Also I also like how it has a different themes when you are twitter. I like when you search for something everything is broken down in themes. For example I was looking at sports and it was broken down to all the basketball players. I think this can be very helpful for people that really do not use the computer well. Also it is very easy to work around so it makes it easy to go from one page to another and search for different things. The blogging is also big for actors, professional athletes, and famous celebrities. It makes them all person to the average person because they are more realistic and do not have to go off of script. I also think this can be very educational to many people because you can teach them the pros and cons to twitter. Also you can learn from what people are saying and use it in your life. For example when I set up my twitter account I started to follow Tim Tebow and he had a bible verse on his twitter I thought that was very neat. When young generations are very tech smart the kids start to look up to the athletes and this can be a positive outcome because it shows that everyone is equal.
I feel like this does a good job of representing his or her because the person was able to do this on their own and put out what they thought was their best work. Also this make the person be responsible and take the time to put themselves out there. Personally I like it because you have total control over what goes on it and what does not. I think with the other online pages you have little control. For example if your own Facebook you get tag into a picture that is for the world to see. I also like PWP because you can have fun with it and design it the way you would want it not the way everyone else wants it. I would change one thing is that to make it little more easy to be able to work on two screens at once. I had to keep going back and that may because I did not know what I was doing. I think it is both professional and personal. First you can be professional and lay out all your work you have done but also person because you are the creator. When you are the creator you usually put personal touches on it which make it that much more personal. I like the whole idea PWP because you get to showcase yourself off and not what the internet has.
I am a driven person that reaches for the stars. With God on my side all things are possible throw him I live my life. I live life to the fullest and with no REGRETS!!! As an athlete you are pushed to your limits that has taught me the same thing as in life. Push throw all your obstacles because the outcome is greater. I think of live is like a roller coaster twist, turns, ups and downs ride it out because it is worth it.
