Module 5 Blog: Strategies and Skills

The most useful idea I learned from this module was using other school’s online lectures to supplement my own school learning.  I have already taken some online courses, but they have mostly been unrelated, personal interest things and not really related to what I’m studying. The “dont get mad, get online” line stuck with me for using it to supplement professors.   Now that I’m approaching the point where Khan Academy doesn’t have guides to help me study for my midterms, this is incredibly useful.  This personal interest learning did apply to podcasts, however and I actually listened to enough econ podcasts over last summer that it inspired me to pick up an economics minor, and those podcasts have been really useful for my classes, as I have a decent understanding of most concepts going in.   I think I could use more online resources in general after this module.  For while I have used them in the past, It was mostly to answer specific questions or to look up flashcards instead of trying to learn concepts or to fulfill a need created by a professor I don’t learn well from.  The concepts I’ve learned in this module apply well to both students and professionals.  For students, realizing how much an online resource can help you through a tough class is incredible.  For professionals, using online resources to learn a new concept and keep your skills up to date can be even more important,
