Reflection Prompt: Reflect on how you perceive yourself as an online learner? Are you well-prepare to be an online leaner? Tell us about what you need to improve in order to be a successful online learner.

Currently I feel that I am prepared to be an online learner. I see this style, type, and/or mode of learning as a preferential method for myself to learn and to digest material. I am a very hands on and trial and error learner which in a traditional classroom can be my downfall; however, in the online environment I am able to speed up or slow down whenever I need to. I have used this throughout this course where I have been able to dedicate a lot of time and get through modules that I was already conformable with allowing myself to get ahead at times and when needed to take a break and redirect my attention to other classes. I feel that with my technology background and overall passion for technology I am well prepared to not only be an online learner but also an online leader. One of the biggest challenges for myself is not to get to far ahead of myself. I tend to get through content at a fast pace, but I sometimes forget to go back and do the discussions or small yet very important details that need to be completed. What I have done remedy this is create a checklist on Google Forms so I can make sure that even if I am working ahead I am hitting all necessary steps.
