For this assignment, I took some time to review my networking map and then rewatched Dave Cormier’s work to understand how I wanted to map this out. I still was unsure of how I wanted to approach this Visual Map. I took some time to review other cohorts’ blogs and see what direction they seem to take. Each person has a very interesting way of approaching this activity.
After a bit of sleuthing and exploring I was ready to start. I used the Kuma platform as it is very user-friendly and easy to jump into it right way. I broke down my quadrants of networks into groups of people I interact with. Family, Friends, School, Work & Online connections. I then added the categories of networks I use.
After having layout my bubbles, I choose one quadrant first and thought about which of the categories I use to engage them with. Once I had powered through all quadrants, it is amazing to see how much overlap there was and how one connection can be used more frequently among groups and how some can be singular in their usage.
My most connected was seen to be WhatsApp and my least connected group to a quadrant was One Drive.
As we progress through this degree and explore new tools I am interested to see the changes in usage towards the end of this program.
