Personal Learning Plan (PLP)- Goal 1

Complete Twitter tutorial in Atomic Learning at and record experience with this tutorial as well as information learned in personal blog.

The University of West Georgia www.westga.edu offers its students free access to Atomic Learning www.atomiclearning.com/‎. I have completed the Twitter tutorial which addressed eight headings, A-H, and many subheadings under each heading. The tutorial was easy to navigate but I found it very time consuming accessing each subheading once you expanded the heading. It did go faster once I realized there were arrows in the top left of the screen that would advance to the next subheading. I do feel more comfortable with the language of “following” and being a “follower”. My fear score is down from a “10” to a “5”.
