How has the Internet has impacted your own personal learning? The internet has made it easier to find information. I t is far more convenient to work and learn on your own time when the information is so readily available. I often to visit ESPN, Capital One, Yahoo!, and Google. I also visit sites/links to articles recommended by professors. I do not typically "follow" any authors or sites. For purposes of this course, I now follow ESPN and a few other sites on twitter but that's it. 

The internet helps my learning by allowing me access what I need in a convenient manner. The internet can also be  a little distracting from my learning when I am online to complete work but get sidetracked  by interesting articles or scores from games. Overall, I think technology is a very important part of learning. It has changed the way we learn and go to school for the better.

I am most in my "sweet spot" when I'm teaching in practice, conducting individual player workouts, while recruiting (over phone and in person), and when the games get tough. I feel most out of my areas of strength when I'm limited due to being an assistant coach versus being  the head coach.

I browsed the PWP provided as an example and thought that the author did a very good job creating a site that captured them personally and professionally. I liked how organized the site was as well as the author's personalized approach though I can tell that this person chose to represent themselves professionally on the Web. I would copy the clean, organized formatting of the experience and education pages. I would enhance the design though.

My name is Dexter Young. I am originally from Chicago. I now live and coach in Fresno as Assistant Men's Basketball Coach & Head Recruiter for FPU. I would like to become a head men's basketball college coach by the time I complete my Master's degree. I am married and have two daughters. I love spending time with my wife and kids (my wife is the best wife in the world)! I absolutely love playing basketball.

I am also the youngest of 13 children and all of our names begin with the letter "D" (we are known as the 13 D's). I have a passion for working with at-risk young men and love to see them develop into men. I have strong faith in my Lord and savior Jesus Christ and look forward to my studies here at FPU.
