The Kaplan Experience
Social media has become a necessity for so many individuals. When
wireless internet is down for moments every internet provider begins to be
overwhelmed with upset customers. Is this because humans are in dire need
to communicate? Maybe it is that habits have formed with updating social
media and being in the know about everything occurring.
Social media in the online college setting is an asset in so many ways.
After a student has made the determination of joining the technological
advances of online schooling, they know they will need internet on a weekly
basis. If they have these capabilities education can be developed
in a great experience and time saving way.
My time with Kaplan has been an awarding experience, I have been able to work
full work weeks, spend time with my family and still be able to attend school
almost full time. It takes a little discipline with being on line and not
having to attend the traditional brick and mortar school for classes but it is
rewarding to still get an education and not have to transition around a
difficult schedule. After completing the last two classes I
will be able to say I have achieved one big goal, a degree. It is very
uncommon still these days that many people don’t have an education and luckily
I have been able to take the path to complete one.
The educational experience with Kaplan has been a pleasant one. The
students become great friends during a ten week semester. With the
advantage of private chat during a class session, working on group projects,
and discussing many current events during class you learn so much about
everyone. Having the benefits of a Kaplan Facebook page and a Linkedin
profile it helps for the classmates to stay connected. These social media
tools didn’t completely become clear to me until after I attended Team Building
and Tools of the Digital Age. These particular classes helped my online
experience and allowed me to build a closer relationship with staff and students.
This has offered me the opportunity to develop a better online experience and
broaden my professional networking.
Within this experience I have grown more as an individual, I have learned that
education is truly a benefit, and rewarding when we apply our knowledge to the
benefits of others development. Thankfully Kaplan is a developing and
functional online program giving all of us students the opportunity to be great
communicators and business professionals.
