The impact of digital technology on education is examined in this chapter of the "Connected Educator". Things like perpetuating and sustaining momentum within your career, making appreciative inquiries, action research, and scaling up. Each of these things stems from adapting to your work or educational surroundings and finding new ways to make things more efficient. It explores how educators might use social media for professional development, participate in perpetual education, and create professional networks. The chapter illustrates the advantages of working together virtually as well as the overall effectiveness of digital tools in improving instruction and student results. It may deal with subjects including creating online learning communities for educators, using social media for professional growth and encouraging cooperation between educators. 

In the field of business management, teamwork, and being connected are essential for fostering creativity and accomplishing corporate objectives. Businesses gain a lot from easy-to-use collaboration, communication, and information access for their employees, much as educators do from networking and online resource sharing because the possibilities are at your own fingertips. The same methods can be used by managers to help staff members grow professionally within their companies, share expertise, and engage in lifelong learning. Utilizing digital tools like social media and collaboration platforms, companies may set up online communities where staff members can interact, share ideas, and remain informed about market developments. These solutions can also increase workflow efficiency, promote an innovative culture within the company, and streamline forms of communication.

    I love that this concept of "Discover, dream, design, deliver," can be applied to in person as well as online structures! This means for any job, any society of persons, a network of people can come together and support and sustain one another to get far and achieve goals!
