Update on progress

I continue to explore various tools through this class and am enjoying getting familiar with various social media tools, and concepts behind their usage. I enjoyed writing my paper this week that compared and contrasted lurking and participating on the internet. I chose to look at the aviation industry, as I have some familiarity with it. The difference between these experiences was very clear, and I found that I prefer to lurk rather than participate as that is where my comfort normally lies when personally using social media. I usually do not participate unless it is related specifically to work.

I am excited to see what we will be learning next module!

    I completely relate with preferring to lurk! I often dislike commenting or posting publicly due to the lack of personal connection vs. in person interactions. Your paper sounds interesting, especially with the inclusion of aviation!

    I'm with you as my comfort zone is lurking, but I do get feisty when I want to share something that I am passionate about. For my paper I chose a FB page that has been very challenging to avoid participating and the one that I choose to participate in has been a struggle. I can’t wait to switch and actually participate on a recreational, not work related, FB page. But I have to say that this class has pushed me outside of my comfort zone as I have been posting more in my private groups, scheduling and sharing events, etc. I’ve been stalked in the past, so being expose on social media has been most uncomfortable. I feel safer in private groups.

Using Canva

 At one of my previous jobs, we did use Canva for project communication. I find it to be a very effective tool when it comes to employees working together on a project. We were able to share documents, ask questions and get alerts on when people made comments. This was very helpful for us to collaborate during the daytime. The only downside to working with Canva was that people could send messages at all times during the day. Even though you can mark yourself as "away" some people did not honor this, and expected me to be available at all hours to answer. I found this difficult in order to create a good work-life balance. Hopefully I will have a job that honors time off! In terms of using Canva in the educational world, I think it could also be very useful. Educators often have to cross collaborate with other teachers in their grade level in order to align curriculum and scheduling of events, reports, etc. Canva could also be used by principals to send messages to teachers.

Graduate School thus far

 I fell behind this week on classwork, as I was dealing with a personal situation and took some mental health time. Don't feel great about falling behind. I have been enjoying all of my courses so far (I am taking four and am full-time), and have been going with the flow nicely until this past week. I am now playing catch-up and feel a bit overwhelmed. I have assignments due today! I am hoping that I can get back on track now, and get back into that productive swing of things. There is so much to learn, so much to do, and I am excited about it all! I am wondering if anyone else has hit a wall so to speak with their learning this semester and how everyone has been dealing with the workload.

Reflecting on tools I have learned about this semester

Image
One of the most helpful sites that have been shared this semester is the list of all of the tools we have covered. I will be referring to this list in future projects as it is highly extensive and is 2.0 tools "greatest hits". I also transferred this information into a Google Sheets doc, and you can see the document here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GjKvQMPzY2jCb3LLhakuVGafDuRvvZezxkOhQihQREo/edit?usp=sharing I added two sections, one that includes a description of the intended use and one if a free version is available. I would have liked to include even more details, but feel this is a great reference tool to look up quickly a tool that will work as a solution to whatever problem I have.
