Welcome to my second week practicing yoga! I found this week was A LOT harder for me because flexibility is a huge weakness of mine. I started out by taking some photos to show just how inflexible I really am. Yes, that’s as far as I can go… I know, It’s bad. Look at those knees bend! YIKES!! I’m actually quite embarrassed to show these photos however, I am hoping to show some drastic improvements throughout the course of my yoga experience! Since I really enjoyed following along with an instructor last week I wanted to try it again but with a focus on flexibility this time. With the advice…

Figuring out Feedly
First things first, I made an account. Easy peasy. To begin my Feedly quest, I started to search for some education related blogs to follow. In the search bar, I typed in “education” and a bunch of blogs came up right away. Making sure I wasn’t going on a crazy follow frenzy, I decided I needed to be careful with what I want to engage with. So, I began browsing through the accounts checking to see how many followers the blogs had along with how active they were in producing interesting articles. I followed the blogs that shared articles that I found most interesting as well as the blogs with…

With a quick youtube search, I found an isolated hip and lower back release yoga sequence with Adriene. Using youtube was…

Yoga newbie
With how often I complain of body soreness and inflexibility, I might as well be classified as a senior citizen. For my age, I am extremely embarrassed to already be complaining of lower back and hip pain. What’s even worse is the fact that I can’t even touch my toes. With this in mind, I have decided to learn how to practice yoga. I have always been interested in yoga and improving my flexibility but found the terminology and the poses too intimidating to actually join a class. I figured the learning project is the perfect opportunity to finally put my fears aside and try it out! My plan I…

It’s Alex!
Hi everyone! My name is Alexandra but I’d prefer if you just called me Alex. To get to know me personally you can check out my about me page! As for educational technology, well, I’d be lying if I said I was super confident. So let’s just say I’ll probably be learning A LOT in this course! I know the basics with computers and apps but it may take me a little time to figure the new things out, so bear with me. As you can probably already tell from my blog, I am new to this. I think blogging is awesome and kudos to the people that do it…
