Throughout the rest of this post I will dive deeper into each of these topics and how they were approached…

New Learning: As I continued with the plan I had outlined in my first few Learning Blog Posts, I noticed that distractions while training have increasingly become an issue.

As the idea of connecting through technology has existed almost my whole life, each development…

Before enrolling in this course, I had never considered the ways in which I use technology, and how they impact both my educational and day to day life.
