When I reflect on these past 6 weeks, I am surprised by how much I have learned in so little time. Some of my learning can be attributed to my connections with others in the class. As I posted, read, and engaged with the many blog posts throughout the course, I always found I learned something new! Within my comments, I tried to provide positive feedback, sometimes relating to the post, as well, providing advice or links to resources. Below are some examples of the comments I had left on my classmates’ blogs. To see all of my comments, you can click here.
This course also had a discord chat. I did not engage with that chat as much as I would have liked to but I found that other people were quicker to respond than I was. Thus, missing opportunities to connect. I suppose I could have still replied but there would have been no point in giving the same answer as several other classmates. You will see a few of my communication screenshots posted below from when I was able to respond before someone else. As far as reaching out and asking questions in this space, it wasnt until the very end when I was making this post that I reached out for support. I had observed another classmates post and noticed they had an added slideshow within it. Having not seen this before, I reached out to ask how they did it as it added a really neat feature to their post and I had to try it out for myself. They were quick to respond, and gave descriptive details on how to do it. If you are curious yourself, check out the conversation below in the slideshow I had created. Besides this, I did not come across any challenges that I needed answers for. Nevertheless, by reviewing the questions and responses of my peers in the discord chat, I gained insights from their comments and the articles and links they shared.
