A Day in the Life Related to Technology

Welcome Back Y’All!

Welcome back Y’All! I am glad to be here and to be finishing up my last course for the Master’s Certificate of Educational Technology and Media. For some reason, I feel like I have written a post similar to this one over the course of the last year, however, I seem to be unable to recollect which class it was for and what the heck I would have titled it. Anyways, I guess how I have been using technology in my everyday life has probably changed from a year ago until now. I’m not quite sure if it’s the end of the school year approaching, or the rain and overcast weather outside, but my brain seems to be in a bit of a fog, so this may be a jumbled post. Readers, please be patient with me today.

I’d just like to start by welcoming you to my blog! I started blogging in January 2021, and have come such a long way! Let’s be honest, in the beginning, it was super tricky and I was struggling to get the hang of it. So IF you also feel the same, know that most of us have been in those very shoes.

I am excited to learn new things, as well as to touch up some of the skills that I haven’t used in quite a while. 

I hope to feel somewhat out of my comfort zone during the course to embody the learning process and allow authentic learning to be present as much as possible.

Thanks for joining me on this new learning journey! I am excited to read your feedback and engage with you through my blog posts.

I also encourage you to be honest and let me know what you’re thinking. Looking forward to engaging in dialogue with all Y’all!

If you’re needing some help with blogging, please reach out and let me know! I am NOT AN EXPERT by any means, but I can try to figure it out with you. Chances are, I’ve had to research it and learn it myself by now.

So Make the Best of this Test, and Don’t Ask Why, It’s Not a Question, but a Summary Learned in Time…

That’s a Wrap: Major Learning Project

Can You Believe It?

First off, shoutout to Durston for being remarkably fast at thinking of a song title within the criteria I gave him. Props to him for helping me think of a song I could use for my song title! Anyways, prior to taking this course, I never in a million years thought that I would be a guest of a podcast let alone be a cohost! Durston and I have been working pretty hard on our podcast episodes—from making a script with guiding questions, and supplemental resources for each episode, all the way to the technical stuff of editing the raw recordings, adding music, and uploading it to Spotify. I have been super fortunate that Durston has been heading up most of the technical side of things, as that really isn’t my wheelhouse. I was hoping to get better at it over the course of recording episodes, but because of time restraints, I thought that I would create other resources to supplement the work that he was doing. This is something that I would like to learn in the future, but I think it’s going to take a lot of time, and a whole heck of a lot of practice. We proved to be a pretty good team, that came with different skill sets and were able to utilize our strengths in different ways. Maybe he feels different, but I am thinking that it worked out pretty well.
