It's 2000, I'm sitting in my parent's walk-in closet in our tiny apartment, where we kept the computer. I start up the computer and hear, Pshhhkkkkkkrrrrkakingkakingkakingtshchchchchchchchcch*ding*ding*ding* (I've included a youtube video if you need a reminder on what dial-up sounds like).
The internet was just emerging! I felt like the luckiest person to have internet in my house. I don't remember doing much with it, but I do remember that sound and the simple appearance. Just to think that it was Web 1.0 that I was experiencing. Now I get to experience Web 2.0 and even Web 3.0! As much as it is great to experience Web 3.0, I would like Facebook to stop promoting items I don't need... But wait maybe that's Web 4.0? Before I give myself a headache, maybe I'll just stick to trying to understand Web 2.0 before I get into the others.
Reflection - Week 2: This week I feel like I hit the ground running! As I was looking back on my participation log. I felt like I accomplished quite a bit. Once Friday hit things went a little downhill. I've been working on updating the backyard and this weekend was the perfect long weekend to get things checked off the list. While I failed at completing the Instagram photo challenge. I did get to use social media to help me with a special backyard project. For the past few days, we have had a chicken come roam into our front yard. My daughter and I have been feeding it bird food because my daughter loves all animals. This got me thinking, that maybe it's finally time to get chickens of our own. I started with Pinterest checking on different chicken coop ideas. I texted a few friends for advice. I even watched some DIY youtube videos on how to build a coop. From my research, I've learned that there are 53 different chicken breeds! I've narrowed down my search to 4 di...
Happy Hump Day! This week feels longer than the last. Could be because school lets out in 6 days, which means my workload lightens and I can already feel myself wanting to take a much-needed vacation. After looking through the different reading options this week, the journal article that stood out most to me was, "Constructing academic alter-egos: identity issues in a blog-based community". The keyword is alter-egos . As I read through the article I kept thinking about Monday's Instagram challenge. I don't just post all the time on my Instagram feed. Only "curated" photos go there. If I want to share a photo or video that doesn't fit my "standard" of what goes on my feed, I just share it to my stories. I hate how I'm explaining what goes where and why, like if I have a mass following and must keep to my brand. Dennen shared a piece from Bruner, that I felt encompassed what I was feeling. "As bloggers weave the narratives of their live...
This week I attended a professional development workshop on The 4 Disciplines of Execution. While I sat in this workshop I immediately thought about this course. Before I get started on why EME6414 came to mind, let me give you a quick overview of what The 4 Disciplines of Execution are. Overview: It's basically promised that if you can adopt the 4 disciplines then you can produce breakthrough results! Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important Goal (WIG) Discipline 2: Act on Lead Measures Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard (this is where it's going to all make sense). Discipline 4: Create a cadence of accountability In the workshop, they talked about the whirlwind. In the whirlwind, there is a lot of stuff going on, but not everything is important. This is where the WIG comes in. Finding your FOCUS. In order to do things well, you need to focus on two important tasks at a time. They shared this example. If Jimmy wants to learn how to tie his shoe, we need to create...
