Hello everyone,
welcome to my first blog!
My name is Emily and I’m currently a 3rd year psychology
student attending Brock University. My time at Brock has been nothing but a
positive experience. I’ve met great people and have had the privilege to learn
from excellent professors. I only have one year left before I complete my
undergraduate degree. At the end of my schooling I hope to obtain a job doing
some sort of counseling work. When I’m not at school or working, I love to go
to the gym especially spinning classes as well as bake delicious desserts.
I have to be honest; I don’t know a lot about blogging, I do
know that it’s an excellent way for people to share their experiences,
opinions, and knowledge. I actually created this blog for a course that I am
currently enrolled in at Brock. The course is all about learning in digital
contexts. I decided to take this course, as it is a topic I don’t know a lot
about. We see technology-advancing everyday and I think it’s important to be
aware of how we can use technology to enhance our learning. Another main reason
I chose to take this course as one of my electives is because it is an online
course. Throughout my years at Brock I’ve taken a number of online courses.
I’ve really come to enjoy the online learning experience as it allows for more
flexibility in my schedule. Students often juggle hectic schedules; online
learning is becoming more and more desirable for students today. One piece of
advice I would offer to students considering online courses is to stay
organized and on top of due dates. This will ensure you don’t fall behind on
the weekly sessions and activities!
As the main purpose of my blog is for educational purposes,
a majority of my blog posts will consist of weekly reflections outlining
valuable information I have learned throughout the duration of the course. I’m
looking forward to gain more knowledge that will increase my online skills as
well as learning about how technology can benefit me as a student. Creating a
blog is something I probably would never have done if it weren’t for this
course. I hope that as I continue to write blog posts it will enhance my
written communication skills. This is a skill that is not only important to be
successful in school, but for future job opportunities as well. For those of
you who will be following my blog, I hope you’re able to learn something you
consider valuable as well!
I look forward to the next 12 weeks in this course, and am
excited to finally be apart of the blogging community!
Emily
