Week 5 Post 3: Reflection Helpful Guide

This week I spent quite some time reading articles and trying to get a better understanding when it comes to intellectual property or proper use of sources. As someone who plans to be creative, this was something valuable for me to gain insight into as I prepare for a future career in the field of academia. As much as giving credit to sources is emphasized in school, I don't believe that we have all been properly educated on using content ethically.

While doing some research on the internet, I found a very helpful resource that discusses what proper use of information looks like, and I wanted to share that. It explains intellectual property, things about copyright, and plagiarism. I saved it since I found it to be informative and simple in explanation of all the related concepts.

I tried to look for infographics that were simpler but were not pleased with my options. I think this gives me an opportunity to create my own and maybe I could share it in the future.

Is Social Media a Practical Method for Learning?

In this week's readings, one of the articles I read was about the case study done on high school students and how they use social media platforms for informal learning. The article, titled "Teens and Social Media: A Case Study of High School Students’ Informal Learning Practices and Trajectories," found that students can potentially learn through non-traditional methods, such as social media when it aligns with their interests. The primary themes found within the research were that there are three sorts of informal learning that include "career/future planning, entrepreneurship, and hobbies" (baggy et al. 242).These themes came as no surprise as we are aware that there are algorithms on social media for a reason. However, it was interesting to see career planning as one of the main ones that came up. When I think about the concept of learning through social media, I think more about entrepreneurship and hobbies. There have been several instances where people h...

Dearest Readers... (Bridgerton)

Any Bridgerton fans in this course? If so, please let me know your thoughts about the first half of the new season so far. For those who are unfamiliar, Bridgeton is a series that follows a powerful family amidst their search for love while navigating London's high society. Since I am now caught up with the new season, I wanted to share some remarks regarding lady Whistledown and how exciting it is every time she shares her thoughts and gossip about society. Now, in that society, there is a patriarchal system but imagine it being on steroids as women are not allowed much to do. So Lady Whistledown has been keeping a hidden identity while writing about her society. Now that you've had that introduction, I wanted to talk about how Lady Whistledown's articles would have been ideal for a blog in this day and age. Her articles would have made a popular blog, as a lot of people love to hear about the gossip and things that go on in the communities they are part of. Now the adva...

Week 6 Post 3: To Future Me

Out of the tools listed this week, I was very surprised to learn about a tool where you can write a letter to your future self. With this 6th week, I have had several challenges and have felt like I needed a lot of encouragement. So it was nice to explore this tool, and even seeing that I could send money to my future self was such a cool feature. I ended up writing myself an encouraging letter that talked about what I have done, my goals, my hopes, and my aspirations. I wished my future self well and told her that no matter what she has going on in the future, she will succeed. Writing that letter made me emotional and reminded me that I must be my biggest fan. With everything going on in life, there are times when things feel tough, and we can feel a lack of motivation. When I lack motivation, I think it is helpful to take a step back to reflect on the past challenges and how they have passed. Times like these are temporary, and without challenges, we stay stagnant. In my ...
