My thoughts on technology tools and course websites I will be using

Hello again!!

In today's blog post I will be writing about technology tools and course websites I will be using throughout this semester. This semester we will be using technology tools such as Blogger, Diigo (bookmarking tool), Pinterest, image editing and graphics creators such as Canvas, Cheezburger and Automotivator. I will also be using Padlet, Unity 3D and WordPress. I haven't heard of all these tools but I am sure I will find out soon. I have only used blogger (obviously) and Pinterest which I love. it is so handy and you can find anything you are looking for on it!! I use Pinterest to look for images for my blog!

Our class will be directed by using our class website. the website includes all our weekly tasks and demonstrations which I find extremely helpful. We can also access each other's blogs through links on the website, this will save a lot of time trying to find everyone's blogs and give us all easy access! The class website is the most helpful thing this semester as I would consider myself a very busy person so when I need to have something done I can just quickly look on the website that is very well done. Again, I would like to see more module lectures use this method over the next few years of college.

Feedback Strategies

Hello! Today I will be talking about different feedback strategies. Last week I spoke about my thoughts on feedback in general but today I will be going into more dept and talk about how I can give feedback to someone else as well as my general thoughts. I have read two articles about feedback: Try Feedforward Instead of Feedback by Marshall Goldsmith and How to Give Feedback Without Sounding Like a Jerk by Adam Grant. The first article I read was Try feedforward instead of feedback . I found this article very interesting and the title immediately caught my eye. In the article, Goldsmith talks about both the positive and negative sides of feedback. Goldsmith says that feedback can benefit a person but also can focus on the past and what has already occurred. He then suggests using the method of 'feedforward'. This is when a person suggests how to improve in the future and suggests help. I have never heard of feedforward until I read ...

Game idea research

Hello everyone! I have finally decided on a game idea that I want to recreate! It wasn't particularly difficult for me to chose but I knew it would have to be a choice between two games! I wanted to choose between either flappy bird or Nintendogs! I chose... Nintendogs!!! I named my game "Puppy Paws". I chose Nintendogs because I was always interested in the game itself and I thought that it could be a potential challenge to recreate the game. I know, why do I want a challenge when I am already drowning in work that I have barely any time to do? I don't have the answer to that question just yet but let's hope the challenge is worth it! Nintendogs has a lot of elements to it that is impossible for me to create this semester. I plan to take out a lot of difficulty to the game and only focus on the basics but with a twist! To start, the dog owner (the player)will own a puppy. They must name it and train it! Basic training will have already been complete (learning...

Tech Tip: Blogger design templates

Hello!! I decided to chose a new blog design, the design is quite simple so my readers can focus more on my words rather than the site surrounding my words. I used the design template "notable" and customised the colour to blue (my favourite colour). I was unable to change the background image but I prefer my blog sweet and simple. I would highly recommend to anyone reading who has their own blogs, to redesign your blog to suit you and make it more personal so your readers can learn a little bit more about you. Thanks for reading another tech tip!! Student online, going offline <3
