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...

Introduction to an everything kind of person!

Hello!  In this blog post, I will be sharing a bit about myself, my hobbies and what I got up to during lockdown! To begin let's talk about boring things...  I am 19 years old, nearly 20. I am currently in year 2 of TU Dublin and study Creative Digital Media. I am a super busy person and anytime I get any free time I can never sit still! I have 3 lovely sisters, we are all 2 years apart so that's FUN!! I live in Kildare (in the middle of nowhere) and thankfully don't have to travel by bus anymore to get into college because we are online!! Well, that is sad but it saves me a lot of time and money.  How has my life changed since last year? Well, I have changed a LOT since last year. I have taken up new hobbies, I have made a lot of plans for the coming year, I learned how to drive, I matured and grew as a person but best of all I managed to lose 2 stone!! My new hobbies include cooking, walking and just overall fitness.  As you can probably tell, I am an everything pe...
