Overall this week was one of my favorites! I was able to participate and engage in multiple challenges, and the best challenge of them all was on Twitter. Twitter has become the social media app I constantly use, and I love the direction that my personal Twitter is evolving with a mix of my doctoral identity and leadership educator identity while also sharing the highs and lows of my experience. I discuss the joys of teaching, presenting, and doing research with outstanding faculty; while sharing updates about my life and the specific day I might have had, whether good or bad. I want to continue to be authentic when engaging in higher education. I want individuals to always feel comfortable speaking with me and knowing that I, too, am human, regardless of the level of education I might hold or even positions later on in my career. In this week's Twitter challenge, I was able to be funny with my Gif choices while also profoundly thinking about what I wanted to share for the challenge. Many of the hashtags were very fitting for the course, and I was happy to display that with others in the class and those who are not taking EME6414 this summer but are noticing the positive engagement that the course is having! Seeing how learning happens in various places, especially on social media, has been fantastic! I'm thankful to have joined in on this challenge, as I started thinking of ideas for how a similar structure or model could be created to engage with undergraduate students in either one of the asynchronous leadership courses I enjoy teaching. I liked the challenge because I could see what my peers came up with. I plan to follow up regarding some of our discussions and conversations because they were so good! Shout out to the EME6414 Summer Fam! #SumItSunday

I am thankful that we had last week as a break, so I came back curious and with questions as I started to read some of the materials for this week. I am interested in learning more about Trello because I often collaborate with peers and faculty members on research projects. I think that having something where we can connect easier could truly benefit our goals. Reading over some of the features that Trello offers, it was neat to see the various apps (dropbox, twitter, storiesonboard, etc.) available to be connected to Trello. Trello has three different plans; it was interesting to learn about them to see which plans would make the most sense for me and how I would utilize Trello. The standard plan would be where would start to see how using this with a small team could benefit our productivity. I'd like to see what else Trello can do and how individuals can make the best out of the platform. You c...
