Trello ? Yay or Nay?


 

For this week, I slowly got myself back in the swing of things with EME 6414.  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 can connect calendars, timelines, and different boards for others to see and connect. Trello has left me with questions, and I think I could get the answer by engaging fully with the platform and seeing if it is beneficial. What are your thoughts on Trello?

    I agree it was tough for me to get back into the swing of thins, which led me to create my first blog of the week "getting back into the groove of things.." I also personally have not used Trello but I chose to create a Slack account instead, only because it seemed to be really popular at one point in time, especially in higher education. Let me know if it is something you could see yourself maintaining after EME 6414.

    I like the idea of using Trello for team design projects. I may end up using the solo subscription to get familiar with it. That way, I'll be ready to use it if it's used by any team I join in the future. The integrated chat makes it super useful for progress checks.

    I like Trello in concept, but have never used it enough to really get the hang of it. I tried to get a research team to use it, but everyone was like "ugh, another tool" (me, too, TBH). I feel like I would need a leader to really get into it.

Competitive in a Digital World

 Joining Friday's Zoom session about the various challenges and badges we will have the opportunity to engage with throughout the summer initially brought out the competitor in me. However, digital challenges provide a unique spin for me when considering my competitive identity and how it shows up in this digital world. Many of the challenges and badges for the course will only enhance my competence, knowledge, and expertise when it comes to using the various social media platforms and sites. Instead of thinking solely of "winning" when it comes to engaging in the challenges and badges, I am reframing my thinking to embrace the challenges and badges as developmental opportunities to continue expanding my technology knowledge and skills. Dr. Dennen mentioned how students in the past have printed out the badges for them to display or have physically worn some of the badges that they have earned.  I decided to explore the concept of digital badges; one type of digital badge ...

Reddit Communities! Joining Like-Minded Individuals

  Joining the world of Reddit this week has been a major highlight for me! I had heard of Reddit before but only partially paid close attention to what individuals could do on Reddit. I assumed it was another place to offer reviews and commentary on topics of interest. As I began to work on the Community Norms assignment, I knew I wanted to participate in the full version; the full version offered a unique perspective to continue enhancing my knowledge and skills with the various digital and social media sites for class. Although I was excited to participate and engage in Reddit communities, there are a TON to choose from. Leaving me to feel overwhelmed by the many options. Continuing to explore Reddit, I joined communities of interest as it relates to Sports (NBA, WNBA), Reality Tv (Real Housewives Franchise, College Hill Celebrity Edition, Married to Medicine, etc.), Black memes, and Twitter communities, NBA 2K. These communities all felt normal and comfortable to me because thes...

Personal Vs. Professional Social Media Identities—Do I need to live "separate lives"?

  Personal Vs. Professional Social Media Identity Do you have to keep separate your personal and professional lives on social media? Why or why not? For a long time, when thinking about social media, I believed that my personal and professional lives could not co-exist on the same social media site/platform. I thought this to be true because I followed what others told me to do rather than what I felt worked for me. Often times I heard professionals share that their personal and professional identities are not the same. I agree that there are some differences between how I am in my personal life compared to professional work settings. However, I pride myself on being authentic and genuine as I hope to reflect those qualities in my personal and professional lives—including in digital and social media spaces. I joined social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to stay updated with current trends that many of my peers and friends were experiencing, build community an...
