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.

Challenges of Online Learning in Developing Countries

 One aspect I wanted to focus on for this week's topic regarding international perspectives is the impact of online learning in developing countries. I decided to explore Google Scholar and came across a very interesting article by Abu Elnasr E. Sobaih and colleagues (2020) titled Responses to Covid-19 in Higher Education: Social Media Usage for Sustaining Formal Academic Communication in Developing Countries . This article highlighted many other challenges I should have considered during the pandemic, especially regarding international perspectives and experiences with online learning. I knew that the experiences in the United States were highly challenging. Still, we had far more resources than developing countries to transition to online learning and instruction because of the access to learning management systems. However, most developing countries did not know how to continue learning and teaching safely, with no alternative resources and solutions like online learning systems...

Reflections on Slack

  I remember the first time I learned about Slack; it was my first year as a Graduate Supervisor in Residential Life at Indiana University. I worked alongside my direct supervisor in co-supervising an undergraduate staff of nine resident assistants (RA's). At the time of staff training, we decided on a platform that could serve as mass communication for the team. We agreed on Slack because there was the option to have multiple channels to engage in different topics. However, this felt far more complicated than a GroupMe chat. After a few failed attempts with Slack, we decided to move forward and not use it as our primary communication forum. I had mixed feelings about Slack. I did not understand any of the other features, so I did not feel I would return to using Slack. We were introduced to Slack in our week 9 module, and I considered giving Slack another try. I checked Slack's website to see if there were any changes, but I did not see any new features or changes. I chose to ...

Becoming a Blogger 101

 What should I include in my blog? Am I doing this right? How can I make this a fun learning and developmental experience for myself?  These are all questions I began asking myself after listening to Dr. Dennen's Week 1 VoiceThread. I knew that the class would challenge me in areas I may not be as familiar with, which is PERFECT. As someone who uses various digital/social media platforms, I have not gotten into blogging,  not because I don't see it as exciting but mainly because I never took the time to explore it. I never would have thought that enrolling in EME6414 for the Summer would be my start to making time to learn how to blog. Following the instructions from the VoiceThread, detailed syllabus, and week 1 Blog Journal Assignment Overview, I felt more confident in my abilities to blog. While also practicing grace with my journey of learning all about the "Do's and Don't's" of blogging. To become confident using Blogger.com, I watched different YouTu...
