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.

How Does Social Media Fit in Developing Countries?

Reflecting on this week, I loved that we connected our learning to international perspectives, which allowed me to dig deeper into how technology is utilized beyond U.S.-based perceptions. I often take social media for granted because it can get overwhelming and exhausting if not appropriately balanced. Social media has been a pivotal way for me to learn information; I would even say to learn information globally. The access to resources that increase our knowledge consumption is a privilege that not many developing countries are afforded. Therefore, I wanted to know more about similarities and distinct differences in social media use across the U.S. context and developing countries. In full transparency, this is the first time that I have been able to explore international perspectives in digital media. I found another article that provided an overview through various charts and graphs that were helpful. I never considered how social media can reach a place of stoppage that does not c...

Keeping up With Technology—Digital Natives vs. Digital Immigrants

       Before this week's readings, I only partially thought about generational differences when it comes to technology. Yes, I know there have been distinct differences between how I grew up as a child compared to my parents and now my nieces and nephew with using technology. I did not always have the latest technology growing up, but when I did, it felt like I "had" to have it to stay connected to what my peers were experiencing. My nieces and nephew are now growing up with all types of technology (tablets, school laptops, YouTube, TikTok, etc.) because it is so prevalent in their experiences and upbringing. While reflecting on the readings, the part that shocked me the most would have to be the terms digital natives and digital immigrants (Prensky, 2001). I knew that these specific "identities" regarding technology usage existed, but I did not know there was a term that classified it all together until the Prensky (2001) article. As described in the article, ...

"New Look, Who Dis" Blog Makeover

What a perfect challenge to engage in! It is time for a CHANGE. Change is good. Change is scary. Change is important. I was curious to know how I wanted my blogger site to look when we were tasked with creating our blogger account. I went with something that felt "safe" or comfortable to my liking. I wanted to represent myself, given the headshot. I added something representing my fraternity, and then the overall color with the orange sunset vibe felt like something I would enjoy. I went with some standard or default choices regarding my fonts, backgrounds, and gadgets. The options were endless; I was correct! My blogger design worked for me, and I did not feel like it was something I would grow to hate or dislike. Due to the blog makeover challenge, I am open to embracing this new change! I changed parts of the layout; I chose a different color and switched some fonts to provide a more contemporary feel, look, and vibe. Any suggestions? Thoughts?   I am willing to continue t...
