Week 9 Tools

 Hi Classmates, 

After reviewing the tools for this week, I am familiar with 2 out of the 4. I use GroupMe and WhatsApp the most. I use GroupMe to stay connected with people I’m involved with in organizations and for class projects because usually there’s a big group, and GroupMe works great for handling large numbers of people. It makes it easy to keep everyone in the loop without missing messages. I use WhatsApp mostly to communicate with people who aren’t in the United States. For example, when I go on vacation, I use WhatsApp to book excursions and coordinate plans with tour guides abroad. It’s super convenient because you don't have to worry about text message fees. 

Out of the two that I am not familiar with, I think MIRO would work the best for me because you can create diagrams and tables which is beneficial for both my professional work and my doctoral program. In my job, I often need to organize complex information and collaborate with teams, so having a visual tool like MIRO would help me map out ideas clearly. For my doctoral studies, especially when working on research projects or organizing data, it would make it easier to plan and present my work in a more structured way.

Current State of Mind

Hi Everyone,  I hope all is well! Summer classes have officially started, and it's time to get back to working toward our purpose — earning that degree we’re all looking forward to receiving. The two-week break we had before summer classes began was such a breath of fresh air for me. I was able to truly relax and not worry about schoolwork or writing papers (which is basically all I do as a Doctoral student — LOL).  Those two weeks flew by so fast! I did have moments where I felt like I was missing something because, for the past two semesters, I’ve always had something school-related going on. Now that summer classes are here, I’m back to doing schoolwork — and I lowkey missed it just a bit, only because it keeps me busy. Currently, I’m a little nervous about each of my summer classes because, after reading the syllabi, it looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me — especially papers! But on the bright side, all of my classes are online, so I don’t have to worry about comin...

Social Media Hashtags

 Hi Everyone,  Hashtags are sooooo DOPE!!! In fact, every time I post on any of my social media pages, I create hashtags because they help my content reach a wider audience and connect with people who share similar interests. Hashtags make it easier for others to find my posts, whether I’m talking about something fun, promoting an event, or joining a trending conversation. They’re also a great way to express creativity and add personality to what I’m sharing. For example, I use hashtags a lot on TikTok because my goal is to reach 10,000 followers. I always post vacation content as well because I know people are interested in that.  Please see below an article I wanted to share with you all regarding hashtags. This article provides information about hashtags, disadvantages and advantages of using hashtags and how to use them.   https://www.ama.org/marketing-news/social-media-hashtags/ - India Woods

Let's Talk about Twitter AKA "X"

 Hi Class,  In this blog, I wanted to talk about Twitter but now known as "X."  Writing these blog posts reminds me a lot of how "X" works such as sharing thoughts and ideas in a quick and engaging way that sparks conversation. While our posts here tend to be a bit longer, the way we share and connecting is very similar. Both platforms give us a chance to express ourselves, reflect on ideas, and interact with each other.  If you don’t already have an "X"  account, I’d encourage you to consider giving it a try. You will be able to stay informed about current events and build a network of people with similar interests whether personal or professional.  As you can see I've been referring to Twitter as "X" because the platform officially rebranded itself with that name which marked a significant shift in its identity and direction. Some people love the changes and others don't. Please see below an article that I wanted to share with you all a...
