Course Reflection & Feedback

-

    I loved this class! It really gave me a very diverse background in all of the google applications. My favorite to learn had to be calendar and task application. These are going to be very useful, especially when I start organizing my own business. I would say that the one application that surprised me was google keep. I had no idea they offered something like that, and it is super useful especially when you want to transfer information between different devices. I also personally loved learning all of the different formulas and charts that you can curate with google sheets. There was so many different things that you can create with google sheets. It's a very complex application. 

    Going forward I am going to use my knowledge with these applications to start up my own business and maintain professional etiquette with my clients. I am going to be mostly using the calendar, Gmail, and task apps. However, I do plan to use sheets and docs to manage my internal organization with spec documents and writing up proposals to send to clients. I would have liked to seen a little overview on google chat because that seems popular in communities. It's great to be able to talk with your coworkers on there. 

    I think that the applied skills projects were a wonderful incorporation within the course. It helped a lot having that background knowledge before attempting the assignment. I did not attend any of the Techconnect Zoom sessions, but that is only because it interfered with my personal schedule. I did watch some of the recordings, and having access to those were very helpful as well. I liked how the course was laid out and all of the feedback that we received from you on our assignments, helped the future assignments that we had to do. The workload fluctuated, as it does always. Some weeks were more intense than others, but I was able to manage, and I had 4 other classes on top of this one. I also liked how some weeks we had blog posts, and others we had something different. The course was very diverse. I had a lot of fun learning all about what google has to offer.

First Impressions of Blogging and Blogger

-
I love the idea of creating blog posts to interact with clients and create a more personal page for people to interact with you and your company. It is a good tool to express your passions and the type of style that you want your company to express with the cliental. Sometimes this can be the first impression that a client sees of your company and you want it to properly reflect your companies values.  My favorite blog page that you gave us as an example is Cup of Jo. I love that the application photo is changed and the web design looks very easy to use and has a profitable aesthetic throughout. It is very simple, visually appealing, and uses more photos to be interactive with website users. The other one that I like is Yellow Van Travels because of how it is organized and structured simply in numerical order with the post. It gives little blurbs for each blog post to hook you in and make you want to read the posts. It looks very clean and user-friendly.  I have never done blogging bef

Forms and Slides

-
     I loved learning about all of the different custom designs and questionnaires that you can create using google forms. I didn't realize how unique and creative that you can get with a form. My favorite part was learning about all the different colors, images, and themes that you can attach to a questionnaire. I also realized just how complex you can get with some of the types of questions. It can really make quizzes and tests unique!      Slides was another google application that we explored. However, it wasn't my first time using the program, I did learn a lot more about the specific aspects that it does offer. I would say that my favorite part of slides is the presenter notes. It really cool that you can leave yourself extra notes or key phrases that you want to talk about during a presentation and the audience won't be able to see it. It's a wonderful guide that you can use as a presenter to be more prepared and ready for the presentation.

There will always be a wave to ride

  Everyone is going through their own struggles, even though most of us may not look like it, we are. Whether it is stress or conflict on our personal lives, work lives, school lives, we all have challenges that we go through on the daily. Mentally, we need to find time to de-stress and forget about all of our worries. These can be very daunting on a person when they are constantly running through their mind, therefore, having a good support system is key. Being able to have people that you can rely on is very important. Also, being very busy and not having time to even think abt it the slightest bit. Personally, what I like to do is go on nature walks. Nothing around my neighborhood, because that has too many distractions. However, a large park, a place with a lake, or somewhere on the outskirts that resembles more of something that you would find in nature. I love smelling the plants, feeling the wind, and seeing all the little animals that are scurrying around. It really relaxes the
