Sleuthing Sidekick

I wouldn’t quite say I’m Inspector Gadget with the information that I found, but maybe his niece/sidekick Penny. via GIPHY For my cyber-sleuthing activity, I searched for Megan Marie Gurksi. I started with a simple Google search, and then progressed to searching all of the other social media platforms. One of the first things that…

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)

The prompt for this blog post is in relation to participatory culture, communities and networked learning environments. We were instructed to watch the first 15 minutes of An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube (Full video). I ended up watching the whole thing, because I was so enthralled by the video and the message. The keynote, Michael…

Hello Processing!

I’ve been struggling with keeping up with my blog posts, not because I haven’t been working on my project, more so with having to write about the process and experience after the fact. Regardless, here I am — better late than never is what I always say! My last post was about the Hackathon that…

Feed Me Feed-ly

I’ve chosen to explore the wonderful world of Feedly (although so far, I am really not a fan). I have been fooling around on the site and app for the past week, and have found it somewhat difficult to navigate. I don’t know if my frustration is with the site/app itself, or from learning to…

Bro Code

Throughout my adolescent years and into early adulthood, I have learned French, learned how to play the flute and guitar, how to juggle, how to run 5ks, how to knit, even how to ride a unicycle! Because of this, I’ve been struggling to choose a new topic of focus for my EDTC Learning Project, but…

Fight the Dread and Pretend You’re Excited

Those of you who know me, know that I have a strong dislike for technology; for those of you who do not know me, know that I have a strong dislike for technology.  Even writing this post, I’ve accidentally escaped the webpage before the draft saved, losing alllll of my introductory work. Anyway, here I…
