Hi everyone and welcome back for another week of my blog. You can find me on twitter @barlottn This will be my last blog of the semester. I may resume my blog in the future but for now lets just day this will be my last blog. This semester really seemed to fly by. For some reason it seemed to of faster than my first semester at Stockton. All in all it was definitely a successful semester. I had my struggles during my first semester but I have definitely grown up a lot and become more professional since then. I have learned to manage my time better and to give my very best on all my work. Some of my classes have been introducing me to the professional world. When I first signed up for Exploring Your Digital Toolbox I didn't really understand what I was getting myself into. I figured it had something to do with technology but I didn't know exactly what it meant. After taking this class I'm definitely glad I took the chance on this class.
This semester I learned a lot of new things in a short amount of time. I had been on Twitter for some time but I learned that Twitter can be used as a PLN or a personal learning network. My previous experiences with Twitter had been with my personal account which I used to communicate with friends and stay current with all the breaking news. I never thought of it as a way to network myself or to use it in a professional way. I learned that Twitter is a great way to network myself and it could even lead to a future job or professional relationships. I also learned about linkedin which is a great app that helps you make professional connections. I have already made a few connections on linkedin and its something that I will use more in the future when I look for a career. Haiku Deck is another tool I will use in the future when creating presentations. You can check out my previous blogs for my Social Media Project that I created about Larry Johnson. And last but not least I used Weebly to create a professional website. This was an awesome experience. Creating a website brought back memories for me dating all the way back to high school when I took a web design class. Web Design was one of my favorite classes in high school so I was pretty excited to hear that our final project was to create a website. Feel free to check out my website and let me know what you think. Any type of feedback is greatly appreciated: professional website link
Overall I really enjoyed this class and I will miss it. This class has added a lot of great tools to my tool belt that I will continue to use. This class also helped me develop myself in a professional way and taught me how to use Twitter the right way and to not abuse it which could hurt me when I try to get a job. Thank you professor Calderwood and I would recommend your class to anyone at Stockton University.
