Badges...


 Rewarding those who take on challenges with badges is a terrific idea. I began my path towards badges when I was a Brownie. From Brownies to Cadets was my path with Girl Scouts. I've gained a lot of wealth over the years, and we had fun on our excursions. While badges are an incredible perk, the real purpose of the experience was the community, connections, and rewards that came with it. The badges were the cherry on top. What is the opinion of others regarding obtaining badges, either from this course or from participation in any other group that grants badges for completing tasks?

    I like the idea of badges! I never got to be a Girl Scout or a Brownie, so maybe I'm making up for lost time! I don't think I'll take advantage of every single opportunity, but I will definitely try to do at least one each week.

    When I see someone with a lot of "flair" or many badges, I think they have put in a lot of hard work, effort, and likely are an expert in the areas in which they obtained their badges. Badges can be somewhat of a status symbol.

Learning and Enjoyment

There are a lot of facets in the realm of social media. My experience has taught me that I can teach or learn about social media use. I've had to share input from previous educational experiences about things I've learned or want to learn. I currently use Instagram, for instance, to de-stress from the outside world. I like scrolling through adorable pet photos and watching videos. I don't post anything on Instagram; I use it to unwind and take in other people's content. Social media can be utilized for several purposes, including informational purposes, amusement, product sales, and spiritual uplift. Which I may say I find enjoyable. As I've previously stated, social media may be utilized for education. Using social media sites like YouTube and Instagram has taught me a lot. Two examples are trying a new recipe or learning to utilize software I'm unfamiliar with.

Week 1 Reflection

  I have learned much more than I thought I knew about Web 2.0. This week has been an eye-opener, showing me that I need so much more and would like to learn more.  As a school counselor student, social media or Web 2.0 can help enhance the knowledge and guidance I provide. I do not know everything about social media and have been reluctant to get involved in many of it for personal reasons. However, knowing there are safety nets, and I can just explore and improve my learning, I am willing to try.  I have been accustomed to using Instagram for entertainment and YouTube for learning and relaxation. A while back, I set up a Facebook account to stay connected with church members, but I needed to set myself away from it just for my mental health. However, having communities and networking opportunities is a way to stay connected and learn from one another.

My Thoughts on Blogging ( 5/21/24)

  I've completed my first week of blogging. I never would have thought to try something like that in this class. But the first week went well, and things will improve over time. It is a fun approach to learning about other people's perspectives on various issues. I've enjoyed expressing my views on many subjects and watching how it all turns out, and so far, I'm happy with the outcome. Blogging can serve as a tool for both teaching and learning, depending on the user and the content being shared. Additionally, blogs can be used for amusement. I finished my research on blogs and why people use them last week. Seeing how others felt and the reasons behind their blog choices was fascinating.
