Photoessay



            You are probably wondering why I have three animals in my photo essay. The dog pic is my gentle giant, Sam; he passed away on May 16, 2024, and was the best dog ever. I miss him terribly! In the meantime, I have been caring for the calico cat named Kookie. She is my work cat. She has been hanging around at work for a while now.

She had a litter of kittens almost a month ago. However, she has grown attached to me. She comes to the door or the window and sits there until I go and feed her. I say she now stays at the window or door just to watch over me. I feel as though with Sam’s passing, she was given to me as a work pet…l.lol! Then we have the big black cat, this is a daddy cat. He is the dad of the litter to Kookie’s kittens. So I added him because he is a part of the family at work.

This is the first time I have used Flickr, and I was nervous at first, but then I thought about what to do. Then the challenge came, so I started with this and saw how it went. So far, so good. Hooray, for the first time, let’s see where this takes me. How does everyone else feel about the platform?

    Hey, there, Blessed! I love your photo essay; great job! I'm so sorry to hear you lost Sam recently. I lost my dog, Buster, a little over a year ago. Hopefully Kookie can bring you some comfort in this difficult time. I'm just an email or comment away if you need someone to talk to.

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)

Image
  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.
