Time Strategies

Image
I found this very useful and informative as I have always struggled with time management I either get things done last minute or really early there is no in between. I already am planning to try change that this year and use my time more wisely. I find staying in college to do the work rather than go home and do it makes a huge difference for me. The first post I read was  THE MYTH OF "TOO BUSY" by Tim Grahl  they talked about how we are never too busy but it is down to poor time management and not prioritising our time. He tries to change our view and tells you to cut out certain time wasters. He then gives steps into how you can change how you prioritise time. The second I read was  3 STEPS TO RECAPTURE TIME BY @JOYNICOLEM   I did not like how this one was such a big change for someone to implement into their life. I am a person of habit and routine so it takes a lot for me to change it Source

Technology Tools

The blogging is easy and enjoyable. But I would like to really develop the look of my blog. So I am looking forward to using the programs to create your own graphics. The other tools I have used before and have a decent knowledge but I am always happy to refresh things and hopefully learn a thing or two about them that I did not know about.

Class Assignments

The assignments I most look forward to doing are the tech tasks, Wikipedia trails, unity and the projects. The reasoning I prefer these is that I am a very technical person who enjoys most things computer related. But what I do not look forward to is the blog posts as I absolutely dread writing. It is one of my least confident and most lacking skills and has been since secondary school. I do prefer how we have to write blog posts rather than a daunting long paper to write up. It makes the flow of writing better and I think it will slowly help to build up my confidence in my writing skills and improve them overall. I like how extra credit is included and its a regular thing as this is the first module that it has been a thing which I think is beneficial for learning and students who need to catch up. The Wikipedia trails I have kind of done before as there is a web game that starts you on a random wiki page and you must reach a given page with the least amount of clicks. Me writing a

Workshop 01

Topic? This topic is completely new to me. I have tried to do my own try at coding mobile games years ago. But I never really got to get in depth as it was a lot for me to try teach myself at the time. But the workshop was something I found interesting but I felt it was not explained as I struggled to realise what exactly i was supposed to do. But it was a good way to learn about how to think about projects Delivery? The delivery I felt was a little  confusing but the fact we were working in groups helped with this exercise and also gave more insight into it. I found that once we got it that it was kind of repetitive. If it was on another subject like multiple samples it would have kept my interest a little more. I really enjoy working in groups but I also feel like it could be a downfall as we ended up talking off topic a little. The interactivity is really good though I find that it makes me remember things better and it makes the time go by quicker rather than listening and sitt

My Favourite Game

My favourite game is Counter Strike: Global Offence. csgo logo I like the learning curve on the game as its not just a standard first person shooter. There is good graphics but they're not too heavy on your machine. the graphics in csgo Its a very team based and reliant on random players you are matched with.
