Technology: Tools

My first impressions are that I'm intrigued and some seem to definitely be more reliant on the Internet, I am familiar with some of the tools like blogging as it helps record thoughts and ideas and shares them with others. Bookmarking is another one I'm familiar with and uses the Internet as well and saves sites with relevant info. Images editing is also something I'm familiar too, while I use photoshop which is more complex, basic image editing is rather common, especially one phones as well. Graphics creation is another that's reliant on the Internet and seems to be common to create text on an image. While I have heard of Unity 3D, I am not exactly 100% familiar with the what goes into it. When looking at all this, it seems like a somewhat familiar environment, especially sharing online work, image editing but more complex, like photoshop and graphics creation, Though things like Unity 3D, is something I am not exactly versed with really. There are some technical

Time Strategies

When reading the articles and thinking about time management strategies, I feel it could help benefit college work and everyday life. Planning out and setting time for certain things can make sure that all necessary work, chores or tasks are done but also can help get into a structure so that you can allocate time to work but also downtime and other important aspects too. Making sure you are stress-free, healthy and helps with work too. The two articles I read were: "Realistic Study plans" by Amanda Collins "11 Ways Unsuccessful People Mismanages Thier TIme" by Aine Cain. After reading these articles, I found them rather informative and useful. They helped point out common mistakes and helped offer solutions and answers for the issues. I definitely feel I could be referring to these articles in the future, especially when I get more assignments and the workload increases. From looking back at last semester, I feel the biggest time challenges will be traveli

Growth Mindset

For this blog, i had to do some reaerch on "Growth Mindset" and Carol Dweck, who talks about this particular subject. Prior to this, Ive never heard of Carol Dweck nor the topic of Growth Mindset. This blog post is all about Growth Mindset. If i was to look at my college work on the spectrum of growth fixed mindset, I feel like Im doing well enough in my own skill set but I do feel like i need improving really. What i have noticed with my learning is that i need to be explianed the point very cleary and need to really understand the in's and out's of a certain topic. I also need to see expamples or see such thing in practice to undertsand it better too. In short, I need to go through the topic to really grasp it and need to see examples and go through how its done.  My biggest challenges is trying to get the hang of new things, adjust to how different new learning can be, espcailly when its in a different environment and done differently too. I think might som

Introduction by Nate

Hello, I'm Nathan, a second-year student at ITB. I'm 20 years old and from Cavan. This blog post is about me and hobbies, aspirations etc. If you're reading this, then I'm surprised you want to go through such torture. First of all, I really enjoyed CDM year 1. It was a great experience and felt it was fun and got to meet great people and do interesting things. I still can't get over the fact I'm in college or I even made it to the second year. Thought I would've had a mental breakdown at this point When doing the semester last year, I really enjoyed Storytelling and narrative. I find it fascinating to sit down and talk about films, I'm a bit of a movie buff so I did enjoy breaking them down and even tell a story or two. Honestly my biggest accomplishment last semester was actually getting through to second year and hell, even surviving it knowing me. My goals for this module is to plan out and hopefully make a small film for our group project as its

Intro to Digital Media Workshop 01

Topic: The topic of Digital Media is something I have been kind of familiar with in the past. I know and read about certain aspects about it and learned different things that relate to it. Also the topics about the time management and charting out a process is something I knew of but didn't learn. Delivery: I actually liked the delivery method, I felt it was interesting talking to others and getting their opinions and perspectives but also learning to work together and try and compromise and all work together to come to an answer, like in many group projects and work places. Reflection: On reflection, i think its good to write up about the experience I had, it helps me be more critical and see where i can improve or do more but also helps me improve my writing skills amongst other things as well.
