Going Digital in the 10th week

This week in class, Christina and Kaylene taught a session on resources. One activity that they did was having us talk to partners about resources that we have used on campus. I frequently talk to the Office of Financial Aid. I also use Debra, Allison, and Silas as resources, and I have them help me locate resources. Another resource I use is the library. Knowing about these resources and what they do will help next fall when I have students come to me with problems that I cannot solve on my own. In addition, Kaylene and Christina had us identify the various buildings and resources on campus and explain their functions. This will also help next fall.

In addition to the lesson, Allison and Silas took our group around the campus to see the various buildings and identify the resources within them. I learned a great deal including the English center in Carver, some knowledge about the Sloss House, and I learned about the biofeedback center in the Counseling service center which I plan to use now. Understanding the exact location of these resources will come in handy when I refer students to them next semester.

For this week, we are working on our digital storytelling project. Currently, we have two scenes out of the three total completed. I have enjoyed working with the rest of the group, and I believe that it has helped us bond. It has also introduced teamwork which will be an important trait for co-leaders to have. Another important thing that this experience has taught me is that your plans may need to be adjusted. I learned this from having to change around actors in scenes and by having to adjust the script.
