Contribution to my Learning Summer 2022

This summer semester snuck up on me and surprised me being that Spring classes had just ended. I honestly thought that I was free as a bird and I would be enrolled during the Fall term but that was not the case. I was enrolled in class, had started right away, and plus I had no money for class, but I pushed forward. I soon realized that this was a degree that I wanted to get, and I had to do what I needed to do. I picked my head up, dropped one class, got on a plan, and got it done. I am so glad I was able to be a part of course 5315 because it’s the last course I got to have with half of my colleagues I started this program with because they are graduating this semester. For this semester I had to hit the ground running with buying books and supplies needed for the course and jumped on my modules right away.

This summer my community learning group included James, Monika, Maria, and Myself. This course was bittersweet because these 3 are leaving me and graduating so I wanted to soak up as much information as a could before they left. We didn’t meet as much like we have done in the past through zoom and google but honestly I was ok with that because life has been busy and it's so simple just to send a text rather than an email plus everything gets to you right away through text so that was our main source of communication ohhhh but when we did meet through zoom around 6pm we would meet for over an hour and trust me it was on and popping all questions asked via test was answered along with other areas, we felt we were having trouble with, eportfolio were shared so we could look over and see what needed to be fixed and fix them. This semester was basically tying everything together and seeing how it all worked. Looking back when our group was first formed, we didn’t know anything, but we worked together to make it work for us. Fast-forward till now things just roll off our tongues, we are more knowledgeable about digital learning and how everything fits together honestly, we have grown. I am so glad I was given the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing group of individuals. During these last 8 weeks I was able to assist my team by giving honest feedback and feedback towards their portfolio. Keeping up with our meetings and notes, adding them to our google reference page that all team members have access to.

I really enjoyed course 5315 this semester. It went by so smoothly, everything was so straight forward, and I am very appreciative for being able to take this course with some amazing individuals who were very helpful throughout the entire semester which made the class even more exciting to learn more.

Overall, this semester I am once again so proud of myself and I grade myself for courses 5315 and 90. Even though all components were met I still ran into a few hiccups where I didn’t put my references in alphabetical order, nor did I have something in the APA format making simple mistakes. I was so upset at myself but after receiving feedback from Dr. I was able to perk up and correct what was wrong right away by submitting the errors and making corrections. At this point no I shouldn’t be making these kinds of errors, I did and most importantly I took the feedback and fixed the issue right away. Even though I know once grades are submitted that’s that I still took it upon myself to make sure I did what I needed to do while keeping in mind that there’s always room for improvement, change and growth and that’s what I intend to keep doing putting my best foot forward, taking feedback and keeping the faith through the rest of the process. As Dr. He said in the introduction video “Just trust the process' ' and I definitely will.
