Time Strategies

 Articles I read: 

1. The Important Habit of Just Starting

1. How to Beat Procrastination

In these articles I read helped me with ways to stop procrastinating and start doing actual work on time even if it was hard. I actually started making to-do list everyday so I can check whatever I've done in my checklist and by that I feel organized and everything is clear to me. This way is really beneficial because it helps with keeping up with the work and everything you have to do this day without procrastinating. One thing I learnt from the articles I read is that saying to people that I'm finishing the work today then I'll be motivated to finish the work even if I feel that I don't have time I will still try to get it done, also what keeps you motivated to do work is thinking about your future and how you should do your work on time even if it's too much but you'll get what you want eventually by putting effort in what you do.

Time Management

Technology

My first impression about this module was confusing. At first, I didn't know how this is going to work because this kind of tasks is new to me and also making them in another website is different than doing them on Moodle as we were used to, but then when I started doing the tasks I understood how everything works and what I'm going to be creating at the end of the semester. I wasn't familiar with every tool that was mentioned in this task but some I already knew what they were like the Google Docs, Canvas, and of course Pinterest. I think this online environment created for this module is a great start and a new challenge that will make us learn more about new things that will definitely benefit us in the future. I can't think of any technical tool that I would like to try but I'm looking forward to get to use tools and learn more about them.

Tech Tip

 Hello!

I added the twitter side-bar widget in my blog, feel free to check it out. This widget is a very easy way to navigate in the blog rather than being squished between the other posts and no one will really see your account. By creating a widget for Twitter or any other account, It's easier for the users to know everything on your website and go through it all. Please check out my account, I'll be adding useful stuff and links to help in this module and also I'll be engaging with memes.

Assignments

 Assignments Blog Task

After knowing and reading what the assignments will be about and how to do it, I thought of what thing might interest me and what I might want to do each week from the extra credit assignment. I was most intrigued by the Tech Tasks since I love editing and put my own creativity in creating accounts and blogs and creating memes seems fun so I'm excited about this extra credit assignment. Commenting on other's blog posts is fun too because by that I get to know more about people and engage with everyone. In my opinion, this type of assignments and tasks make me want to explore more and learn new things that I've never known about before by watching videos and doing extra credit challenges and tasks.

Growth Mindset

 Part 2: 

Title: What Science knows about Learning with Passion

In this growth mindset video I chose from the challenges, I learnt new things I've never known about before. I knew that excitement makes us wanna learn and experience new things. I never knew that when we are excited like planning for a trip with our friends can make our brain release dopamine and endorphin that make us happy for a long time because it will become a memory that we can never forget. I also never knew that temporary excitement like shopping can decrease dopamine level and make us want to do more shopping. I want to learn more about how our mind works with excitement and happiness; moreover, what things we can do to make us learn more and explore. I am going to search about this more and watch videos that can make me understand the growth mind set to learn more and challenge myself.

Excitement to Learn

Part 3:

In this assignment, it was my first time to hear about Carol Dweck and the growth mindset before. I learnt about it after watching the videos that were provided for us and by researching about it. I see myself as a person who wants to learn more and do challenging tasks to grow my skills by learning from my mistakes and improve my work over the year. As a person, who hates cooking and not so good in kitchen, I want to search  recipes and watch videos of famous chefs by following their ingredients and try to make my own food that can be delicious in my own style and way. I think I'll be learning more and more about the growth mindset this semester since it is very useful to and beneficial that you learn new stuff and be more educated in what you love to do. Growth mindset will honestly help me with this years modules especially the group project (phase 1 ) module because I feel like it is the most stressful and challenging module this semester since it is a 10 credit module. The module I'm excited about is Website Design 1 because we'll be creating websites and one of them will be selected for the organization.

Test Post

Hello Everyone

Welcome to my blog!

Introduction to the Future Exquisite Creator

Hi, I'm Hanin. I'm 18 years old. This is me talking about myself and what interests me in life, so hope it's intriguing and not boring.

About CDM:

Image production was my favorite class last semester because I've always wanted to know how I can use Photoshop to edit images and play with them by adding anything I want to change them completely and make them seem real. Creating a website felt like it was my biggest accomplishment I did last semester because I worked on creating it for a long time and I struggled a lot but the result was very satisfying and I loved it. My goal for this module is to learn stuff about visuals and audio that I've never heard of, be creative as much as I can to create a unique project of mine that can amaze everyone.

Summer Vacay:

Over the break, I went back to Egypt, which is where I was born. I enjoyed my time a lot with family and friends traveling and going to places in Egypt I've never visited before; felt like a tourist in my own country :D

Nile River

Pyramids

Favorites:

I'm not the kind of person who reads a lot, but I watch movies and series. My favorite TV show is probably grey's anatomy because I love watching surgeries and how surgeons perform them on patients; my favorite movie is definitely Spider-Man Far from Home. I listen to every kind of music nothing in specific. If I like the beat of the music, then I listen to it on repeat, but here is my favorite song: (See You Again). I plan in my future to build my own career and business from scratch and be known by my skills in filming, editing, and creating websites and ads for any business organization. I don't have pets, but I really love cats, they're cute and tiny; however, not loyal as dogs. Here's the blog post about my favorite game I play in my free time: (Favorite Game Blog Post) I hate spinach, I feel like I be eating leaves and beans; however, with no doubt I can eat fish and sushi everyday. Unfortunately, I don't really cook that well so there isn't a thing I love cooking from scratch. My hobby is playing squash and creating necklaces and bracelets with beads. A sport I would love to try one day is surfing. If I had an extra day for fun, I would spend it with my best friend pampering ourselves and do skydiving because I love trying new adventures.

Favorite Game

 "Need for Speed"

This game has been my favorite since I started playing games. I used to play it a lot with my friends and family while enjoying our time together. Racing cars are a little bit stressful because you have to win the first place but also fun.
