Twitter Days of the Week!

 #SumItUpSunday

This week was the only time in my entire life I have logged into Twitter every single day consecutively. I started this class out being anxious about Twitter, not knowing how to navigate it, and not seeing the full purpose of it, but wow this week's engagingly forced me to get involved in my own and other folk’s Twitter posts. It was interesting to participate in this challenge as I was able to connect my life with my online life in a meaningful and intentional way. Truly, isn’t that what the digital social media space is all about? I hope to continue getting more comfortable with Twitter and am excited to grow and expand my network of higher education scholars, friends, and peers! Check out my posts for the Twitter Days of the Week below:

Travel and Social Media

-
This past week, I have been out of town and found myself reflecting on travel and social media. While I have really enjoyed decompressing and disconnecting, I had this unnerving feeling that travel leads to an expectation of social media usage. This, I am sure, is at least partially self-imposed, but in a social world, boasting about travel almost feels necessary.  One space that especially urges posts is conference travel. I really enjoy attending conferences and experiencing the learning opportunities that come with it. In addition, it is such a gift to see friends and colleagues at these conferences. This travel comes with pictures on my social media often as I use it to capture these memories and am so grateful for the platform to do so. After the conference, I then shift to thinking about how I can concisely express my experience at this conference to my peers through a LinkedIn post. I see my friends and peers posting their posts and gear up to post my own and it almost feels...

Howdy and Hello!

  Hi! My name is Ravi and I am so excited to share a few thoughts throughout the summer with y’all via my first-ever blog! I have really enjoyed writing so far about a few topics surrounding class and my life so far and am excited to continue. Dr. Axel Bruns highlights the fluidity that comes with us as produsers, specifically knowing when to take a step forward and a step back based on our expertise and experience (2008). Everywhere we look we see social media, it has become such a part of the framework of our lives, and I am so excited to use this framework to build conducive learning environments for students, myself included. I am also nervous as this feels very deductive of my own experience with technology, which has had ebbs and flows in itself. For example, the pain I felt from losing Vine was very real and yet feels so far away now but we move forward no matter how hard. Let’s get this started, 2.0! Bruns, A. (2008).  The future is user-led: The path towards widespre...

Digital Community!

“ When I was little, I could never keep my shoes tied, and people loved to make fun of that. But then I got Velcro shoes, and they made fun of that, too. But here's what I learned about failure... It sucks and I don't want my kids to feel it. Time to get them some Velcro shoes. ” - Janine Teagues (Brunson et al., 2021)      Janine Teagues is one of my favorite characters in any television series I have ever seen, and I have seen my fair share of them. People often ask what someone’s “comfort show is” and honestly Abbott Elementary continues to be mine. Through its resilience and kindness, it takes viewers on a journey that makes them feel like they are just as much a part of the school as any of them. So why am I rambling on about Abbott Elementary while quoting Janine in this course? Blogging, engaging with each other, and participating in several different digital locations has made this course feel as comfortable as this show. Digital courses are tough especially if ...
