EDCI 337 – Hello!

My name is Katrina and I am excited to be apart of this class. I am currently in an assistant teaching position at my full time work, and this course seemed like a perfect fit to learn multimedia learning skills. Although my classroom is not the typical one, on the rare snow day in Victoria, it would be nice to have more skills to teach in an online setting. The featured image in this post is my day to day classroom to give you an idea!

Below are the Learning Pod Self Reflection Questions

What is your preferred mode of remote communication?

Email or Whatsapp. Happy to use facebook messenger for group projects as well.

What are your communication strengths?

Attempting to be clear and concise, especially in an online setting.

What are your communication weaknesses? Where would you like to grow?

I struggle to communicate on online platforms. I prefer in person communication, hence why I took this course to learn how to effectively communicate in an online setting. I find my zoom etiquette needs improvement as I find I accidentally cut people off.

Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert?

Introvert.

What time zone are you in?

Pacific standard time

What time of day do you prefer doing academic work?

I work full time, they can be long hours, I work Tuesday and Thursday nights as well, so Monday and Wednesday afternoon/ evenings are best for me for academic work.

When you are upset do you tend to share this with others or keep it to yourself?

Keep to myself.

What do you like about group work?

It’s realistic to the real world of work and life.

What don’t you like about group work?

I find in an academic setting it can be frustrating to meet up with everyone’s schedules, which is not necessarily realistic to every day work. Usually people work similar hours to ease this problem. I am worried my schedule will make these meet up times frustrating for everyone in my group.

What else would you like your team to know?

I will try my best to be available when I can for my group. I apologize in advance for the limited time I have available to be on a screen for these group meet up times. By finding a platform that can work well for everyone to communicate on, I think that will really help myself with being available for my group!
