Time Management I learnt about time management for this blog. I read a few articles about time management. The first one I read was  4 Questions to Help You Overcome Procrastination  by Peter Banerjea. This was my favourite read because I sometimes feel like I procrastinate a lot when it comes to my college work. This article helped me learn about ways to overcome procrastinating things. I liked the question asked that was "what will go wrong if I don't do it now?", I liked this question because it makes you think about why you shouldn't do it now to try stop you from leaving things for another times.  The other article I read was  3 Steps to Recapture Time  by Joynicole Martinez. It's basically helping you to put off leaving everything for other days. Overall, the articles helped me learn about how to prevent procrastinating and how to manage my time much more. My main time management strategy for this semester is to stick to my management schedule and try...

Technology Tools I learned about the different types of technology tools that I will be using throughout the semester. The tools include Blogging, Bookmarking, Image Editing and Graphics Creation. After reading about the type of tools, I am looking forward to learn more about computers, because I'm very interested in computers and enjoy learning more about them. I'm familiar with bookmarking and image editing, and I'm now getting more and more familiar with it the more I do it. I'm enjoy blogging a lot and can't wait for people to read mine and also for me to read theirs. I enjoy this type of online environment because you can do your work as quick as you want and can really get ahead of the work. I'm looking forward to learning more about graphic creations and image editing.  A image of photoshop on a laptop. Image Source: https://pixabay.com/photos/image-editing-photoshop-2707653/

Assignments My first impression on the extra credit assignments were that some stuck out to me a lot. One that stood out to me was the 'Growth Mindset' one. After learning a good bit about growth mindset during the week, I am really interested to see what else I can learn about it.Also the ''Tech Tasks' stood out to me. I really liked the sounds of learning more web-based technology. This is unlike anything we've done in other modules. The fact that you could have missed work but you can use extra credit to make up for it is very good, because normally if you miss your in other modules , theres normally no way you can make up for it, so I really like the extra credit that we're able to gain. Also, you can also use extra credits to get ahead and finish work earlier which is a benefit if some want to get the work out of the way. A meme of a cat being 'amused' by extra credit.

Growth Mindset Today I learned about a female called 'Carol Dweck'. I've never heard of her before today, but I am glad I have heard of her now. I listened to her TED Talk on growth mindset. I've never really thought into growth mindset before. After looking into it more in detail, I have realised that I also tend to avoid difficult situations or problems that I feel like I wouldn't be able to achieve without even challenging them. I don't normally enjoy listening to TED Talks because I tend to get bored of what the speaker is talking about but for a change I really enjoyed listening to Carol talk about growth mindset. She put things into a different perspective than I've ever thought about myself. Personally, after listening and learning more about growth mindset, the more I realised I seem to be pushed into the fixed mindset more than the growth mindset. I realised that if I was faced with a challenge that was even a tiny bit out of my comfort zon...

Who Is Aaron Hogan? My name is Aaron Hogan. I was born on the 1st of March,2000, which makes me 19 years old. I live in Clonsilla in Dublin 15. I went to primary school in St.Mochtas and went to secondary school in Castleknock Community College. I am currently in ITB in Blanchardstown studying Creative Digital Media, I am in year 2. I really enjoy the course and have found out new skills that i never thought I'd be able to do. First year was enjoyable and I made a good few new friends. My favourite module was Web Development as I found it interesting how much stuff goes on behind closed doors to make a website, and i also loved the feeling when you created your own website. Over the summer, I went to Portugal with my group of friends. It was the best holiday ever! Nothing better than being in the sun with your mates having a laugh and a few drinks around the pool.  I also went to a few festivals. The first one I went to was Longitude in Marley Park. I thought it was so goo...

WORKSHOP 01 In the Workshop, We started off by writing down on paper on what worked well for us last year. I felt like my final product was always good and took me a lot of time and effort. The only thing I wish I had done is started my assignments as early as i can because I tend to put off some of my work til a few days after we could have started, but I still feel happy about my final work.  We then had to share our answers to the person next to us , I thought this was beneficial because I got to see if someone else had the same thought about themselves as i did about last year. The person also felt like they would leave things a bit late. We then got into group of 4s and compared our own personal thoughts on last year. I think everyone said that they left projects/assignments a little late for some modules but all were happy about their end product. I enjoyed working in groups. I enjoyed it because I got to see what people in my class felt like worked for them the best and...

Fifa An image of a Fifa cover used for the 2019 edition of the game. Image Source: https://www.flickr.com/photos/158561476@N06/43815728732 My favourite game is Fifa. Fifa is a game which comes on every console. It is a game based on football. It allows people to play online/offline as any football team in the world. Players can play against the computer or against their friends.  It is my favourite game as it was the very first game I got with my first console,Playstation 2, although I wasn't good back then and i would get very annoyed while playing the game but now i'm good at the game but still find ways to get annoyed at it. Fifa is just a great game to me because i'm a huge football fan so I can really relate to the game while I am playing it. I get to play against my friends online and in person , and I'll tell you something , their is no better feeling than scoring a 90th minute goal against your friend. I've had the game since Fifa 09, wh...
