In re-reading my first blog post, I\u2019m happy to discover that I\u2019ve been successful for the most part, in meeting my own expectations. As expected, I gained a foundational understanding of social psychology and I\u2019m just a bit more tech-savvy. I remember writing that first blog entry and thinking surely I would be an ePortfolio expert by the end of the course. In reality, I grossly misjudged my ability to learn WordPress quickly. Even with tutors, there is sometimes a generational difference in communicating technical assistance in a way that I understand. Being that digital tools like WordPress are necessary these days, I\u2019m thankful to have increased my knowledge in this area, even if I\u2019m far from having mastered it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ways in which my attitude about social psychology has changed, are as follows: I\u2019m more interested in the field and I\u2019ve gotten confirmation that I\u2019d like to learn much more about social psychology. If I took this course over, the only thing I\u2019d do differently is to be at least somewhat proficient at WordPress so that it wouldn\u2019t interfere with my learning of actual social psychology content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over this summer semester, my academic progress and growth has been due to a few mistakes that I made. Accidently enrolling in two, six-week courses along with this course which required much more tech-know-how than I possessed, found me really overwhelmed and just hanging on. Although the content of the courses I took this semester (Abnormal Psyc, Intro to Criminal Justice and Social Psyc) were fascinating to me, the ways in which I academically grew ended up being more about general perseverance and determination rather that purely academic. I was forced to let go of my perfectionism in order to simply get work submitted, and even still, I missed many submissions \u2013 which makes me cringe. This semester also taught me the importance of paying better attention when picking my courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know that learning how to create digital portfolios like this one will be 100% applicable to my professional life and I look forward to mastering and using this skill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose this image because it conveys the neverending curiosity conducive to lifelong learning. I’m inspired and energized by the idea of all I have yet to learn in this life. Applying this image to my academic journey, which is consequently for me also an education in our current digital world and how to be functional in it, is comical because I’ve felt a little bit “lost in space” with all that I don’t know. My goal is to keep my learning process as light-hearted as possible and to always find the funny, no matter the challenge. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
