Are you a schedule builder or to-do list maker?

 YALL. This article just blew my mind. 

This semester has been a little bit rough in terms of getting everything done that I've wanted to and feeling like I have time for my kids and husband. I've been incredibly distracted and began to think that maybe I was just bad at managing my time. I want to start fresh and really build my schedule to feel confident that I have made time for everything that is important to me! This is something that my husband and I have talked about a million times, and he's a little bit better at naturally setting up his life to plan for the things he really wants to focus on. I've always had a more laissez faire attitude about things just happening if they need to happen. No surprise here - things do not just "get done" without proper planning and I'm tired of running around trying to make it all happen just because it's on my to-do list! Now is the time to make a change. 

Since we are moving into our new house in about a week, I am going to start prepping and building my schedule so that when we get there we can hit the ground running! 

Anyone else relate to this image on the left?! Let's become the one on the right by scheduling our time! :)

    Omgggg. I saw this on your Twitter, and I just... is it too much to say it's LIFE CHANGING. I'm a perpetual list maker, and this was so incredibly interesting to me. Thank you so much for sharing! Can't wait to see how this changes my mindset.

 I decided to mess around with the Miro Concept Map tool and created a simple map of my current responsibilities! I'm not sure how often I'll use something like this, but it was fun to lay it out this way.

Education and Policy around Digital Citizenship

After reading through Digital citizenship education handbook: Being online, well-being online, and rights online,  and considering my own experiences, education, recent current events, and recent conversations, I am left wondering where the US is on addressing digital citizenship. Here are the things floating around in my head this evening... I know that there was recently a Supreme Court case passed about free speech about a cheerleader that used some very explicit language on her Snapchat in regards to her school and cheerleading coach after not making the varsity team and was then suspended and kicked off the JV squad. SCOTUS passed in favor of her ability to speak freely on a social media platform about the school without ramifications.  In a Zoom call earlier today for EME5601, we were talking about whether or not kids had classes in school that were related to privacy and internet safety. Right now the consensus seems to be that there are special assemblies or lectures on this t

Final week + life update

We officially closed on our house about a week and a half ago and I've been living down in Galveston at my parent's beach house since then! It would be an awesome vacation, except it's just me, the kids, and our animals most of the time. So while I've tried to make it fun for the kiddos, I'm also just exhausted from solo parenting + school work during the week while my husband is working his new job in our new city! (Kudos to all of you single moms out there!!!)  I am really grateful to be finishing up the semester this week though so next week can be a relaxing and fun beach week! :) I'm sure everyone is ready for a little break. Anyone else have plans for their break between semesters? What classes are y'all planning to take in the fall semester? I am signed up for EME 5608 (Trends and Issues in Instructional Design) and EME 6357 (Evaluation of Training in HPT). It would be lovely to see some familiar names on the discussion boards!
