Linzi's EDC blog

This course has been intense in regards to reading. The core readings themselves unfortunately don’t make much sense due to my lack of  experience and background in technology. I have purchased many books and read whenever I can. I read at home, on the road at work and even in the bath. I use technology in multifarious ways to help retain information and key points. I read aloud, I use apps that read articles while on the move, I take screenshots of specific paragraphs which are then put in to folders. The link attached made me consider the amount of time I waste acknowledging notifications, e-mails, calls and office chat. In a world where I feel the need to be accessible to others I can become easily distracted. Over the last two weeks, I have switched off my computer or phone and locked myself in a room for a period of time where I am fully focused and my brain is ‘Switched on’.

@anne_churchland @Eli_App_D and I do this whenever I have room on my timetable. ❤

@Eli_App_D Batman didn't have powers though he only had courage and cool gadgets. That was made possible because of 💰 and Alfred.

Today, I tried to help Eli by sending my screenshots – I have so many. She was polite at telling me they were in NO WAY useful to her. It was a classic case of ‘what works for one may not work for another’.

Below is an image of the collection of screenshots that created spam in her inbox. Although Zamzam was a useful tool to pass on…..

@Eli_App_D @ClareThomsonQUB nope 👎🏻, no group work, no discussions and it's always a quiz. The content is very interesting though #mscedc
