Social Media Etiquette Case Study: Screenshotting Private Content Without Permission

-
Image
  Screenshotting Private Content Without Permission Social media etiquette basically means using social platforms in a respectful, responsible, and thoughtful way. It’s about understanding that what you share and how you interact online affects real people. It includes respecting privacy, thinking before posting or reposting something, and being aware of how your digital actions can impact someone’s personal or professional life. Case Example: Screenshotting a Private Instagram Story For my case study, I’m analyzing a situation where someone’s private content was shared without their permission. A college student named Mia posted a funny, slightly embarrassing photo to her Instagram Close Friends story. It was meant only for a small group. One of her “friends” named Ethan screenshotted it and sent it to a group chat with people she didn’t select. Eventually, someone reposted it publicly on Twitter/X. Even though Mia didn’t post anything inappropriate, she felt embarrassed and...

Good/Bad Website Smackdown (vanna kelly)

 Good/Bad Website Smackdown  Netflix vs Crackle     For my Smackdown project, I decided to compare two streaming websites: Netflix and Crackle . Netflix is super clean and easy to use — everything is laid out clearly, it’s easy to find shows or movies, and the thumbnails look aesthetically pleasing. Crackle, on the other hand, is kind of a mess. There are tons of ads and random promotions all over the homepage, and it’s hard to figure out where to click to get to the content you actually want. It’s a good example of how design really affects how people use a website.         Looking at these sites made me realize how important layout and navigation are, even for things we just use for fun. Netflix is a good example of a site that’s easy to get around and actually enjoyable to use, which is something you could analyze in a class about web design or marketing. Crackle is the opposite — too much clutter, confusing menus — so it’s a good ...

Technology Blog #3: Chapter 3 – How Connected Learning Relates to Nursing

-
Image
  Chapter Summary Chapter 3 of Developing a Connected Learning Module by Lee S. Shulman talks about how professional knowledge is not just facts, it is about connecting what you know to real-world situations. Professionals use content, context, and judgment to apply knowledge in practice. In healthcare, this means nurses do not just memorize procedures; they use what they know while adapting to patients and situations, making quick decisions when needed. Connection to My Nursing Career As someone studying Health Science and planning to go into nursing, this chapter really connects to my career. Nursing is not just about knowing anatomy or procedures, it is about applying that knowledge in the moment. For example, when using patient-monitoring software, telehealth tools, or wearable devices , nurses must combine what they know with judgment and context. Shulman’s concept of connected learning describes exactly what nurses do: they use knowledge, adapt to real situations, and mak...

Web Smackdown: Google Docs

Web Smackdown App: Google Docs      G oogle Docs is basically a free, online word processor that makes creating and editing documents super easy. One of the best parts is that it automatically saves everything to Google Drive, so you don’t have to stress about losing your work. It is also great for collaboration because multiple people can work on the same document at the same time, which is perfect for group projects. Since it works on pretty much any device with internet, you can pull it up on your laptop, tablet, or phone, making it super convenient for students and professionals alike.      As a student, Google Docs is a lifesaver. It makes group work so much easier because everyone can add to the same document without emailing a million different versions back and forth. You can also use it for taking notes, drafting essays, and formatting papers with built-in templates. I personally like that you can leave comments or suggestions and even use voice t...

Digital Storytelling Assignment (vanna kelly)

My Digital Stories: A Day in My Life & How I Manage My Workload For this digital storytelling project, I created two short comic strips using StoryboardThat. The first one is called “A Day in the Life of a Student,” and it shows what a typical day looks like for me as a Health Science student — from getting ready in the morning to studying and trying to stay motivated throughout the day. The second story, “How I Manage My Workload,” focuses on how I balance my responsibilities and stay calm when things start to feel overwhelming. In this one, I used a girl cleaning her house as the main character because it represents how organizing and taking small steps helps me feel more in control when life gets hectic. #1 Day in the Life of a Student:                     #2  How I manage My workload  Creating these stories helped me think about how I handle stress and manage my time as a student. It reminded me that staying o...

Blog #3 Chapter 5: Emersons Teachings/Nursing

  Technology Blog #3: Emerson’s Chapter 5 — Finding Self-Reliance in Nursing Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Chapter 5 focuses on the importance of self-trust and inner strength. He encourages readers to rely on their own judgment rather than simply following what others believe. Emerson’s writing serves as a good reminder that true growth comes from within — by learning through our own experiences and believing in our ability to make choices confidently. This message of independence and reflection is something that can be applied in many parts of life, especially in personal development and career growth. In the “Our Stories” section that introduces this chapter, the theme of personal growth through self-understanding stood out to me. Emerson emphasizes that everyone’s path is unique, and that we become stronger by embracing our individuality. In nursing, this mindset is incredibly important. Every nurse faces challenges that require quick decisions, emotional strength, and confidence in...

  Chapter 6- Building A Connected Learning Community and Nursing: Vanna Kelly      In Chapter 6, “Building Your Connected Learning Community,” Ralph Waldo Emerson highlights the importance of learning through connection with others. The reading explains that knowledge is not just gained alone, but also by building relationships and sharing ideas. A connected learning community allows people to grow, exchange perspectives, and support one another. By interacting with others in a learning environment, students gain confidence, new skills, and a stronger sense of p urpose.   As an aspiring nursing student, this chapter connects directly to my future career. Nursing is all about teamwork and communication, both with other healthcare professionals and with patients. Building a connected learning community in school helps prepare me for working in a hospital or clinical setting where collaboration is essential. Nurses rely on each other for advice, encouragement, and...
