Online Learning Strategies and Skills (Module 3)

I have a feeling that this is going to end up being the most helpful module for me. I’m a very big procrastinator, but I feel that it’s a common thing in our generation because of technology. One of the videos in the module (slide 6) talked about the type of procrastinators there are, and I definitely identify with the ones that do work later because they are afraid of failure if they did do the work earlier. I tell myself that my best work comes at the last minute, but that’s not true at all. There were a lot of useful things in this module, but the most helpful thing in my opinion was the “use technology to manage technology” slide. It lists apps that will limit the usage of certain things on phones or computers. This will definitely come in handy for me because the number one reason I don’t get work done is that I have trouble putting my phone down. I’m definitely going to put this into practice next week and see if it actually helps me stay focused. Another thing I’m going to try that was in one of the videos in the module (slide 16) was to set a time limit for assignments. I won’t do it for every assignment because some of them need a lot of time and thought, but for the ones that don’t, I’m going to put it into place. With these things implemented into my daily schoolwork schedule, I feel that I’m going to do a lot better!
