Module 2 Blog Post

Throughout this summer I am both interning, managing a dance team, interviewing for full time positions and taking a few online courses to further my learning, my degree, and my career. A big focus of this unit was understanding my strengths and weaknesses in terms of getting things done in a timely manner which includes goal setting, prioritization, and other time management skills. When I sat down and drafted my goals, much of it came down to communicating with people across the country in order to get information and send information about the tasks at hand. The digital literacy and online communication lectures came in handy as I worked to set up cloud based work folders to keep track of all the information that needs to flow between my dance team and between me and my recruiters, and well as for this class. The goal of setting this up was to not lose information or forget information between messages and emails that go back and forth between the people I interact with frequently. In my dance team’s folder, I have about 10 executive members collaborating on different aspects of the show so I went ahead and created a cloud based to-do list for each member through google spreadsheets, an idea I got inspired from one of our lesson videos. That way instead of through text or email we can assign tasks to one another and even set a deadline and priority to those tasks in order to maintain a record of what is being done and also understand how to best utilize our time.
