Maintaining Motivation ESEPSY M7

Hello everyone, welcome to my very last blog post for ESEPSY Online Learning Strategies. I hope everyone is doing well.

I want to focus today on some of the things I took from this module. The main objectivates of this module was to have motivation and trying to eliminate distractions. Staying motivated is really important when working on school wok because, like me and some others, once I start something, I want to finish it then and there. Sometimes that is rather difficult because of the discretions we have around us. The TV, our phones, our brothers and sister, or whatever the case may be, often times keeps us from our work. Now more than ever, since everyone is back home, keeping motivated and free of discretions while doing class work is is hard, but there are things to up us with this dilemma.

There are many apps and websites that are designed to keep people or students focused and distraction free. One of the websites I used was called Tomato Timer. Yes this might just be a timer, but it helped me tremendously keeping on track, motivated, and distraction free. I would just time out my study and work time in separate intervals to help me learn and it worked.

There are many other apps and websites out there to help students with this kind of stuff. Just a quick google search and you’ll be on your way.

Thanks for following along in my journey through this class. Ya’ll be safe and I’ll see you around. 🖖😉

I am here today to talk to you about the foundations in academic writing and citation and bibliographic generators. These online tools that you can uses for any paper you are writing for any subject. I have even already used these tools academic carer.

Every student there has ever been has most likely stayed up late and finished off a major paper for one of their classes. When you finally get done writing the paper, now you need to create in text citations and make a works cited page. How do you do that? Well, I have asked that question one night will finishing a paper. The answer, EasyBib. EasyBib is a website that creates citations in nay format that you need. All you have to do on your part is find basic information about the article such as author, date published, etc. The citation generator has helped my with every paper or report that I have written after that night I discovered it, and I know that it will help you too.

So do not be afraid to write that paper, because I have just given you a tremendous tool to help you. And do not stop there, if there are other things that you need help with, go out and look for it. The internet is filled with all sorts of helpful tools and websites.

Web Enhanced Reading and Study Strategies. ESEPSY 1159 M4

Good evening everyone. I hope everyone is staying safe and working hard on their school work. Just like most everybody says that this is a trying time for people and especially students all across the United States, but this too shall pass in time. I want to today  to explain some of the thing that I thought were useful from module four.

One important thing that stuck out to me was multitasking. Multitasking can be overwhelming for some students, and therefore they start to submit homework and quizzes that lack the need information effort each assignment requires. Most times it is best to stick to one topic, class, or paper at a time. Although there or some students who can handle multitasking and often times that things they are multitasking on pertain to the same class or subject.

I also wanted to talk about how interesting it was in this module to review and research different apps and websites that can be used to help with college work. I look forward to reading some of my peers discussions on this topic. When I was researching different websites, I did not realize that there were that many options for students to use to help with school work. I think that it is important that we as college students utilized the websites and programs of our generation to aid in our college career.

I hope ya’ll enjoyed reading this and look forward to your comments. Until next time  🖖

Efficiency in the Digital Age ESEPSY 1159 M3

Hello everyone, welcome to my second blog post in ESEPSY 1159. Today I am going to talk about being efficient in the digital age. Procrastination can be a problem with me and I’m betting that it is also a problem with you. There are many thing we can do to drive ourselves out if procrastination and be more efficient in the digital age.

There are easy ways to get off the track of prostration. You could create a google account and put everything you need to do into a google calendar. I found this to be extremely helpful, I even downloaded google calendar to my phone and now I get a notification 30 minutes before one of my classes start. Also developing your skills in time management will greatly impact your studies and your mind.

Time management is something that we all as students need to work on and be good at. This is because often times, our schedule is packed full of school work, jobs, and social life. If we work towards setting a designated study time, the rest of our jobs and social life will fall into place and be better to our overall health.

So next time you sit down, take out your phone and add your classes and start times to you google calendar. Make time to study everyday,a and trust me, things will get easier.

Thanks for reading everyone! Hope you all have a good day.

Communicating and Collaborating Module 2

Hello everyone, My name is Tyler Rardin and I am a Sophomore and I am majoring in business management. I want to welcome you to my very first blog post for ESEPSY 1159. As I go through this class I will talk about some of the things that I thought were interesting, so come along for the ride.

In this very first blog post, I will talk about specific examples of something from this module I have already put into practice, and what advice I would give to students based on what I’ve read or experienced during this module. Are you ready?

I have already put my netiquette standards into practice. When talking to others over the internet, whether it be an email, discussion post, or a live video, it is always important to be kind and use proper language. There is nothing more embarrassing than having a blog full of grammar mistakes or language errors. In fact, I have this program called Grammarly downloaded onto my computer and use it every day, I’m using it right now. It is also important that you use as much detail as possible in discussion posts and emails because the detail there is, the easier it will be for the reader to understand and respond.

When it comes to time management, my advice to students is to always have a game plan on when and where you will get homework done. Getting homework done early and on time will reduce stress and open up your schedule for more time to study and just relax. It is important to take some time for yourself and relax. If you don’t pick a day to do it, your body and mind will for you.

Thank you for reading my first blog, be sure to come back and read my updates as I go through this class.
