I learned that I am not comfortable with online classes or to be more specific with online discussions.However I also learned to use a lot of tools that will surely help me with my career and my social and academic life,if I will continue studying after my graduation; and a few of these tools would be Google Docs, Slack, Google Slides, and Zoom. Mainly, because of the pandemic and not knowing how the future looks like and the possibility of working online is very high, so learning to use these tools efficiently was of a great skill that I am very pleased to have acquired mainly through this course.

One thing that I think is essential for my work life in general is time management and also to keep a good balance between social and career life, so learning tools to manage my time through various ways was very useful. Even though, the articles I read regarding this topic and the solutions they proposed, were very simple and to the point; but still I felt that reading about them has made things more easy and in my mind more.( https://wp.me/pbGmGp-S)
I would want to show people mainly the most important three things that I learnt in the course. This would be firstly the digital game that I created and at first thought was almost impossible to do but after I did it I was very proud of myself for completing it all on my own, with the professor’s guidance of course. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vR_gr4QUSuHWAZcQSLowEV-M5aXFx6gQ9ROgodI7C0ZFF3IIpvS9I1o-NI5IzgMbugFhuOAoSrHXOME/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000
Second thing would be all the the information I learnt, from the digital pathway I chose which was the theory path, it included very diverse topics and at the same time it was very interesting and entrating for me.( https://wp.me/pbGmGp-1y )
Third thing, would be Digital Literacy, which was a major theme or topic that we were able to learn about through many ways and also got to practice through exercises and discussions. The most significant event was the Digital Literacies workshop that I attended, as I learnt a lot of new things and started thinking differently after all these eye-opening discussions I heard.

I would have liked if some of the reflections were done through different mediums like having questionnaires or something similar where I was more guided in the reflection and my answers would then be more to the point and direct. Also, I wanted more feedback on the game itself and how I wrote it rather than just how it looked or if any of the steps were wrong or on technical problems. Soliya, was another thing that I wished had more sessions because it took me time to get used to it and to the people I was meeting and by the time I got the hang of it, it was already my last session; so if it was more one hour sessions it would have been better as the session itself would not be that long but at the same time I would be meeting the people for more than just four times.
I would recommend this course for, Someone who is passionate about understanding the juxtaposition of technology and how it interferes in our lives.
I didn’t think there were many available options to choose from, however I deeply appreciate the flexibility and freedom of choice from these opportunities. As, I felt that for example when I had the choice of either attending the zoom class or writing a blog post, then I was more comfortable if I missed a class for any reason that I still was updated on what was happening and was not missing out on anything. However, sometimes I did not know how to choose from the different options, if I had little knowledge about the available options, so it was more of just finding the more convenient one;like the digital pathways
