Moodle Media

Every college has their own system for homework and grading. When I was at University of Cincinnati and Ohio University-Chillicothe, we used Blackboard, but here at ONU we use Moodle. Personally I have found Blackboard easier to navigate, but it is not as technologically advanced as Moodle. One aspect I really like about Moodle is how they have made it into a social app as well as an educational tool.

Here at ONU, we have an app for ONU students and facility. This app is connected to Moodle and not only does it have the education aspect, but also a social side. In the ONU app, you are connected with every student enrolled at the university. All students enrolled and have the app can post to the student wall or direct message each other. There are always funny posts about things happening around campus and its most popular for freshman students to communicate throughout the freshman dorms.

When it comes to Moodle, the app links to your classes through Moodle, so the app directly notifies you when your professor posts announcements for the class. You can also see a map of where your classes are located and see assignments posted in your classes. The app is a fast and efficient way to navigate through your class schedules.

I think it's a great idea to create a social aspect to your education app because it gets your students more involved and could potentially help them stay more up-to-date with their classes. I don't know if other universities that use Moodle have an app, but I commend ONU for using it.

    Hello,
    Moodle is also very new to me. When I attended Marion Technical College we used Canvas. I do like that it makes a community and is not just your grades.
    Thanks for sharing,
    Alyson

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
