I was really excited when I saw this course. Being that I didn’t have most of this newer technology or AI when I had my undergraduate experience the first time around, a lot of these things are new to me from my own personal student’s perspective. Recently, I have found that as new technology is developed, I am falling behind on what those technologies are and how I can best use them. This came up recently when doing a group project. My team was using Canva to create our powerpoint presentation and while I knew of the program, I had only used it a few times to make birthday invitations (I actually didn’t even know that the program can be used to be a slideshow presentation). I thought I was pretty good with technology, I’ve worked with some sophisticated systems before but I found teaching myself to use Canva challenging, while balancing doing the project assignment. Good thing I have this course to help me build my skills and become more comfortable using these tools!
