First Blog Of The Semester!

 Hello!

     My goal for this class is to understand better how technology may improve learning for students and professionals. I want to learn about modern methods and resources that can be used to close access gaps to education, especially in underprivileged areas. I want to use this information in my future work as a healthcare administrator, where I want to include digital resources in low-income communities' healthcare education. By utilizing technology, I think I can contribute to having more fair access to healthcare and education. 

     My previous experiences with technology in the classroom have mainly involved mentoring and tutoring. I have worked with students in underprivileged areas as a tutor with Guadalupe Tutor Corps, using Google Classroom and Zoom as online teaching tools. Despite the difficulties of remote learning, I improved my ability to use these resources to engage students and enhance their learning experience during the COVID-19 epidemic. In addition, I have supported environmental awareness activities with various software products through Seaside Sustainability. 

     Formal and informal learning resources are part of my learning networks. I like to read, and some of the books I pick are about social justice, healthcare, and personal growth. Additionally, I mostly rely on online resources like LinkedIn Learning and Coursera to improve my abilities, especially in leadership and healthcare administration. Through groups like Minorities in Public Health, which offer networking opportunities and education about public health jobs, I interact with peers and mentors offline. These materials work together to help me achieve my long-term objectives of improving low-income neighborhoods.
