What things do I like to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I like what I was doing last year in CAT. I worked on media editting projects with iMovie, iDVD, Toaster, Panopto, etc. It was difficult not because I worked nights, but because I worked nights alone so if I had a question it was too late for someone to help.<\/p>\n

What skills do I have?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I learn quickly. I’m not an expert in all programs, but I enough of a basic understanding of software, and most programs designed now are user friendly. So as long as I understand what I’m trying to do, then the figuring the interface shouldn’t be too hard. Further skills I have are problem solving skills, critical thinking, creativity, and a sense of humor (yes it’s a skill).<\/p>\n

Goals?<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) What goal do you have for this year to make your Info Commons experience a success?<\/p>\n

To become proficient in all social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Tumblr, Linkedin, Google+, Blogger) within a month of school starting. Gain more knowledge about programs that will for CAT and Info Commons.<\/p>\n

2) What goal do you have for this year to make Info Commons better as a whole?<\/p>\n

Establish things like QuickGuides and templates for future Info Commons and CAT students. The best way to make a strong and useful program is to build upon the work of those before you. We have a responsibility as current students to progress the program for the next generation. Whatever work I can do today to better tomorrow is to be considered good work.<\/p>\n

3) What is your feedback on the whole life values and experiences session we had on Thursday?<\/p>\n

I come from a background that preaches ‘whole-being’. That is to be a well rounded person. I really appreciated the session on whole life values because it’s an important aspect of doing good work. I believe there is a harmony to life, and while work, school, and life may be separated; it is difficult for the parts of your day to not overlap. Promoting good lifestyle habits and balance will optimize not only work, but also life outside of work.<\/p>\n

What do I like that we do and what do we need to improve on in IC\/CAT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year, working nights in JH 048, there was some projects that Jeana would have me do. But unless I was given one big project, day-to-day there was nothing I did regularly. What is new to me, are the libguides that correct this exact problem I had. It provides a database for on-going projects, checklists, and helpguides which is exactly what I need if I’m working alone and have questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
