Blog Reflection Paper

 

Blog Reflection Paper

One of the best tips I reviewed was to use technology. That’s easier said than done because using technology for a blog is common. However, it must be used to your advantage. For example, you need to create a blog environment that users will be attracted to and want to read the blog. I’ve read many blogs, and many of them are lengthy or tend to go in circles instead of getting to the point. Getting right to the point allows users to be intrigued while continuing to read things on the go. Another important tip that was my favorite, according to the article 4 Tips for Blogging Success, is “Know who you are speaking to.” It’s important to know what is the target audience for the blog to be able to captivate and help them reach their goals. The purpose of my blog reflection is to ensure that in the near and distant future, users have a place to go to learn and absorb information from a relaxed source and apply it to their studies and field. 


One issue I encountered when creating my blog was that I was unsure how to link various posts to each other and decipher the difference between a post and a page. Trial and error were my best friends because I tried multiple times to create a page, and it wouldn’t open, create a post, or load. Thankfully, I was able to create a page with various posts. I think my blog can be a tool for users attempting to understand the fundamentals of IT. I ensured my posts were brief and concise. Being in the IT world does not guarantee that users will want to read a lot. They want to get to the point but still learn something. I plan to maintain my blog by updating it with new topics to help end users. I am approaching my final classes, but I know some essential topics will help beginners. I also plan to update it as I go into my Master’s degree, as then I can gear the blog towards a more “tips and tricks” for the IT world type of feel.

Programming Languages: Scratch

  Jossi's Scratch Project   🐾 Using Scratch was an exciting experience. At first, I was unsure that I had arrived at the correct website because I saw many cartoon images and sounds, so I thought I clicked on a game for children. However, I was excited to begin my assignment after confirming I was on the correct site. It gave me a “Are you smarter than a fifth grader” type of feel. I’m not one for perusing through instructions, but when I watched the overview, it made more sense. I like that you can test each block action and see it on the right pane. I didn't appreciate that I had to reset most of my sprites to their starting positions manually.  Another thing is that there should be a way to add various sprites within one screen instead of individually having all the sprites and their codes. If all sprites, backgrounds, and sounds were part of the same screen, there could be an identifier that would indicate that block or code was specific to which sprite; for example,...

Computers in the Workplace: Healthcare IT

Image
  "Health IT is more complex than Rocket Science 🚀" - Epic Using computers in healthcare is essential. Computers allow clinicians to document and research patient information, complete diagnoses, and administer medications. In addition to clinicians, some employees also use computers for other roles such as IT, finance, HR, etc. Employees in this environment need to be computer literate because all of the documentation about patients is on the computer. For example, in the majority of healthcare organizations around the world, electronic medical records are accessed by computers. If, let’s say, a nurse or doctor were not computer literate, how would they be able to document patient diagnoses, symptoms, and assessments? All clinicians need to have a basic understanding of computer functions. On the administrative end, it’s also vital for users to be computer literate because all documents and employee information are primarily stored on computers. Lately, the trends of comput...

Web/Mobile App Critique: Netflix

Image
  The web/mobile application I am familiar with is Netflix. Netflix is highly user-friendly. It guides users in selecting shows, movies, and programs based on their interests. By displaying the categories for each section they can search through across the top of the screen, users can easily find what they’re looking for. According to the Microsoft app store, it’s been categorized as “T” for Teens as it displays diverse content, and discretion is advised. Each software-based store will display when Netflix requires upgrades for a better viewing experience. Grouping each genre as a sub-menu allows me to select a topic I will enjoy. The design of Netflix gives users the feel of being in a movie theater without traveling to one. For example, the intro sound as a user opens up the application provides users a sense that they will embark on an adventure that takes them away from daily life and into the screen world. As formerly mentioned, the sections displayed across the top make it ea...
