Looking at Module Two

In the second module of Technology for Leading and Learning, we covered a few new ideas that helped me grow as an individual using technology. The first concept that was introduced in this section was the 3r's research method and how it can be beneficial when discovering new pieces of information. The main focus of the module was on studying the importance and relevance of Moore's Law and learning how to make various edits using Adobe Express. 


I found the 3r method to apply to my field of study in health sciences. Research, reading fast, and reflecting are three important abilities for one to utilize while searching for information that is on the internet. While searching for new ideas online can bring about many topics, it is crucial to narrow down the search to what you are really looking to get at to have a concise reflection. Too many ideas thrown at an individual from the internet may confuse and lead to misunderstandings, but if you learn the 3Rs, this can save time and help researchers complete tasks more efficiently.  


We watched a video that provided a deeper understanding of how Moore's Law has made an impact on technology over the years. Moore's Law essentially states that as time goes on, smart devices such as laptops and cellphones will continue to get faster and cost less for the user. This was believed to occur every two years (Jovanovic, 2002). Part of this module also consisted of conducting our own research on Moore's Law and compiling a list of sources that our classmates could also look into to gain more knowledge on the topic. I found this belief to be fascinating, especially to see how it has been applied to technology over the past 50 years.

Using Adobe Express was simple and exciting for editing pictures. I found the method of removing backgrounds to be extremely helpful for using images online and adding them to this blog to help me keep it unique to my style. I feel as though this program will be something I am using a lot to develop my blog throughout the duration of this course. The effects add a lot of opportunities to get innovative as I make original content that can be a public display of who I am to my peers and other professionals in my future field of work.

After testing out different effects and images, here are the before and after of the picture I ultimately decided to edit using this application:

I was particularly excited during the second module of Technology for Leading and Learning, as we explored new programs and concepts. I felt myself grow while going through the different sections of information we were introduced to. I was intrigued by how simple it was to make edits using Adobe Express. I also found Moore's Law to be interesting and relevant to the way we view technology as it changes over time. Additionally, I will be utilizing the 3R method for future assignments, projects, and research in general as I expand my knowledge from here on forward, both in class and in the real world.

This week in Class: 6D Effect, Video Editing, and Law of Accelerating Returns

Image
 Technology Advancing with 6D Effect & Accelerating Returns Law This week in Technology for Leading and Learning we studied The 6D effect and its relevance in the modern world. We also looked at how to edit videos using Adobe Express. There were many different ways to trim, combine, and get creative with different settings for the videos. I ultimately decided to use the two separate videos I record to combine them into one and crop out a section that I did not need.  The 6D effect is interesting when it comes to the way things in technology advance. The 6 "Ds" in the 6D Effect stand for "Digitalization, deception, disruption, demonetization, dematerialization, and democratization". I think one of the most fascinating parts of this effect is the deception and how this plays a role on society. As a society, we are changing and growing as technology develops around us. It can definitely be deceptive at times what new technology is going to come out and change the w...

Entropy and Health Sciences

Image
Understanding Entropy in Health Sciences      This week's module covered an important topic when it comes to healthcare and medicine: Entropy. When we look at the way the system of medicine works, it is clear that there is a need for a deeper understanding of this concept. So what is entropy? According to the Dictionary, there are many different ways to define this unique term, but for the sake of health science, we are going with this definition:  " the   amount   of   disorder   or   the   degree   of   randomness   of   a   system" (Farlex, 2022). Retrieved September 18, 2022, from https://assignmentpoint.com/the-entropy/     After going through the material in this week's module, we were also assigned to research how entropy is applied to our future careers. Following this, we looked into how to construct a video on Adobe Express. I enjoyed learning how to get creative and use the video editing tool...

 My Flywheel Technology Leadership Strategy          Welcome to another blog post for Technology for Leading and Learning! There has been a lot of new information taught to us the past few weeks, lots of which have been applicable to my life. The two main focuses of these weeks were on the One Thing Model and the Flywheel Model. I thoroughly enjoyed completing these assignments as they are helping me stay focused and on track for my future. I chose my One Thing because I feel like it will ultimately help me obtain the life and future, I want for myself.     As I was growing up, I was always driven to succeed in fields in which I knew I could directly make a difference and help people around me. I chose to focus on medicine from a young age and throughout my high school and college years have focused on various different fields that interest me. The biggest part I struggled with was finding a way to organize my thoughts and develop a timeline....
