I believe that I lean more into the exteroceptive because I tend to be more focused on the things happening around me rather than the things happening within. This might be because I have issues on focusing on things due to a shortened attention span caused by constant use of social media. Social media is designed to overstimulate your brain, especially the “shorts” feature of it. The side effect of this overstimulation is a small attention span and therefore a more exteroceptive dominant mind.
I believe that meditation focused on internal actions may be best to help to fix my overly exteroceptive dominant brain.
Question 2
I believe that slowed breathing is better for me as it helps to allow myself to gain more oxygen and keep calm better. It may also help me to keep focused on my meditation due to needing to focus on breathing while meditation, this would result in m focusing more internally.
Question 3
I still believe that slow breathing would help because it will slow your blood flow and will therefore calm you down when in a stressful situation. it may also increase oxygen intake due to it being used in belly breathing which is used to get full air intake with each breath.
I believe that I learned much from my small side projects of making pens and other trinkets, these mini assignments helped better my understand some machines as well as teach me how to use other ones such as the laive. During the production of these pens I grew an affinity on the process of making pens. I started to sell them for money and was able to pull some profit into my hobby. My enjoyment of the wooden arts continues to grow with each new successful project and as I make more and more things such as a resin cast necklace pendant. Despite my success much of the time, I am not all knowing and I do make mistakes. When I don’t know what to do I use my communication skills to ask more experienced craftsmen to help me better understand the situations I may find myself in. With their help I learn to master my skills on pen making. Overall I am glad I started making pens and that I was able to grow multiple areas of my life.
I can show critical thinking due to me demonstrating that I can effectively learn how to use new machines to achieve my goals on making projects (thinking)
I can show happiness and take pride in my craft once I complete a beautiful and functional piece. (personal and social)
I was able to ask for help when I needed it. I asked both Mr. Huber as well as other more experienced students to siphon information from them to better my own skills. (communicating)
During this activity I discovered cool things about horoscopes and blood type horoscopes. I believe that some things may be accurate to myself when I read up on my horoscope but a lot of the things that my horoscope predicted about me could apply to a large percentage of the population. This was suspicious and it leads me to believe that horoscopes may be a scam. Despite this I believe that horoscopes are still fun and interesting idea. They shouldn’t be taken that seriously though and definately should not be used to determine someones personality.
Judging people based on horoscope isn’t good in my opinion as there is no solid scientific evidence that people’s blood type or month they were born in effects their personality in any way. Because of this I have never judged someone based on their horoscope.
I believe that horoscopes and superstitions are popular because they are fun and a cool way to explain things that are hard to understand to most people. They may also may be used as a excuse to explain bad behaviour by some people.
A pro for group work is that there are more people at work and therefore the work may be done better and quicker due to the teamwork put together by an effective group.
con
A con for group work is that the work may not turn out completely as what you hoped it be as each member needs to compromise to each others differing ideas for the project that you guys are working on.
core competencies
If there is a disagreement in my group I find it helpful to ask everyone what we should do about the disagreement and then work together to create a common solution to the problem
I show others that I truly value their contributions by respecting their part of the project and giving them freedom to create and work on their own.
I know the group is working well when I hear/see proper communication such as people working together and adding their own ideas to the project while others accept the given ideas.
Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen when I helped answer questions on the math group’s discord server to help my group groupmates.
in familiar situations I collaborate with others to achieve a common goal.
During this assignment I have worked with many of my peers to practice for an interview. One of these practice activities included doing randomized jenga practice questions where each brick was a question an employer may as during an interview. during this activity I worked with two of my classmates to answer questions, at times I helped them by correcting and suggesting better answers if they said something inappropriate for an interview. I learned how to better work with people from this experience. specifically by giving better feedback.
I solved problems in a calm and effective way this semester similar to how a puzzle piece fits perfectly in the bigger puzzle. An example of my effective and correct way of solving a issue would be when I had 4 tests in one week. I responded to this by carefully planning each day to maximize the amount of time I had to study. I got As for all four tests as a result of my planning and problem solving.
One specific way I demonstrated problem solving in CLE was when I helped resolve the issue of not being able to do the goals and values assignment due to not understanding the instructions. I fixed this issue by asking two of my peers before the teacher. This way I get three chances of fixing the issue. the assignment file is below
I know that my digital foot print can have both positive and negative consequences including…so I adjust my actions to…
I understand that my digital footprint can affect me in many ways such as making my life harder with people coming after me both online or and in real life If I post something bad and controversial. If you post only positive things many good things may come such as you’re accounts growing in a positive light and turning into pillars of inspiration and entertainment. I personally adjust my actions to not fall into the bad categories by not posting anything other than encouragement and soft criticism on YouTube.
by doing… online I make a positive difference to my peers
as I said before I post positive comments of encouragement to people to try and make them feel a sense of accomplishment, I especially like to do this on channels with smaller followings as a lot of them tend to feel a bit more happy which they show by liking my comment a personally thanking me.
some of the ways I work to build and maintain online friendships are…
I have a ps4 in my house which I like to play games on, in this gaming console you are able to friend people and hang out with them in an online environment (usually in game worlds). I friend only those who I think are kind and helpful. once I friend them I usually invite or join their gaming sessions and talk about various things about video games, personal hobbies or ask them things about their life such as what they like to do in their free time or what their favourite food is. I make sure to keep at least 10 online friends and hang out with all of them at least once during a span of two weeks.
What me and my partners did: we made a project explaining how to use certain punctuation marks that are used to end a sentence or other parts of writing such as quotes or parenthesis. my partners were Taylor Moore and Kaitlyn Neuls.
reflection: I think I did everything in my power to make this project turn out good, I tried my best to get my team together using emails but from the last time I’ve seen my project I don’t think much effort went into their ends. I am generally proud of my part because I think I explained how to use the exclamation mark well and was able to use online resources lot build my part of this project. I assume I used word with fairly good efficiency by utilizing images, the drawing function, shape inserts, fonts, bolding, italics, highlighting, coloured letters and more to decorate and explain the exclamation mark. this project was generally fun because I learned a lot about Microsoft word: this can help me do projects in the future quicker and with more skill.
