Week 4 took place over reading break, and I took the first few days to fully remove myself from as many aspects of the internet as possible. While I still needed to check work group chats occasionally I used no social media or similar sites. The cleanse was needed and allowed a small reset from the daily stresses of having a communication device 24/7. Touching base with Valerie in a group session allowed me to reflect on the semester so far and my goals with the course. Becoming more digitally capable and pushing my regular routines of troubleshooting my parents computer and logging into davinci resolve was the reason I signed up for the course. Through the first few weeks of learning new applications I felt as though the boundaries were being pushed, but slowed down over the past month. Deciphering the blog website and the abilities accessible to the user in posts has continued to keep me learning about opened.ca, however continuing to try new things digitally should be a continual goal.
Also over the break I gave my dog a plate of whipped cream which he loved. Photos attached. Sometimes unplugging can be productive, who knew.
