Compost Pile - Music and Learning
One method I find effective for studying or writing is to conduct a 25-minute sprint session with a 5-minute rest period. Recently, I utilized this technique while answering a question posed by our professor in the community forum for school. I got lost with the the music attached below and it was a great feeling. I thought I share with everyone who follows my creative website.

A D.Q Prompt from School
How do technology implementation best practices differ based on learning environment? What best practices apply regardless of learning environment? Explain.
When it comes to incorporating technology in teaching, whether it's in-person or online, the key is to prioritize the human aspect of learning. As teachers, we must understand our students' needs and determine how we can provide them with valuable interactions. However, different teaching methods may offer varying levels of human connection.
Our ultimate goal is to create an environment that fosters a lifelong love for learning. To achieve this, we need to focus on the individual student's human side, including their prior learning experiences, culture, and societal views, and how they respond to compliance and reward.
It is also considered a sacred obligation to learn not for personal benefit but for sharing with the whole community in most Eastern and Indigenous cultures (Merriam & Baumgartner, 2020, pg 268). Additionally, we must provide a safe space for them to learn and create without any obstacles. This practice can be challenging, as it requires teachers to reflect on their growth and purpose in life to make a meaningful impact on their students.
Throughout this class, I have been viewing it as a means to enhance my current profession with additional information. However, it has opened my eyes to a new level of teaching humans how to learn.
In today's society, with the overflow of information on social media, there is a need for a process and education on how to construct one's learning system. This is a crucial aspect that is currently missing when it comes to learning new skills. We should not fear acquiring new knowledge but rather embrace it.
To me, the difference in the educational experience between face-to-face and online settings is not significantly crazy. Although there is a variation in energy transmitted in a physical location versus apart, both settings utilize tools that serve a significant purpose in facilitating new and interesting connections in learning.
Finally, various interactions within the learning period help build a sense of community among students and peers.
