Thoughts about Technology


As I have said before, I am not very tech-savvy, so I am looking forward to using different technology tools and learning more about them. I am somewhat familiar with Weebly, as I had to create a website for another class. I also have used WordPress before, but I am using Blogger for this course. I have used Mac Preview on my computer, but honestly do not know where many tools are on it and click around until I find what I need. For graphics creation, I am very familiar with Canva but have not used it in a while in favor of Adobe Illustrator. I will likely need to use the Adobe Suite in my future career, so I have been focusing on learning it. My previous online class only used Canvas, so this class will be a major change from that. I think it will be very helpful for me to be forced to use a variety of websites this semester. One tool I'd like to work on learning is Weebly; this is what I use for my "professional" website, so I think it's important I know how it operates.

Introduction to Shea "Campus Involvement" Penning

Hello! My name is Shea Penning and I'm excited to meet you! I am a junior majoring in Advertising and minoring in Italian. I was born in Texas, have lived in Nevada and California, and was raised in Edmond, Oklahoma. I don't know exactly what I want to do once I graduate, but right now I think I'd like to continue my education at a portfolio school and study graphic design. One of my favorite parts of college has been getting involved on campus! I got involved in Soonerthon Exec my freshman year in the Ambassador (aka fundraising) committee. I joined the same committee the next year as a team captain. If you are unfamiliar with Soonerthon, it is OU's official philanthropy for the Oklahoma City Children's Hospital Foundation and ends with a huge dance marathon in March. Last year, we raised over $1 million FTK (For the Kids)! Picture of me at Soonerthon 2018. Personal image. Soonerthon falls under Campus Activities Council, which is the programming branch ...

Tech Tip: Word Counter

This word counter is so helpful! I usually go to a word counter website and write my text in there, then copy and paste it. This extension makes it easy to just write where I will posting my text so I don't have to flip between tabs. I usually am worried about meeting the minimum word count, but I usually don't have an issue hitting, I am just afraid that I won't. I think I am generally bad in estimating numbers in general, so I probably would be very off in my estimate if I just tried tried to guess how long my writing is.
