Introduction

My name is Sabrina and I must admit that this is my first time ever considering writing a blog. This semester I decided to enroll in an Adult Education course, “Learning in a Digital Context,” in order to better understand how people are utilizing the Internet as a resource and opening their minds to all of the possibilities of learning it has to offer. I will be posting each week to outline what knowledge I have gained through this course.

I am in my last year of Business Administration Co-op, concentrating in Operations Management at Brock University. I have no idea where I will end up after school or what I will be doing but I can guarantee that the Internet will be a resource I am asked to utilize in one way or another over and over again. I have never taken an online course so I decided to take this one to feel more comfortable with this technique of learning and to give me some insight into tools that I may be using in the future.

Now, to tell you a little more about myself and what drives me. I LOVE to travel. I had never been outside of North America until I was 16 years old and I went on an educational tour to Greece for 10 days over March break, it was love. I had the travel bug that so many of us have now caught, and made traveling my mission. I worked whenever I could and saved up all my money. In the two consecutive years of high school I traveled to Egypt and Italy, and could not get enough! When I applied to Brock, I made special note that they had partner business schools across the World that were available for exchange for students that kept up their average. I dreamed of Australia like many of us do and decided to try it out on Christmas break of first year. It was great but I decided that it wasn’t the place for my exchange because it is such a large country and I wanted to travel lots. After years of contemplating where to go, in August of 2013 I set out for Paris, France, which has been my second home for the past 4 months.

Paris was great, but I am a homebody and love spending time with my family! I have always been an only child (if we discount the dog) but in December 2008 my family grew exponentially! All of a sudden I had 6 step siblings! Don’t worry, that wasn’t a typo, I did in fact mean 6. Most would consider it a little overwhelming, but there is a catch to this story. The eldest has been my best friend since we were 12, so I have grown up with all of the kids. I must admit that it gets a little chaotic in our house when everyone is together but I love them all! Of course our family would not be complete without an excitable dog! He is the most spoiled one in the family, getting whatever he wants but I cannot imagine my life without him!
