In my day-to-day life I regularly use four main apps. These apps are Text Messages, Tiktok, Disney+ and Notability. On a normal day, I can guarantee I am opening these apps multiple times for various reasons. Text Messages are my daily communication form. My family and friends are mostly back home, in Saskatoon so communicating online is a big part of my life and social activities. Tiktok is a distracting app for me, I can never seem to ignore it. Once I get on Tiktok, I can’t get off it. Scrolling is so addicting despite me knowing I should do something more productive. In fact, every social media tends to distract me with videos. I often use the “three more videos” or the “in five minutes” strategy to convince myself to get off the distracting apps, which works most of the time. Notabilitiy is my go-to app for notetaking and school related things. I bring my iPad with me every day to take notes for every one of my classes. I like this app because it keeps everything all in one place, but still organized. It allows me to have subjects and folders, creating subcategories for anything I need. I also like to use Quizlet and URCourses for organization relating to school. Disney+ is a weird one for me. Sometimes I am using it for leisure, and to relax for the night, but most of the time I have it running on my favorite show in the background of everything I do. And I mean, EVERYTHING. I think the tv helps me fill the silence of Regina in comparison to how I have always lived (in a packed, busy house). The only time I turn it off is when I am asleep or out of the house. Overall, I think technology is beneficial to the learning experience, but it has its' own distractions.
