Feedback Loops - Class Example

Reflection on Feedback Loops and My Growth

As I looked back through our class feed, one clear example of a feedback loop stood out to me: the comments I received on my first blog post from Quinn Ryan, Josian Thomas White, and Jillian Komornik. Each of them took the time to point out what they found engaging about my post. From the colorful and inviting style to my use of quotes that reflected my personality and teaching values. They also highlighted deeper elements, such as my emphasis on accessibility, student-centered learning, and active engagement with digital tools. This feedback loop started with my original post, continued with their thoughtful responses, and then looped back to influence my later work. Their encouragement reinforced that my colorful, engaging style was a strength, while their specific praise about integrating ideas from educational thinkers and using self-reflection gave me a clearer direction for improvement.

Taking their input into account, I kept my vibrant style in future posts while putting more focus on deepening my connections to the content, refining my reflections, and making my ideas more concrete. This process not only improved my blog but also helped me see the value of constructive, specific feedback in shaping my work. Looking at my posts to date, I can see growth in both content and presentation. What started as an instinctive choice, making my blog visually engaging, has become an intentional strategy to connect with my audience while also developing more thoughtful, well-supported ideas. This is exactly what feedback loops are meant to do: create a cycle of sharing, receiving, and improving that strengthens the work and the learning community.

We've already made big strides with technology in education, and I believe we can keep going. I imagine learning that's inclusive, student driven, and co-designed with the learners themselves. Students should have a voice in what and how they learn, using digital tools not just to consume information, but to create, collaborate, and grow in ways that matter to them.

Social Media Detox Final Reflections

  My 7-Day Social Media Detox: Reclaiming Time, Presence, and Peace This experiment wasn’t just about avoiding screens, it was a reset of my relationship with attention, time, and what truly fills my cup. For seven days, I banned Instagram and TikTok after 6 PM, and the shift was profound. What started as a battle against autopilot scrolling became a revelation: I’d been trading real life for digital crumbs. The data told a clear story: screen time plummeted by over 50% by week’s end, difficulty ratings dropped from a grueling 5 to an effortless 2, and slip-ups (like FOMO-driven TikTok checks) became lessons in mindfulness. But beyond the numbers, something deeper shifted. I rediscovered the texture of presence. Evenings once lost to the mindless scroll, transformed into sacred space: puzzles with my mom’s laughter filling the room, bracelet-making that felt like meditation,  Black Mirror  debates with my brother where I actually absorbed the plot and was n...
