Ahoy, Me Hearties!  Making a super short podcast about embracing silence was like a wild ride full of ups and downs. From coming up with the idea to recording the final version, it was a mix of fun and challenges. First off, I had tons of ideas bouncing around in my head, but I got hooked on the idea of silence. In our crazy fast world, we often ignore how awesome silence can be. It's not just about being quiet, it's about using silence to think deeply, stay chill, and connect with others.

It felt awesome to hear my idea come to life in sound, knowing i...

  Ahoy, Me Hearties! In this project, the great thing is that I have an opportunity to manage the making of infographics which is like visual guides packed full of cool data. The topic that I chose was "copyrights and fair use," which is all about how one can enjoy stuff like music/audio, videos, or images, without any problems.

I needed to discover the golden weight of looking attractive and featuring all important data. I used piktochart to make that awesome infographic. It was an easy-to-use tool for me cause it also gets help from AI but it does NOT end there. Not just infographics but it helps you with presentation, brochures and many others. Also, it lets you edit them. Even if you are an techno-moron (oops) ,  you would make the edits with ease. So, what are the cool points about information graphics in learning th...

    Ahoy, Me Hearties! Learning in the 21st century? It has become a whole new game, mateys, compared to the old days of just cramming facts and figures. Nowadays, it's all about flexing those thinking muscles, teaming up with others, letting loose our creativity, and mastering the tools of technology. And when it comes to learning languages, like English, this change is major. It's not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules anymore. It's about being able to talk, understand different points of view, and handle real-life situations like a boss. That's where technology swoops in as our trusty sidekick. With gadgets like smartphones and laptops, we can dive into a whole world of language apps, interactive videos, and virtual chats with people from all over the map. Learning English? It's no longer a snooze-fest ¹ ; it's an epic adventure! Me? I'm aiming to become a teacher, and let me tell you, technology's a game-changer in the classroom. It ...
