Hello, Bianka I think it amazing that you love children, how cant you? i totally understand what you mean by distractions. I tend to have a lot of distractions around me and sometimes let them get the best of me. I hope you have a successful semester.
Hey Bianka, My name is Selanie and we shared some of the same things. I love children they are super adorable and that’s amazing that you have your teacher’s Assistant Certificate I’m trying to get that as well once I finish my two years in ECE. I also get really distracted when I have the tv on or my family tends to talk really loud lol. Nice to meet you and hope to speak with you more in class :).
Bianka — Thanks for your comment! Welcome to BMCC and ECE 110-Seminar! Having a CDA is a key credential to work in Head Start and Early Head Start Programs. I look forward to learning from your experiences! Distraction is a factor that can impact time management and online learning — especially since we are engaged in distance learning and many people are working from home.
My name is Briana Crespin a nd my gender pronouns are she/her. I like to dance I actually used to dance for my church. I like to play basketball, and ride bike too. What techniques will I use to work on my time management? I will make sure to check the assigments and make sure that I pace myself so that im not doing things last minute. What will also help me is going over the syllabus to make sure that I undertsnad the requirements of this class. Something that will be challenging is that I tend to forget about open lab considering it is not on black board. I will however make sure that Icheck my emails to makesure im up to date with all my assignments.
Hi Briana, my name is Elizabeth, it’s really nice that you like dancing and it’s seems like you’re very active and like sports.

— Setting reminders to my phone about when assignments are due
— Check Blackboard and Open Lab daily to keep track of assignments
—Some challenges that could prevent me from using my techniques would be my busy home life. I have to learn how to balance the two out and I plan to deal with this by scheduling out home errands on days where I don’t have class to make it easier for me to remember.
Hey gina Im also shy so i feel your pain and I also tend to get very busy at home with errands, so i guess we both have see how the semester goes for us with time management. GOODLUCK 🙂
Hi Gina, My name is selanie and I can tell that you love working with children because when were on zoom you have the kiddos in the back calling you to take you outside lol. super cute. I did notice your colorful hair which I love and I can’t wait to see your next hair color. I can also be a bit shy too sometimes especially when it comes to speaking in front of a larger class. Yes! we all need to keep track of assignments especially with all the classes and assignments we have to complete for our other classes.
Gina — Thanks for your comment! Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! I look forward to hearing about your experiences as a para in the DOE! I am also curious to see your hair! Balancing responsibilities for work, home, and school is alot to juggle!
Hi Gina!
I love that you are always changing up your hair. I bleached mine for this first time recently and added a rose gold color, I think I might be addicted to dying it now. haha
I can also relate to getting swept up in a busy schedule, but I am sure you’ll do great in this class!
Hi Gina, my name is Elizabeth it’s is very hard to open to people but I know it takes some time to start being comfortable with our surroundings again.
1.What is your preferred name and gender pronouns?
Hi My name is Selanie Marte ( like Melanie but with an S) but you can call me Sely since my name is a little hard to pronounce. My gender Pronouns are she/her.
2.Tell us 3 things you would you like us to know about you?
3 thing I would like to share with you all about myself are, I’m Very patient, I love to help others(maybe a little too much if you ask me). I enjoy shopping, watching Netflix, spending time with my family and my dog luna (baby luna as I call her).
What are 2 techniques you plan to use to manage your time in this on-line class (at least 1 technique should be from the video) ? What challenges could prevent you from using the techniques? How will you deal with those challenges?Two Techniques I plan to us to manage my time in this on-line class are time management, being engaged by preparing myself for each class while using the syllabus and submitting assignments on time. Lastly communicating with my class/professor. Challenges that can prevent me from using this technique are to us a calendar, communicate with my professor, after each class try to get your assignments completed before the next class. I will deal with those challenges by taking my time with each course and try to keep myself organize by using a folder and labeling each class.
Hey Selanie,
We share something in common which is helping others and being patient. I love Netflix, and family is very important to me. I strongly agree that it is important to always be prepared and submitting all the work on time. Also, communication is key and i believe it is also important to ask questions if any doubts before starting class.
Hey Selanie, I love how you broke down your name for us in order to try and pronounce it! I also have a dog who is a Yorkie who’s name is Luna too. I can see that your a dog lover and that’s cool! I can certainly agree that shopping is the way to have fun and go all out. Time management is important for us so we can stay on task and not fall behind.
Selanie — It’s nice to meet you! Thanks for your comment! You are actually the 3rd person I know with your name — although each spells it different (Solannny, Selene). What are your favorite shows on Netflix? What kind of dog is Luna? I have 3 dogs myself. It seems like some of the strategies you are talking about have to deal with organization (making folders, using a calendar, etc.). You can always communicate with me! I am available by phone, FaceTime, What’s App, text, email, Remind app, Zoom, office hours, etc.! Connecting with colleagues from class is another way to build relationships,, and know what’s happening.
Hi Selanie! I wish you all the best and good luck with this class
my preferred name is Anna.
3 things I would like you to know about me is
1. I love children
2. I love drawing manga/anime
3. I like to watch video gameplay on youtube.
Techniques to manage time:
1. I will not wait for the last minute to complete my assignments.
2. I can make a list of due date’s homework assignment by reviewing course web pages.
This will allow me to become familiar of the professor’s expectations.
3. On challenge that may prevent me from using these techniques is the system would not work and I would have to call tech support. I need to stay engaged with professor and fellow classmates.
Hi Annamarija,
It is great that you love children, they are all a bundle of joy. They just bring a little happiness to your world.
Leaving things for the last minute its not a good routine, having to complete your assignments on time shows responsibility and you also feel accomplish. That is something that i can also work on. I like your idea about making a list of due dates, I will keep that in mind.
Hi Anna, I like to draw as well but more so doodle lol. I like how your very on top of your school work. I think we all need that motivation to keep up with assignments with all the classes we have. Making a list is a perfect idea I think I’m going to take that advice and use it.
Annamarijia — Thanks for your comment. Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! I would love to see 1 of your anime/ manga drawings 1 day! Using resources — such as tech support, or the BMCC Service Desk — is an important method to overcoming obstacles that may pop up with Blackboard, your BMCC email, CUNY First, BMCC portal, etc.

I will use my friends or family phone and I will contact all my professor and I try to buy a phone if it’s lost or stolen
Hi Jasmattie, nice to meet you! I also plan to get my work done on time to manage time in this online class. By doing that it also helps to plan your day or week with a planner which I plan on using.
Hi Ashely! thank you so much and all the best
Jasmattie — Thanks for your comment! Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! Not giving up on your dreams or goals demonstrates your determination. You have friends and family who are very generous — they let you borrow your phone! Hopefully you will not lose the one you have access to!
Thank you for the Inspiration professor Jen. I will never give up on my dreams
Introduce yourself by answering the following questions
What is your preferred name and gender pronouns?
Hello, my name is Brianna Rodriguez, I am fine with being called my name and my preferred pronouns are she,her.
Tell us 3 things you would you like us to know about you?
1-If I am good at something I don’t mind helping others.
2- I work at a domestic violence non-profit, and almost everyperson has either heard, seen, or been through DV. If you need help or know someone I can give anyone the information to the center.
3- If you think your the only person who sucks on online school, your not I am completely lost you would think a 19 year old would know her in and out for a computer but I don’t.
What are 2 techniques you plan to use to manage your time in this on-line class (at least 1 technique should be from the video) ? What challenges could prevent you from using the techniques? How will you deal with those challenges?
-One technique I plan on using to manage my time is a planner, it has always worked best for me to write down what needs to be done and important dates.
– I will try not wait last minute to do my assignments
The only challenges that prevent me from not waiting last min and my siblings and work, I am usually the one watching them or working so sometimes I loose track of time.
Hey Brianna its very nice to meet you! You seem like a very nice person and so genuine. I agree with you about having a plan to manage your time better especially under these circumstances. Sometimes I could also be shy meeting new people and I look forward to meeting you and hopefully even working with one another.
Hi Brianna, My name is Selanie and it’s nice to meet you. I think it’s incredible that you work with Domestic Violence. A lot of people are going through some tough times and may not want to speak up on it. I have a planner as well and I forget to write down my assignments in it but I should start doing that more often to keep track of my assignments/projects. We all loose a little track or tend to forget about assignments but we can all try to keep each other motivated on this online zoom journey.
Brianna — Thanks for your comment! Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! I applaud the work you do — I know there are many people whose life depends on those services! Thank you! We all come with different levels of computer literacy — and that’s fine. Please reach out if you are struggling, I am happy to help. That is part of the reason I chose to use OpenLab over Blackboard (and I will ask you to let me know your opinion); I think it is more “user-friendly” then Blackboard. Juggling responsibilities at home — like caring for siblings — along with work and school is a lot to manage!
Hi Brianna!
I think the work you do is incredible, and that community is so lucky to have you!
Also, thanks for being open and sharing that you are lost with online school. I definitely feel lost or overwhlemed at times and it is reassuring to know I am not the only one! Hopefully the class together can do well!

What challenges could prevent you from using the techniques? How will you deal with those challenges?
The challenges that could prevent me from using the techniques is helping my little brother with his school work too. I will deal with this by getting help from my sister to also put her time on helping him when I’m getting my assignments done.
Hey Emily my name is Kathy its very nice to meet you! I loved your introduction its seems like you are very talented. I would never be able to draw let alone do my makeup, I am not an artist but it’s really cool that you do those things. I hope to work with you in class and maybe even become friends. 🙂
Hey Emily, My name is Selanie and I noticed you like to draw and do make up and I love both but I’m not great with applying eyeshadow. foundation and a nice lipgloss is the furthest I can go. maybe you can teach me a thing or two with applying make up. Your’e also super lucky to have siblings, I don’t. I also love how family oriented and motivated you are. Nice to meet you! Hope to chat with you more in class.
Hi Emily my name is Lizbeth and is nice to meet you 🙂 It looks like you love doing make up just like I do but I am not so good at it but I am getting there you know and also I love listening to music while I draw it keeps me more calm in some way.Hope everything is well for you and keep up with the good work!!
Emilly — Thanks for your comment! Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! I enjoy listening to music too — what type of music for your prefer? Trying to help children in the family do their work and get your own work done is a struggle.
Hey Emily! We both are very shy and it’s something that I hope to overcome it! I love doing my makeup , I do colorful looks but only to stay in my room. I tend to go for the natural look whenever I wanna go out.

– One technique is STAY ENGAGED and not zone out
– Second technique is to have a plan to help me lay out when I need to get my work done so I don’t pile myself with all the work I have to do last minute.
– Some challenges that could prevent me from doing my work is being distracted when my school work needs my undivided attention. For example, my phone, leaving the house, etc. I will deal with those challenges by keeping myself in my room without those distractions.
Hi Kathy, My name is Selanie. I see that you love to bake/cook and I like to eat lol. I am definitely the same I can be very social but shy at times. I also get very distracted with my phone or tv, even when my family talks super loud or when my dog wants to play with me at the wrong time.
Hey Kathy, it’s cool how you like to bake/cook, especially this keeps you entertain for the day. I can agree with you on being shy, I am as well a shy person when I meet new people. I get distracted as well especially on my phone when notifications keep popping up. It’s hard to avoid these distractions especially when there is noises around you that can easily get your attention.
HI! Kathy is so great to meet you. I also love to bake and cooked.
Kathy — Thanks for your post! It’s nice to meet you! Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! What do you like to cook/ bake? I know there are times when I don’t feel like working — I would rather be outside or doing something else. Self-care is important, especially in during the COVID and BLM crises we are experiencing. I wonder, how can you find a balance between having enough time to take care of yourself and working?

One challenge I might face is losing track of time. I will deal with this challenge by using a planner and write down what I have to do and any upcoming due dates.
Ashley — Thanks for your comment! Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar on OpenLab! What type of music do you like listening to? Being prepared can help you to be successful in online classes. It is very easy to lose track of time. I look forward to getting to know, working with, and learning from you during our time together!

– I love and enjoy art.
3. What are 2 techniques you plan to use to manage your time in this online class? What challenges could prevent you from using the techniques? How will you deal with those challenges?
– The two techniques I plan to use in order to manage my time in this online class is keeping up with the upcoming assignments in the future without leaving it to the very last minute. I plan to stay engage with my professor and my fellow classmates in order to stay updated with work. Being engage with my classmates will benefit me to help one another when it comes to working on an assignment that I don’t understand.
– A challenge that can prevent me from using the time management technique is leaving the assignments last minute due to the other classes that I am taking. If I am not organize and don’t keep up with the due dates, this can cause me to get a failing grade.
– I will deal with this challenge by getting a planner to mark the dates for each assignment that is due. This will be helpful for me because it reminds me to stay on tack with the upcoming assignments in the future.
HI Daniela, My name is Lizbeth and it seems like you we have two things in common because I am a shy person as well but I eventually get comfortable around people and you like art just like I do but for me I enjoy doing it on my free time.It seems that you like being organized and like to keep up with your work and that is very important for me too because I am not trying to stay behind and leave everything last minute you know.
hello Daniela nice to meet you!!! all the best for you in this new chapter of your life.
Daniela — Nice to meet you! Thanks for your comment and welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! Tell me more about your dogs! I also have 3 dogs — Bailey (~14-1/2 years old), Sandy (~12 years old), and Bella (~11 years old). Creating connections with colleagues from class is important for many reasons — it helps to stay on top of what’s due but also helps you to build relationships and create community.
Hey Daniela! Something we have in common is that we are both shy but open up eventually. When I first meet someone, im the most shy person ever. I end up being comfortable with the person and talk forever.

– I like playing sports especially soccer
3. What are 2 techniques you plan to use to manage your time in this online class? What challenges could prevent you from using the techniques? How will you deal with those challenges?
-One of the techniques that I would use to manage my time in this online class would be doing my assignments a week earlier so that can leave me with more time for my other classes
-I would split my work and homework throughout that week that way I don’t multitask all in one
-The challenges that could prevent me from using these techniques is not being organized and distractions for example being your phone or watching television. To deal with these challenges I would personally note all my assignments down on a planner or post its because that helps me be organized and when it comes to homework I would set my phone aside until I am done what I am doing
Lizbeth — Thanks for your comment and welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! What medium do you prefer to use to paint with? Tasks can be completed more effectively and thoroughly when we focus on 1 task at a time, as opposed to trying to multitask. I love post-its!
Hi Lizbeth,
I loved the techniques you mentioned. I find that most of the times it can be overwhelming trying to do all my work at once. Splitting the work I do throughout the week definitely helps me focus on and relax than if I multi tasked and did all my work in one go. I also set my phone aside so that I can concentrate and stay productive.

2 techniques to manage my time would be have a calendar or planner and write everything that I need to due that day or week
Another would be remind myself by putting alarms.

Jenni — Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar and thanks for your comment! Make-up therapy sounds fascinating! I never thought of make-up as therapeutic — thanks for opening my eyes to a new perspective! It sounds like using a planner and your phone with alarms (I love the alerts) is a way to combat possibly forgetting work that is due! I look forward to getting to know, working with, and learning from you during our time together!

I have a dog named Archie who you might see pop into my video during class. He has been super needy since I started school online, but he is so cute I can’t be mad! If anyone has tips for me, please share!
-What are 2 techniques you plan to use to manage your time in this on-line class (at least 1 technique should be from the video) ? What challenges could prevent you from using the techniques? How will you deal with those challenges?
I would say that checking open lab daily as well as reading through the syllabus carefully and referring back to it thorughout the course are two ways I plan to help me manage my time. So far I have loads of room for improvement! Challenges for that might be getting caught up on classes on blackboard and forgetting to switch over to open lab, and the temptation to procrastinate! I will deal with those challenges by establishing a routine of checking in on the course/syllabus and scheduling a specific time in my calendar just to work for this class.
Sarah — Thanks for your comment and introducing yourself! I look forward to hearing about your experiences at Gymboree Play and Music! I also can’t wait to meet Archie! Reading the syllabus — and the Paper & Project Guidelines will help you know the expectations for ECE 110-Seminar!

What will also help me is going over the syllabus to make sure that I undertsnad the requirements of this class. Something that will be challenging is that I tend to forget about open lab considering it is not on black board. I will however make sure that Icheck my emails to makesure im up to date with all my assignments.
Sarah — Thanks for your comment! I look forward to meeting Archie! I also hope to hear about the girls you are working with now and your time working at Gymboree Play and Music!

Meliza — Thanks for your comment! It’s great to meet you! A nice iced coffee is a great way to relax! Do you have a favorite place to get your iced coffee? Putting dates/ times on your phone, then setting alerts, helps me to keep track of due dates, etc. Distractions and becoming acclimated to online learning are hurdles; how will you address these challenges?
What is your preferred name and gender pronouns?
Elizabeth, She/her

What are 2 techniques you plan to use to manage your time in this on-line class (at least 1 technique should be from the video) ? What challenges could prevent you from using the techniques? How will you deal with those challenges?
Try to finish my work way before it’s due, in case something happens. I’ll try to keep up with all the dates, and be prepared. Not being organized, is a challenge. Have an organized schedule.
Elizabeth — Thanks for your post! Violin music can be calming and relaxing, so can natural and quiet places! I wonder, how will you create an organized schedule; what will that schedule look like?

Tell us 3 things you would you like us to know about you?

3. I love to play volleyball.
What are 2 techniques you plan to use to manage your time in this on-line class (at least 1 technique should be from the video) ?
One technique would be set reminders on my phone to let me know when my work is due. Always check open lab and blackboard to see any new updates.
What challenges could prevent you from using the techniques?
One challenge that can prevent me from using the technique is my computer because it lags a little. I don’t use my phone alot so it hard to check my reminders.
How will you deal with those challenges?
I will try to fix my computer or buy a new computer. I set alarm so I can check my phone.
Yoemili — Thanks for your comment! I wonder, where do you play volleyball? BMCC has a volleyball team, FYI! What do you like to take photos of? I wonder, what are some non-technology based techniques that you can use to be successful in an online course?
1. my name is Melany Melo and I go as she
2. im a curious person and like to ask questions when I don’t understand something, I’m a very friendly person and a hardworking person
3. I bought myself a student planner to keep track of my assignments and when they are due I’m always updating it and crossing things out so that I can know what I did and what I didn’t do. Also I try to motivate myself when im not in the mood to do my work. a challenge that I can face is not being organized or being in a loud room. I try to do my work at a different time or I go into a different room to complete my work
Melany — Thanks for your comment! Asking questions leads to life long learning! Being inquisitive is important when working with young children! Crossing off items from your planner/ to-do list gives you a sense of accomplishment! With everyone working from home, finding quiet places that don’t have distractions is tough!
I reviewed this module
Hello fellow peers. My name is Meriem Yousef but I prefer to be called by my nickname Medi. My name isn’t pronounced the way it looks and to best break it down: Med-ee-uhm. I do not go by pronouns but I do appreciate and think it’s very considerate that our professors acknowledge that maybe some students do, to ask this question because it is very important to make sure others feel comfortable and are respected.
I previously was in nursing school but was a nanny throughout that to help pay for school and decided to change my major to early childhood education because I was enjoying working with kids more than I was enjoying the nursing field. I did obtain my nursing assistant certification. I am now a personal CNA and tutor for a girl with special needs which is enjoyable to get to work with her because I would like to specialize in kids with special needs. I love running and exercising, during these tough times we’re locked inside all day and going on a run is a good stress reliver. I also like to journal a lot, its also another great stress reliever.
I was struggling to gain access to this course at first and now that I have access, I strive to get all my work done on time and set alarms and reminders for myself. I have never been fond of online classes just because of how easy it is to forget an assignment but I found that setting an alarm that will remind you to do your work will help. I also think it is super helpful to add when assignments are due on your calendar on your phone or computer so that it automatically alerts you. In a circumstance that causes me to face some difficulties, I will immediately reach out to a professor to help guide me through the issue.
Medi — Thanks for your comment and welcome to ECE 110-Seminar! I am excited you are part of our learning community!. I look forward to learning about your experience with children and the girl you are working with now. Using your calendar, with alarms and alerts is a great way to stay on top of work in an on-line course!

Two techniques I plan on using is 1) put reminders on my phone or laptop so I don’t forget about anymore assignments and 2) Just check my stuff everyday to see when things are due. Some challenges I may run into is my laziness or maybe internet connection. The way I will deal with those challenges is Motivate myself to do the work so I won’t have to worry about it and I can maybe sleep the rest of the day. If I were to lose connection I can always go to a close family members house to use there wifi or use my phone as much as I can.
Kayla — Thanks for your comment! Welcome to ECE 110-Seminar on Open Lab! What type of photography do you like? Creating reminders on my phone helps me to stay on top of tasks. Unstable internet is a problem that many people face now that everyone is on the internet for work, school, etc.
