Since joining as a freshman, I&#8217;ve gained extensive knowledge about various software tools, and I&#8217;m&nbsp;currently endeavoring to carve out a niche for myself in the realms of finance, business, and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on this specific year, I recognize significant growth and a newfound awareness of areas for further development. Upon reviewing my goals and semester journals, I can discern how I&#8217;ve acquired new skills, tackled challenges, and identified areas for improvement. I began the year by focusing on refining my PowerPoint skills. While initially grappling with defining a structured learning path, I turned to YouTube tutorials to deepen my understanding of its advanced features. Subsequently, I dedicated time to relearning RStudio\u00a0in preparation\u00a0for an upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/r-studio-for-beginners\/\">workshop<\/a>.\u00a0Although the workshop\u00a0itself\u00a0was successful, I fell short of meeting the advertised deadlines, highlighting a need for improvement\u00a0in meeting deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the fall semester progressed, I delved into learning Notion, exploring its applications for academic planning, note-taking, and project management, including Notion AI. This exploration continued into the spring semester, culminating in my delivery of a Notion for Planning and Note taking Workshop. While the workshop was satisfactory, I realized the importance of over-preparing and avoiding assumptions about attendees&#8217; technical proficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/05\/edtech_1-1024x405.png\" alt=\"An image of a notion database \" class=\"wp-image-44688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/05\/edtech_1-1024x405.png 1024w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/05\/edtech_1-750x297.png 750w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/05\/edtech_1-768x304.png 768w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/05\/edtech_1-1536x608.png 1536w, https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/05\/edtech_1-2048x811.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the spring semester, I\u00a0also seized the opportunity to gain\u00a0a macro overview of Generative AI and its workings through a LinkedIn learning course.\u00a0Additionally, I contributed to the team by working on a post about the Outlook scheduling poll feature for our <a href=\"https:\/\/inside.wooster.edu\/technology\/category\/tech-tip\/\">Tech Tips<\/a>. Overall, my experience as an STA this year has been invaluable. I&#8217;ve acquired technical skills, led workshops, and gotten insights from my experiences. Looking ahead in terms of growth, I intend to improve\u00a0my time management skills to ensure I achieve all my goals. I am eager to continue leveraging and developing my skills to support students in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From a broader perspective, my entire journey with the EdTech team has been an immense learning curve.
