Hello there...... Call me old-fashioned, but before this week's lesson on Chatbots and AI, I had always hated using the chat option on sites for customer service. I prefer to speak to someone one-on-one, as I believe it helps resolve issues quickly. This week, my college course assignments focused on learning about chatbots and generative AI. The instructor provided good information, but I wanted to learn more, so I decided to do some research independently.  One of the pages That I enjoyed reading was What is a Chatbot? Everything you need to know is from Shweta,  Kelly Main on Forbes. Should you want to read it yourself, here is the link. ( What Is A Chatbot? Everything You Need To Know – Forbes Advisor ) The article delves into the specifics of chatbots and their uses, including how to use them in a business setting.  So, let's dive in first to what a Chatbot is. A computerized program that acts as or simulates a human conversation to resolve issues or questions that a cust

  Attention all photo editing enthusiasts! If you thought you knew all the tips and tricks for enhancing your images, think again. A recent college course on instructional technology has revealed that there is still so much more to learn. Let’s start this post with the most interesting tool for image editing… Thankfully there is a tool that can capture a screen shot of a paragraph, the beauty of a photo, or the certain part of a message. This tool not only captures but also empowers you to edit the image size, add your own words, or highlight the most important spots. It's like a magic wand for your digital content.  But if you want more than just a basic photo, you can move on to the next powerful tool that I didn’t realize could do so much… Every millennial's favorite tool they learned in grade school...   As you can see, at first, I took a “Snipping Tool” image and then copied it over to PowerPoint to edit the image. While this was only a small add to the photo, Pow

Ironically, I would just be asked this week from a co-worker... "I really like that free and online training but it's hard to access it, can't we just copy it all and make our own?"   Shocked that this person would even think this would be OK to do, I gave him a weird facial expression, and then asked him what he knew copyright and fair use laws. In his mind, he only thought it was in regard to pictures and audio.   And then at that time, I figure it would be wonderful teaching moment.  I started off by educating him on "Copyright" ... If my own words... "Dave, let's say you created an image of the Teton mountains. You own all rights to that image. No one can now copy or use that photo for their own gain. " Or in a more official description for my online readers... "A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives the creator of an original work, or another right holder, the exclusive and legally secured right to copy, distribute,

  Before the start of this class, I had never heard of a PLN.  Anxious to learn more about what this would be and how it will  be beneficial to  me in my college class, I dive into the five blog posts shared for week one.  While each blog post intrigued me, the blog I enjoyed reading the most was the "3 Steps for Building a Professional Network." I believe I enjoyed reading this one the most because I am an individual who enjoys connecting with outs to have  deep  enlightening conversations that help with self-growth. While I  normally  enjoy connecting with people face to face, over the last few  years  I have wanted to develop and improve on communication with others online, especially to understand and learn from more people in this world outside of those whom I work with.  Finding the people you want to connect with and grow from is crucial and step one in the blog post to building your professional network. This step is something that I realized is something I already do

 Welcome to my blog! KashMindset Kashmindset you may wonder...      For a long time, I have always wanted to either create a blog or page that is geared towards keeping a positive mindset through easy or hard times. So, when I was tasked for a college course to create something, I figured why not make it for what I have always wanted to do. So, here we go...      A little about me: My name is Kashia Hale. Working Momma of 3 girls who is back to chasing her dreams in the career world.
