Adobe Education Exchange (Design Courses Continued)

First things first…Happy New Year!!!

I pray this year, 2020, will bring more prosperity than last year.

With that being said, in this post I would like to share with you a site that has a lot of resources involving EdTech (Education Technology). I use it for teaching purposes as well as a way to continue to enhance my digital skills. Adobe Education Exchange is a free professional development and resources site owned by Adobe, the leading design software company with well known softwares such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Adobe Education Exchange is similar to MOOC courses like EdX and Coursera but do not charge a fee. Upon completion of the course you will receive a digital badge and a certificate of completion via a pdf file.

I’ve taken quite a few courses and workshops and find this site at the top of my list when it comes to online learning. Most importantly because I use Adobe Creative Cloud software everyday its good to know I can go to their site and find these tutorials or go deeper and take a course.

Though Adobe Education Exchange is geared towards educators I feel their intro workshops and self-paced courses can benefit anyone who is looking to enhance their creative skills with Adobe.

Adobe Education Exchange can be found here.

Gotta Get Next To You

msbrittanyg

Love at first sight, nah I guess it was really lust
Too many eyes and ears to voice my feelings, not knowing who to trust
You were so fine, and smelled so good, huge plus
I gotta get next to you, oh yes, I must
I’m gonna make my move, no turning back from this,
All I really wish, is to be laced by those lips, With a juicy kiss…..
…….just what I expected, like dots we connected,
That kiss was bliss, forgot about our lives being so hectic
Hopefully we can turn this into more than just a side thing
A kiss turning into love, no longer a fling
But until then, I’ll just reminisce about our little time together
A short moment of passion, will remain in my mind forever…

My Music, My Life

msbrittanyg

Music has always been a part of my life. Growing up in a church where my grandfather was the founder and pastor, my aunts, cousins and sister were singers and my late father who played the organ, I had no choice but to embrace music.My father taught a lot of people how to play the keys like my older sisters and brothers. Unfortunately, he passed when I was five months old so never got to hear him play growing up. But how ironic is it that two of my good friends learned how to sing and play the keys from their late mentor, who was taught by my father, Small world, right?

I remember the first time I knew I had some singing skills…I was like nine, ten years old. I would run this same cassette tape – Voices “Yeah Yeah Yeah”. I knew I drove my brothers and sisters crazy! Lol, I even wrote a song called, “No,No,No”. That was the 1st of many songs, poetry and short stories that were to come.

It wasn’t until about 2 years later that I let my friends hear my skills. I was roller-skating with two of my good friends Tamika & Ta-Sheeba and we started singing “Weak” by SWV (Sisters With Voices). Ever since then it was has been nothing but music, music and music.

All throughout Junior High School and High School, I was a part of choirs,  singing groups, and plays. You name it, I’ve done it, including an audition video for Apollo Amateur Night with my friends in the 5th grade. (Real Love – Mary J.)

I was also in a gospel group that just recently disbanded. One of the songs we had (my fav- Total Praise), is attached to this entry. (I’m leading the chorus….) . Even though things didn’t go the way we wanted them to go in the group, it was still a part of my life and I actually still have a connection to the songs….

Though I don’t write songs like I used to, I still sing with my church’s choir, and 2 community choirs.  Music will always be a part of my life and when I have children I will definitely share my love for music with them and hopefully it will be a part of their lives too.
