Thursday, September 10
5:00 - 6:15 p.m.

Your first year of college is a time of great personal growth and change. When you are busy managing classes and adjusting to a new environment, it can be hard to find time to stop and reflect on this change. Reflective practice is a valuable skill for wellbeing and can even improve your learning. In this session you will learn how you can use PebblePad, Ohio State’s ePortfolio platform, to develop a habit of reflective practice.Take some time for yourself to engage in personal reflection while gaining hands-on experience with the creative options in PebblePad. PebblePad is used by students in Honors and Scholars, the GE Launch Seminar, and other in-class and out-of-class experiences across campus.
