It would be interesting to see the relationships between the apps themselves and take note of which one&#8217;s complement other apps and which ones are reliant on other apps for their own desired functionality. Perhaps a question for further down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will briefly discuss a few of my choices and feel free to view some additional mapping components I looked at in the <a href=\"http:\/\/s=1&amp;frameId=3458764523838223628\">link<\/a> following this blog. Email for me is heavier in the institutional section, though I use email in practically all areas of my life, it is the pure quantity of email communication that gives it its position. In addition, email to me is fairly resident, it can be retrieved and it leaves both an impression and a fingerprint. Video conferencing is essential for my work. I have used it to connect to personal contacts in the past but nothing in comparison to how reliant I am on virtual meetings at work. Google Drive is how I store absolutely everything. I included other items such as online banking and investment apps, social media and Amazon however for the most part organizing these into a relational space was much more straightforward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because I had the opportunity to read Dave Cormier\u2019s blog before, during and after doing the activity, I found myself considering Cormier\u2019s model of what it means to look at ones whole \u201cpractice rather than the digital stuff\u201d (Cormier, 2018) and this had me considering and eventually adding tools such as google maps, my camera and even amazon; which allowed me to really examine the tools in my day to day life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Reference<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cormier, D.
