Fast forward to the last year of the program. The end was near with only one more major challenge to conquer – the dissertation. My proposal had been approved and cleared all institutional review boards. As I prepared my participant agreement forms, I was concerned about the most effective mode of communication to list on the forms. As I spoke with classmates and mentors, another Google application was introduced – Google Voice. After additional research, I discovered that Google Voice provided the establishment of a voice line with message capabilities. It was easy to configure and activate. No more worries about personal contact information on flyers or lack of reachability if needed.

In finalizing my forms and thinking about attractive visual advertisement, using Pinterest as a source of inspiration proved to be an asset. Pinterest allowed me to create virtual clipboards to gather ideas for potential products. Additionally, sharing boards on Pinterest with my mentors allowed for a more creative display of ideas that was quick to navigate, easy to share, and elicit feedback. Who knew? Using this application on a mobile phone could be effective for entertainment and professional work.
