Gabrielle Adu-Akorsah’s Digital Detox

I chose options 2 and 4 for my digital detox. For option 2, I avoided using my phone for the first few hours after waking up each day, and this made my mornings more productive. For option 4, I put my phone on “Do Not Disturb” mode to focus on final projects for most of my classes. My friends always said I couldn’t live without my phone, but I proved them wrong—at least I got off to a good start this Thanksgiving. This detox helped me improve my attention span and made me realize I could enjoy activities like nature walks instead of constantly swiping on my phone. I plan to continue this detox for the long term.

Gabrielle Adu-Akorsah “Digital Divide: Comparing Access to Educational Technology in Ghana and the United States”

My project explores the digital divide between schools in Ghana and the United States, focusing on how access to technology impacts education. I created my storyboard using Microsoft Word, organizing everything in a table format, which helps me stay on track. The outcome is a clear, accessible layout that makes it easy for others to follow without adding complexity.

This project explores the challenges of accessibility on the College of Wooster campus. Comparing accessible and difficult-to-navigate areas reveals how much work remains to create an inclusive student environment. My goal is to raise awareness and advocate for improvements that can make the college more inclusive for everyone.
