My Final Reflection

So it is the end of the semester and the end of my freshmen year here at Nichols College. That being said, I want to share a few things I have learned in Digital Apps. The first and foremost thing that I've learned in Digital Apps was how to map a blog. My blogs, including the one you are reading right now, was all made possible by Googles blogger.com. With it, I have wrote about a variety of topics. These topics included my favorite things, my hometown, how to pump your own gas, and much more. Because of blogger, I was able to share all different kinds of information about myself. Not only that but I was also able to learn about other people in the class by reading and commenting on their blogs. In Digital Apps, I also perfected my skills with Microsoft Powerpoint. By taking part in the Decade project, I was able to put together different pictures, audio files, video clips, and animations. This made my groups presentation of the 90's more professional and also more informative. Because of my new skills with Powerpoint, I am now able to give better projects and presentations. But to me, the biggest thing I learned to do in class was how to make a video project and how to upload it to YouTube. I have had a YouTube account for about six years now, and I have never uploaded a video before, The fact that the first video I uploaded was a project that I produced, directed, and edited, full of music and pictures, made it all that more important. Without this project, I might still be living under a rock in regards to YouTube uploading. Now if I have anything I want to share with the world, I have all the necessary information to finally make my own video. Or at the very least upload someone else's. Their are plenty of other things that we have gone over in class. These include Excel worksheets, polls, and more. But overall, I gained a better understanding of how technology works. Sure, their were things that I already knew. But with these programs, I perfected and advanced what I already knew about them. As I get older, technology is only going to become more advanced. The best I can do is keep up, and by doing so help those that don't know what they are doing. Im proud of the work I did in class, and hope Ill retain what I learned.
