Over the course of the semester, I’ve learned a whole lot about the Internet and most of everything it has to offer all thanks to my Online Communications Class.We started from scratch like learning the basic internet language called HTML to creating our very own website/electronic portfolio. At the beginning of the class year, I did terrible, but as the year progressed I did better and my knowledge increased. We covered many different things in class and all of that transitioned to some of my projects. A skill I’ve been using throughout this class is just taking what I learn from my instructor and apply it to everyday things I do on the computer. Before I didn’t know what HTML, Widgets, or even Javascript was, but now I have a better understanding, and to top that I’ve learned how to use the EduBlogs wordpress blog pretty well. Most importantly, dedication and hardwork are demonstrated in some of my work that I’ve completed.
My first two projects were done poorly and one was incomplete. I learned the steps and lessons on what to do for my technology autobiography, but I didn’t really have sufficient time to do it, and I didn’t understand it really clearly. It ended up being half way done, with only images and no audio. My second project was the same case, but it was completed but had many errors in it. We used Windows media encoder to record a video tutorial on how to use Windows Photostory, I thought we did a good job , but it was inapproriate for viewing so there is no link for it. By far the task that i’m most proud of is the creation of my advisor’s website which can be found here and my own website (which you are on now). I did it all of its content completely on my own, with the help of my instructor and advisor. My previous projects affected my grade immensely, so I knew I had to put it alot of effort and hardwork to get a better grade. After this class is completed, I’m still going to expand my knowledge of the internet and learn as much as I can. These few months can be described as challenging, difficult, and most of the time joyful.
The project I am most proud of is my advisor’s website. I did all the required things, and I tried my best to make it very useful to my teacher. I stayed afterschool, spent hours working on the website, trying to make it more personalized to her liking. Its full of interesting things relating to her curriculum and I think it’ll be very useful for her in the future. The regular things I’ve learned in Online Communications helped alot with the development of my advisor’s blog. I’ve encorporated 3rd party applications, Widgets, Games etc. for her.
Final Thoughts?
I dont have any questions about the lessons or the projects.
