Technology and me

Before this class, my main methods of social media were Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Now, I know how to make and post on a blog. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and it seems like it might be fun. I've still never created a website, but the idea sounds very interesting. Regarding bookmarks, I currently have far too many for my poor bookmark bar to hold. It's funny that creating a folder of bookmarks for this class is mentioned because I did that earlier today.

Image editing is a passion of mine. I love cropping or rotating a picture to focus in on the important parts. I really enjoy manipulating color and lighting to get the best from a picture. I could spend hours doing this. I believe I have also used a graphics creator app before. I'm familiar with the idea but it's not something I do often. However, I'm not sure how I feel about adding audio. In some instances I think it could enhance a post, but I'll have to wait and see how it goes.

Something I'm really glad I've already learned from this course is how to include links. In the past, I might have copied and pasted the address for a page in parentheses. Using the links make a post look much more professional and clean. There's nothing in particular that I'm looking forward to learning (technology-wise) this semester, but I am excited to see what I will know how to do at the end of the course.

The tone of this online course is completely different from any of those I've taken in the past. For other courses, all of the posts felt forced and uninterested. The ones I've seen here are fun and interesting to read. It's like the people writing them actually enjoyed the assignment. What a crazy idea.
