Final Reflection

Reflection of Digital Applications

 

 

From my digital applications class, I have learned many new things that I will take with me throughout college and potentially to the workplace. I was familiar with many of the programs that we used in digital applications but there were a few things that I learned about and learned how to use.

One program we used that I found interesting and useful was Windows Live Movie Maker. I have never used this program before, nor did I know that I even had it on my computer. I found this program very useful and enjoyable. I really liked this program because it allowed me to use my own pictures very easily and also allowed me to be creative. I could use pictures, texts, voice recordings, videos, and music to personalize my video. I enjoy creative projects like this and I will without a doubt, be using this program again in the future. I have gained the knowledge of Windows Live Movie Maker by creating my “Best Friend” video.

Another thing that I will take away from digital applications is the use of survey monkey. I have not used this program either and I found it very easy to use. It was easy to navigate and it was free; free is always a plus. I have never created a survey before and I found it very interesting to use. I liked the fact that we were able to post our surveys to facebook; a site that almost everyone we know uses. I liked that we were able to see the results afterwards and survey monkey did not give us a time limit on anything. We could create, modify and gather the results easily and on our own time.

The final thing that I gained from this class was the use of blogs. I have never blogged before and I was exposed to a new way of communication. Blogging is a great way to express our thoughts and opinions on products, situations and experiences. I gained technological knowledge in digital applications that let me be creative but also informative. I will take this new knowledge with me throughout college and the workplace.
