Final Reflection

In this Digital Applications class I have learned so many new things that I did not know that I could do. I learned more a lot about Microsoft Word, Microsoft Powerpoint, and Microsoft Exel. I also learned how to write blogs about myself and other topics. I also found out how to make my own webpage and put all of my information onto it and put pictures and edit it so that it was perfect and how to make brochures. I even made a slideshow with pictures, music and transitions and I had to upload it to youtube, which I have never done before.

I really enjoyed this class because now I know how to do a lot more on the computer and I can use my knowledge of using these applications to help other people. My three big takeaways were writing blogs, making slideshows, and making power points.
I loved writing blogs about certain topics because I got to express myself and I put up whatever photos I wanted. I even expanded more on other peoples blogs by commenting on them and telling them my input.
When I heard that we had to make up a slideshow I got really excited because all throughout middle school I would play around and make little slideshows but I also never really knew what I was doing but when I made mine this time I knew exactly what I was doing. I learned how to put all the music in it and cut it where I wanted to and I also put special transitions in it. I have to say this one was my favorite project.
Another takeaway was making the power points. This class helped me really expand on how to put hyperlinks and how to put videos and pictures into it. I also learned how to make a professional slide show and an ePortfolio.

I am very happy that this was a requirement here at Nichols College, because if it wasn't I probably would not have taken it and I would not have learned so much from it.
