What can you learn in a short four week class? Aparrently it is possible to fit in a lot of information and skills into an incredibly short amount of time.
This module opened me up to things I probably never would have used and am now able to use well. I never kept a blog and this class taught me how to post and upload pictures or videos. By the end of the module, I was pretty happy blogging instead of typing out papers each week. I liked the mix of text and pictures. It left room for more creativity than our first module.
Diigo showed me that you can bookmark sites and share them with other people. I didn’t even know that site existed until the first day of this module. It was fun to look for sites that I found interesting and bookmark them for future reference.
Netvibes was another enjoyable project. I liked that the whole think could be customized to fit your personality. After a few tries, I finally go the hang of adding widgets and creating tabs to sort my stuff. It made it easy to check up on all daily websites at once, instead of visiting each one separately.
Finally, the portfolio is indispensible. I am definitely one to be organized. I always have separte folders and notebooks for class. I try to keep things color coded. The portfolio was a great way to keep track of everything I am doing and will complete for the writing arts major.
Though I was apprehensive about starting this module, I found that it was enjoyable and taught me things I probably never would have learned otherwise.
