Week 15 - The Final Blog

~This is the end~

Here it is, ladies and gentlemen.  Summertime is upon us.  This is the droid you have been looking for.  We've covered a lot this semester, and my multimedia knowledge and skills have grown more than I had expected to.... But first, a look at my final draft of my story!




What do we take with us?

Obviously, it would be nearly impossible to recount everything we have learned, when you also have it at your fingertips.  I will tell you the most remarkable things that I have learned:

  • First and most importantly, I have finally cracked and got into cloud computing.  I was skeptical about my information floating around in space somewhere, but it is just soooo much easier!  I think I will be sticking with Google+ for a while.
  • TED talks.  These are just incredible learning tools, and should be utilized by all professors.  With that being said, the various speakers sharing their experience has been a great takeaway.
  • Prezi has been a great addition to my repertoire, thanks to this course.  After becoming comfortable with it here, I was able to use it in three other courses.
  • Keeping it simple has been a bullet point all semester long.  Remember, we do not want to overload our audience.  Instead, feed them the information out of necessity.  
  • My last point, CREATIVITY.  This course has brought out a creative side of me that I have not tapped yet, and only have begun to scratch the surface.  I hope that in the future, I can take these lessons that I have learned and apply them in my career field when necessary.  I hope the rest of you can too!
Good luck everyone!
