Final Thoughts....

I never thought I would say this about ANY class, but I am very sorry this semester has ended. I have had the best instructors since enrolling at USA, and Mr. Tashbin is certainly no exception. When I enrolled in EDM 310, I expected a class that was a little tedious, mainly because it dealt with computers. I was told, by other students, that the class was all about how to use software, something I am fairly good at already. I geared up for a semester of boredom and repetition, learning how to create basic documents and spreadsheets. I am happy that I was wrong!

We have done so many fun and interesting things this semester. Here are my top three favorites...

1. Hands down, my favorite was creating and posting to my blog. Blogs enable us to throw our opinion out there for all to see. It enables viewers to comment, be they agree or disagree, on whatever you have opined on.

2. Next was the TECHNICAL side of pod casting. I will admit, I cringed when I saw my picture up on Dr. Strange's Blog. I did not enjoy hearing my voice on our podcast. I did, however, really enjoy the cutting and pasting of tracks.

3. I enjoyed learning about all of the "new" applications my computer is capable of. I never knew that there was so much "stuff" out there. Prior to this class, my computer was used only for typing papers, surfing the 'net, and e-mailing. Now, I know all about blogging, pod casts (listening and creating), and Twitter. Most importantly, I know if I like them or not.

It is sad this semester is over, because I am sure that there's a wealth of information about my computer (and it's uses) that I have not learned. However, I will not be afraid to try a new use when I hear about it.
