So here I am; last blog post of the semester. What an exciting and challenging semester its been. This course has taught me so much and perhaps more importantly, I've pushed myself to step far out of my digital comfort zone. Am I an expert now? Absolutely not, but I do have a better understanding and appreciation for web 2.0 concepts and tools - and perhaps that's a good starting point. I would like to thank Vanessa and Omer for being incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the semester. There were definitely times when I felt lost, but they always provided prompt and helpful advice. I really appreciated the renewable credit option also! Also, thank you to my classmates who posted consistently interesting blogs that were super fun to read and respond to. I hope I got to everyone! Take care everyone!
We've covered so many tools in this class so far, and though I doubt I will end up using most of them following completion of this course, there are some that I've found especially helpful and intend to explore further in the future. For example, I'm really enjoying Reddit right now, both for the multitude of different topics available and the breadth and depth of responses to questions or thoughts that people post. Likewise, I'm finding a lot of useful information and functionality on Twitter that I was heretofore unaware of. I can definitely see myself using both of these tools well after the completion of this class. Conversely, some tools, don't really speak to me. Instagram for instance appears to be based around images and I'm more of a wordy gal. Still, I'm glad I'm aware of it and the potential it has to reach a specific audience. I'm curious, what tools do you see yourself using/not using beyond this course, and why?
