I have a difficult time teaching myself how to create a website, especially when I know it can be used for future employers. I did a bit of editing, added a new picture, as well as add more information about my past work experience and about myself. The final e-portfolio can be viewed here.
As far as the class as a whole, there were parts I truly enjoyed. I did my senior comprehensive project on social networking, so when we focused on Twitter, Linked In and Facebook as ways of communicating, I was all ears. I was excited to learn new information about these sites as well as how these sites will change and develop as the years go on. When it came time to creating our own projects using websites such as Screentoaster as well as Slideshare, I found myself completely and utterly lost. I am a visual learner but learning from a tutorial I found does not always help. A more interactive learning environment would have been more stable for my learning style.
I am thankful for the sites and applications we explored further, such as Picnik, as well as Slideshare. It gave me more of an opportunity to learn about the history of TOMS Shoes which I chose as my semester long research project. I would love to work for that company one day, and if I do, I will have some bonus information to share with them when that day comes.
I also became a fan of searching for various blogs through Holy Kaw. For those of you who have not given it a go, please check it out. There is a blog for every person out there, based on your favorite topics, as well as the most absurd topics. Maybe one day, with our gained knowledge on Web 2.0 from Web Communication, we will all have a website featured on Holy Kaw. ... One can only dream.
Overall I enjoyed my time spent in Web Communication and look forward to all the updates technology will bring to my world in the years to come.
That's a wrap.
