My Overall Experience

Overall this class has been a great learning experience for me. I have learned so much that I didn’t know before and feel like I could apply all of this in my future at some point. I feel like I have gotten a lot out of this class and have gained so much more knowledge about the technology that is developing in our world. Going into this class I wasn’t sure how well I would be, having little to no experience on web publishing and how things worked. I have accomplished more than I had expected to and have enjoyed it along the way. From the simplest to the more difficult assignments I have gained more knowledge about how it all goes together and how other people get their information out to us. It’s amazing how things can be viewed from one end of the world to another with just a few simple steps.

                During this course I think my favorite module we did was the Wikki assignment. Although it wasn’t as involved as some of the other things we did, I still enjoyed being able to make one. I learned what a wikki meant and why people find them useful to use. I think during my duration of schooling I can find this to be one of the more useful ways of web publishing for my classes. I will be able to apply this to future assignment or even group projects for certain classes and be able to work with everyone at different times. It’s very useful knowing that everyone doesn’t have to be present at one time in order to work on a project. It’s always difficult to get everyone in one place at a certain time.

                During this course I think my least favorite module was the HTML assignment. Not necessarily because it was more difficult than the others but mostly because this is something I would less likely use in my future. Even though it is still very useful to know, and you never know when you might need it. It’s more work to put together, you have to put in a code for every single thing you want to include on your webpage. It’s a long drawn out process and not something you want to do when you have little time and want to get something out across to everyone. It was very interesting to learn, knowing how most of the sites that we go to run and how they are put together.

                In the future I feel that I will more than likely use something like the Google Docs, or the Wikki Page, or even the blogging. These will be more useful in my future when communicating with a group of people or if it is just to express myself in my free time. The HTML and the WYSIWYG assignment was a great learning experience also, you never know when you might end up having to use those tools for anything in the future.
