Taking Advantage of Technology

 "Taking Advantage of Technology"

Technology is something that is consistently changing and can be hard to keep up to date with it considering how fast different mediums which fall under the umbrella of tech are advancing, from computer software to electric cars. All the technological tools listed on the module website seem very fitting for the module but also other areas of the course.

Blogging is listed as one of the tools that we will learn to use more to our benefit and education as we move into the coming weeks, right now all I would be using a blog for would be for updating my course work or reading up on interesting topics. I'm very familiar with "bookmarking", as I'm sure other students are as anyone you uses the internet for entertainment and especially shopping know what bookmarking is and how to use it to their benefit, like having your go to online shopping website marked on you're internet browser so all you have to do is click on it and it will bring you where you want to go.

This learning environment is a lot more community based than the rest of the modules we do in the course. Whether it's web design or digital video technique we are given work to do on the day, told the deadline then and there even if we are given the project late which did happen during first year. The fact that all the work that we have to do from now until the end of the semester is already there for use to do, that's not normal, normally we're given tasks each week whether we're cramming or waiting ffor the work to be given to us so we can get it done. It's just abnormal, and better than any of the ways the other lecturers are delivering their work.

Graphics is something really new to me, that's a field I'd love to explore a bit more to see if I'd be interested. I haven't heard of any of the tools listed under the graphics on the cdm site, such as Canvas or "Cheezeburger", and I've only heard of "Unity3D" and "WordPress" because of Shaun mentioning it in class. It seems like a very exciting new skill to learn about with a broad range of avenues to explore.
