Reflection
Hey everyone, by taking this Emerging Communication Technology course I have gained many skills in the newest and most relevant programs on the market today. I feel more equipped to go into the professional world and be able to make positive contributions at any company that I work with. I have learned and become proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Audacity, Wix, Weebly and Dream weaver. In blog post three I mentioned an Emerging Technology program called Foursquare. Since the initial researching of that program I haven't used it too much. Although if I ever go to a new city or area I am not familiar with I will definitely be using Foursquare.
Blogging
Creating and maintaining a blog has been a very interesting experience. In order to effectively maintain a blog it takes a substantial amount of work with very frequent post. You have to figure out how to keep your audience engaged and make them want to come back and read what you have to say. You have to really know the audience that you are going after and make sure to adapt your messages appropriately.
Highlights
I really enjoyed learning how to use audacity to create and edit Podcast. It was fun to mess around with the vocal pitch and tone in order to make the voice sound exactly how you want it. It was also very eye opening to see just how much you could change what someone sounds like in the Audacity program. Another thing that I really enjoyed was learning how to use Photoshop and InDesign. Knowing the basics of these programs is a very valuable skill that many employers are seeking.
