1B Social Resource Process
Yes I finally did it, I have now created my website page for task 1B :)
I have put in some long hours trying to play catchup to finish my assement which is due Friday, but feel I now have it under controle. I found that most of my time was wasted on tryiny to get things to link and work and also the playing with the layout of the page. The putting together of this assignment was a little challenging, as it was hard to link my idea with my channel, and the using of the correct words to explain my topic theme. I feel my website page has covered the elements of this assignment but still has some room for improvement.
I learnt lot's of wonderful new things such as Youtube being more than a place to watch clips but one were you can become a member and create your own channel adding your favourite clips. Once you are a member you can also comment like or dislike videos as well as subscribing to films and uploading your own videos. From discovering what Youtube has to offer I learnt how to download videos and save them to your computer so you can use them in a powerpoint. I also learnt that Yola has a widget that you can use to add a video from youtube to your website. From just exploring and using Youtube and the website Yola I learnt lots of new things and it has broaden my view and approach towards technology.
My feelings from this experience were a little mixed, technology can always present some frustration from me as sometimes things just dont work how you want them to. From my experience I was given the feeling of confidence in my ability to use and learn different social medias. I was happy with my achievment and end product and felt that the experience was a great challenge and has given me a sense of trust in that I can use and understand technology.
Unfortuantly I didnt have anything on my site for my peer review partner to review, sorry Isabella. But was able to make contact and asked for a second review. From doing this I did use some contact with a class peer, but having this link with others is a little difficult when you are an external student.
Thanks for reading my blog
Cheers Penny.
