Course Reflections

This course helped me to understand free tools that are available and so useful to the things I do everyday. I have had to make presentations for things before and the whole time I wondered, why would anyone bother with this it is so boring. What is the point even, this format is so tired and no one will pay attention anyway. But this course showed me other ways that really have made it possible to bump up my game. I already used Prezi to make a presentation for a wine and Cheese Pairing class that I do with a friend, and he was floored. Took it back to all of his buddies at Cabot and they could not believe how great it looked compared to the silly old things they used to use. I also got over my skepticism of Could services. I love them now. I got a new computer half way through the semester and realized that this way I can just transfer everything to google photos and access it from my phone or tablet as well. It is really a Brave new world. I also met with plenty of the Usual frustrations that I always feel when working with technology. Sometimes I feel like in the pursuit for everything to be streamlined they make it very hard to use. None the less I am very pleased to have learned and feel as though I can further my learning in the area of Computers and Technology.
