Overview

Upon reflection of my experience with CT101, I am astounded by the abundance of abilities and information I have acquired in the field of media and technology. This last blog entry functions as a narrative summary of my experiences in the course, a self-evaluation of the grade I think I deserve, and an explanation of how I intend to use my newly acquired abilities in the real world.

 Acquiring Knowledge and Development

 I knew a little bit about coding before I started CT101, but this course really elevated my understanding. I experimented with a variety of artistic mediums and software, with making GIFs being a particular highlight. Making GIFs might not be your thing as a career.

Building and Using Websites

Learning how to create a website was one of CT101’s main highlights. I’ve been able to establish a space for my online presence thanks to the methods and resources made available by websites like Academic Commons and WordPress. Having a personal website is essential for hosting and exhibiting my work as a journalism student.

I’ve utilized skills like hyperlinking and media input extensively, which not only enhanced my assignments but will also be invaluable in maintaining and updating my personal website. While I had prior knowledge of HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript, WordPress has streamlined the process, making it more efficient and automated.

Grade and Attendance

Self-Evaluation: B-

I believe I deserve a B- for several reasons. Despite facing challenges attending in person, the availability of Zoom recordings proved instrumental in keeping me on track. I acknowledge a certain level of improvement and growth throughout the semester. Deducting 10 marks for attendance, I feel a B- reflects my overall performance.

Applying Skills to the World

Immediate Application

The skills acquired in CT101 are not confined to the classroom. I plan to immediately apply my newfound knowledge to enhance my personal website, creating an engaging space to showcase my journalistic work.

Long-Term Application

I aim to use these talents in my future profession as the media and technology world continues to change. In the fast-paced world of media, having the capacity to produce engaging and aesthetically pleasing material is highly valued.

Finalization of the Work

In order to give you a thorough rundown of my voyage, I’ve put together a collection of supplementary photos, GIFs, videos, and links to all of my previously published blog pieces. Together, these pieces demonstrate the wide variety of abilities and experiences that were acquired throughout the course of the semester.
