Reflections on Our Class

Film and Media in a Digital Age Fall 2009 at Hunter College has been a magnificent experience because it would have been impossible for me to learn all of this information by myself. When I started this course I knew nothing about blogging, HTML, CSS and Photoshop, and then my knowledge of it has grown tremendously. I could never imagine having my own webpage; now I see myself in the stamp that I designed and in the blog that we built.
On the internet and even in the class we are so close to each other but so distant at the same time. Each one of us worked in the labs with Cristina and it was like dreaming because she retrieved each one of our blogs. It was exciting to see everybody’s work!
This blogging business has shown me that there are even more ways of expressing myself; in media reaching this point in technology it is as rewarding as it is scary. I realize that if we put our information on the internet, anybody can have access to it, and this can be positive, but also very dangerous. So, this has taught me to be more careful about what information I provide.
We posted clips of movies, music, our own photos and the stamp. The stamps made by students in the last lecture were very creative. I think all of us were having fun in the Digital Age class. We learned things that, in this age, are necessary because technology is improving so rapidly and is so important to our education and careers. So, this class was a very valuable experience for me.
I would also like to say that it could not be possible for me to transfer to HTML videos, sites and picture without the technical support of Mr. Rashaan; hopefully next semester we can have his presence in the Labs because he an expert and we can learn a lot from him.

And speaking of new technology- google The Onion News "Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop with No Keyboard"
It seems pretty silly to us now, but you never know what technology will come out next...
