Final Reflection

     Over the course of this semester in Digital Applications class I have learned a lot about various different computer programs. This class has really furthered my knowledge and helped me a lot. Going into this class I knew a decent amount about different programs, and this class really taught how to fully take advantage of all the features of these programs.

     Most of all Digital Applications has helped me learn all about the various programs that are part of Microsoft Office. Before this class I knew how to use Microsoft Word to write papers. But now I can use it for so much more, like making flyers for events. Also, I have learned a lot about Microsoft PowerPoint. I went into this course knowing how to put together basic PowerPoint presentations with bullet points and pictures. But after taking this course I now know how to add music, embed videos, put different transitions into new slides and even put music over the whole slideshow.

     Before this class started I had never used Microsoft Publisher before, and now I can use it like a pro. After learning to use Publisher to make a pamphlet in Digital Apps, I knew how to do all sorts of things like add borders, edit picture backgrounds, etc.; all vital parts in making a great pamphlet.

In Digital Applications this past semester I was required to make a digital storytelling project. This project got me to learn how to use the iMovie program, which I had never used before, on my Macbook. This program will definitely be helpful in the future for projects or any occasion that requires me to make a video. In this program I learned how to add pictures, video, voiceovers, and how to lay music over the whole thing.

     So, as you can see, this class has taught me a lot about vital programs on the computer that I thought I knew a lot about already. The knowledge I have gained in this class with definitely help me in the rest of my career at Nichols College and my professional career in the future. Thank you Professor Fleury-Lawson.
