Final Blog Entry
Team Swagger-Crystal Figueroa murder case
I learn so many things in class that I am amazed on how many things I know. I think at all the programs we learn PowerPoint was my favorite. I had fun working on a Mac computer and learn to actually like the computer because before the class I was all into Mac computers at all. I found myself missing the Mac computers in half of the quarter just because I like the programs that Mac has to offer like Garage Band. I had a blast doing my own tune in Garage Band I learn so much more than I expected. I learn so much things that you can do on certain programs that I wasn’t aware of. For example, in the beginning of the class my PowerPoint presentations were dull and boring. I had no idea that you can make a presentation fun and appealing to the eye. I found out that PowerPoint Presentations are a great way to get your point out to an audience .I started using PowerPoint for other classes and I think I can even type faster now. I feel very confident when using a computer and I feel lost without one because I love using one. I learn more than just programs but different ways to network online and how the internet works. I will know want to own my own Mac and continue to learn about computers and their programs although it’s hard to come across someone that can teach you both. I learn that you can pretty much use a computer to do anything and for anything like Access is great to have around and know how to use well when owning you own business. I would like to own all of the Office programs and feel the need to know very well for any career. I would no longer be shy to learn new programs but will want to so much more. I like using Publisher I feel that that program will come in handy and it’s a fun program to use. The next program I would like to learn is Photoshop.

Well what grade to I think I deserve? Midterm wasn’t so great, Attendance and Professionalism and I think I did fantastic. Final well have done all of it yet but the group project was okay. I did all my assignments and even though I was learning new things while I was doing them and I did struggle overall I think I did good. So I guess my grade would have to be an A-

My YouTube Experience

Well I never had a YouTube account so it was a very amusing experience creating an account and posting a video. I always knew about YouTube but I thought that some videos on their have no point. I do enjoy a good laugh that’s always fun and you can also learn through these videos. For example, I was doing research on this upcoming designer and I love visuals so what better way than hearing the information you need from the person you’re doing research on. Sometimes when you go online you hear different things about the person or a subject and it’s nice to have accurate information. My concept for my video was to do something funny since it had to be short. Who doesn’t enjoy a good laughs right? It nice to make fun of serious things and play with people’s emotions. I wasn’t serious at all on what I was saying in this video I was messing around and I hope I am not taking too serious. I wish that my video could have been clearer but what can you do? You can really understand what I am saying in the video and I guess that is kind of a good thing but you do get the idea I hope. I did like the fact that I pretended to punch my classmate and I did look very realistic. I came up with the idea very quickly having no prior experience ever shooting a YouTube video ever in my life. I did learn quite a few things don’t shot videos during class or people will get mad at you, talk loud, use your zoom in and zoom out button. When seeing videos don’t take them to serious because if you can’t make fun of yourself then you have no sense of humor.
