WHAT I'VE LEARNED SO FAR

MODULE 7


Three takeaways from module 7:

In this module, I learned how important accessibility is for web pages. I know about other accessibility features that need to be addressed, but those are more for wheelchair or walker users, from my time working in a doctor's office that treats MS. I guess I hadn't thought about designing websites. Taking that into account, it should be at the forefront of everyone's thoughts when building sites. 

I also learned how to start building a website. This will be instrumental in my ongoing schooling and throughout my future career. I am so excited to have that foundation.

The last takeaway I'm going to list is how vital planning is when it comes to building a website. You need a plan to make it successful. If you go in and just "wing it", it's going to be so much more difficult!


FINAL THOUGHTS 




Throughout this semester, I have learned so much. At forty, with two kids and a full-time job, I wasn't sure I had it in me to go back to school and actually do well. This course gave me the confidence to know I can do it. I feel as though I gave it a lot of effort and time. The few assignments I didn't was because of health and family issues. The most important thing I got from this course (to me), however, was the confidence to continue on with my education.

What I've learned so far in DIG110      It is difficult to narrow down all I've learned in this first module to just three things. There is so much new technology out that I had no idea about! In doing research for my Canva project, I learned about Agentic AI. I knew what AI was but I had never heard of Agentic AI . Learning about was surprising, because while I knew that AI could do a lot of things, I didn't realize that it could be used on such a human level.      While looking through my fellow students projects there was so much more to learn. From rings that can track your fitness and whole body wellness to extended reality where you can seemingly enter a whole different world. The possibilities are endless!     After learning about where technology is going, I went back to where it started. In learning the history of the internet, I realized it had many more steps to get where it is now than I realized. Learning it really started in the 1950...

  WHAT I'VE LEARNED SO FAR Module 6 AR vs. VR vs. AI     The letters are similar; however, augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence are all vastly different.  Augmented Reality is adding some sort of media to a view of the actual world.   Virtual Reality is seeing a completely different setting around you using a headset.  Artificial Intelligence is a machine that can learn, in its simplest terms.

  WHAT I'VE LEARNED SO FAR MODULE 5  1. While going through this module, the thing that most surprised me was the sheer number of social media types. I knew about the big ones (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, etc.), but I didn't realize just how many different things are considered social media. Online communication and etiquette: I've been communicating online since AIM was popular, so I'm pretty familiar with the information in that area. (I also remember asking Jeeves questions, yikes!)       I know we learned about Diigo in the last module, but that really stands out as what I will take most from the social media section. I find that so helpful in so many different areas of my life.  2. I watched this when it was first posted, but after watching it again after recent life events, I have a new appreciation for the information Erik gave. I want my digital footprint to be all about making the world a better place. That is so cliché, but it has never b...
