e-Communication EOY Reflection

During my first year of e-Communication at Olathe Northwest High School I have learned many new skills. One of them being how to create an animation with different slides. Another being how to create a website on DreamWeaver.

I learned each of these new skills by using multiple applications such as DreamWeaver, Photoshop, Sketchup and Illustrator. Each of these can be used together to create a wonderful project that can be shown to friends and family.

This is important to learn these skills because you will use them everyday in your life. Whether you want to be an illustrator, an author, or many other careers, you will most likely use these skills one in your lifetime.

My weaknesses are probably Sketchup. It is hard or me to get an idea and straight out create a 3D figure mimicking what I see in my head. But my strengths would be Photoshop and DreamWeaver. I am very good at code as I learned this year, and also creating websites. Photoshop comes easy to me because I have always been good at editing photos.

With the things I have learned I am going to better myself at reaching my goal to reach my career. I want to be an author who makes their own book cover. I also would like to be a photographer. I can take these skills and use them to create a wonderful thing.

      The main point of this article is to convey the point that what you say or do on the Internet follows you throughout your life. Whether it be when you're thirteen or when you're twenty-four, your actions leave something like a digital footprint that colleges can track. Not only can colleges track your digital footprints, but your friends and family can too.       A quote that surprised me would be: "Students' social media and digital footprint can sometimes play a role  in the admissions process" because I thought they only checked what you posted recently, not past posts and I would have never thought it would affect you getting into college.       A quote that confused me was: "Perhaps she hadn't realized that colleges keep tack of their social media mentions" because wouldn't she have talked to her parents and would have known they would be looking at them? Why did she post things she knew were wrong in the first place? ...

Final Reflection (Video Production)

What is one valuable takeaway you learned from each guarantee?           I learned Project Management as my most valuable takeaway from E-Comm. I learned it by having to work in groups with a large project and a limited amount of time. It was important because when I go to college and even throughout my high school years I will need to lean to make schedules and time manage my projects. The challenges I faced was sticking to the plan and not procrastinating by changing the plan every few days. I had to learn to stay consistent. What are your greatest strengths/what are your greatest weaknesses?           My greatest weaknesses are time management and accuracy/quality. I can do very well with hands-on projects, but when it comes to computers or internet projects I do not do very well. I am a very visually physical learner so if I am not able to touch/highlight anything I will do much worse. My greatest strengths are producing scrip...
