My EDM 310 Blog Assignments are Now Complete

I have learned a lot in this class. I started this class with the basic skills to run a computer. Most of the things I learned in this class were how to find programs to do what I needed to do. I had always wanted to make a website but I just didn't know how to go about doing it; now I know.

I really didn't care for Google Docs. I don't like having to rely on the internet to work on my school stuff. My internet could be down, Google could be down and there are a number of reasons in the programing of the Docs that I didn't care for. I did like Google's website builder, but this could be because it is the only one I have ever used. My main complaint about the webiste project was that Google was very slow. I had a large website and Google took way to much time in closing the current page and going back to the main website manager site. Otherwise the website was my best project and I put a lot of time into it. My least favorite thing we did in this class was the weekly Blog posts. I found them to be a huge waste of time.

I never had to use the instructional videos but they seemed like a good idea. Dr.Strange had the idea that he would just burn CDs for his next class and have question classes where no actual lecturing goes on. I see pros and cons for that idea. Pro, the students have a back up for when the need help. Con, students wouldn't come to class and at the end of the semester all the slacker students would come to class and expect to have everything taught to them.
