What I learned from this course is how to finally
use technology to my best advantage. For instance: I learned how to create my
personal blog post, also, I learned how to use coding with Chrome with the
installments of the app. There are so much things that this course taught me as
a individual about the internet which seemed to be a foreign language at first.
But, now I know what HTML, and CSS, stands for and how to create with
JavaScript. JavaScript was actually my favorite part of the course learning how
to do animations, I felt as though I was a web site designer. However, the most
profound insight that I have gained from this course is success. If one wants
to be successful they should know the basics of the internet. One can not get
hired by a job if they do not have technical skills.
Therefore, the first important lesson that I learned
from this course is that digital skills been around for a long time and it is
only growing more drastically and freely. For example: smartphones (Iphone,
Blackberrys, Galaxy’s and etc.), laptops (Apple Macbooks, Asus, Toshiba and
etc.) or desktop PC’s, tablets, the list goes on but all are apart of the
growth of digital skills. The second important lesson I learned this semester
is that digital skills can be complicated but one can succeed with the right
help. The last important lesson I learned is technology is only increasing and
one has to be updated with their technical gadgets. Especially, in the work
force one has to have the ability to use some aspect of digital skills.
However, the specific actions I plan to take in college so, that I am better
prepared for a professional career is simple. I plan to take more computer
skills courses to learn more about the digital age. Taking this course was only
the first step to learning how to utilize technology.
