This blog was a assignment for my Fundamentals of Digital Media class and I really enjoyed doing it. The purpose of the class was to expand our knowledge of the digital world, doing all sorts of activities involving social media, programming and the like. I love to talk about my hobbies, especially card games. While I prefer talking about my hobbies in video format, being pushed to do it in a blog style was really interesting and enjoyable. We were given many tools to use with this assignment and I would like to go over some of them, as well as my overall experience with both the class and assignment.

While we mainly used WordPress in class, we we’re given other resources to expand our knowledge. Social media promotion was heavily encouraged with all our blog posts. I chose to use Twitter to share my blog post, but other social media sites and apps were available such as Instagram, Facebook, etc. These were useful for casting a larger net in order to drive as much traffic as possible for our blog. We were also introduced to website building with HTML. While it was different from the coding experience I’ve had prior, it was very interesting nonetheless, very much like trying out a new card game for the first time.

This assignment along with the class was overall a great experience and I felt like I learned more than I thought I would all the while having fun doing the assignments. I can’t express my how grateful I am for this class, since at the beginning of the semester I was worried if I would just end up changing major again.I was Computer Science major previously and since taking this class I’ve come to realize full-heartedly that this was a major I could see my making a career from. My professor Dale, as well as my lab instructor Kira were both great and taught me a lot, while making the class fun at the same time. We had several speakers from our future fields come in and talk to us, and each and everyone of them gave us good advice as well as made me look forward to graduating.
