The third aspect of my new media literacy that I thoroughly enjoy, are my improved skills to use the technology that creates this media literacy. Prior to this class I had done a lot of work in Adobe CS3, as well as in Adobe Audition, Avid, etc…but this class really helped me to hone my skills and learn new ones. I really enjoyed the last project we did in Flash, which I had never used before, because it was the perfect tool for everyday use. I definitely would invest in a program like Flash if I continue to do blogs or create a website. I think having the skills needed to create a sight with visuals, motion and sound are important, because in todays’ world, nothing is plain and simple anymore. Overall, this was a great class, and I feel as though everything that was discussed, or learned, was useful, up-to-date, and helped me become more aware of the world around me.
