In the Mix with Blog #6!

Alright, I know you missed me but I am back. Coming live at you all in the mix with blog number 6. I will start this week talking about some stuff located in our lovely $100 textbook, i might actually get my money's worth! The main focus of this chapter was on Digital Media. This is a topic that most of us there should be pretty familiar with. Digital Media is defined as "those technologies that allow users to create new forms of interaction, expression, communication, and entertainment in a digital format." The digital media we are most familiar include animation, audio, and video. By using all these files we can make our websites not only educational but entertaining.

For the first time this semester I am walking away from an assignment feeling that I have learned something. This week we teamed up and made a wiki. A wiki is essentially a collaborative site, that allows many users to edit the wiki to make one final project. I feel that once i enter my educational career I would be able to use this newly acquired software to my advantage. This would be an extremely useful tool for group projects, and would make those dreadful group assignments a little more interesting.

By this point everyone knows what to look for in my final paragraph...a little words of wisdom! This week I am going to discuss the fine art of "cramming". Like most students around campus it is midterm time, a time of the school year that is only surpassed, in the fear department by, FINALS! Anyway, this week I had two of those wonderful midterms on Tuesday, one being at 9 A.M. Me being the procrastinator that I am , I put off studying for these tests until Monday night. To make a long story short, I finally fell asleep, or should I say crashed at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning. I awoke 3 hours later and made my way off to midterm land.... Needless to say I have still not recovered from the extreme loss of sleep, and I am really not sure that it was quite worth it.
