Learning Journal #5

Learning Journal #5 was one of my more favorable ones because in a society we live in today, we could relate to these topics. Discussion five discussed the history of pirated music. We know that it is illegal till this day to pirate music but majority of people still continue to download these files. I think it's crazy that the originator of pirating music (Napster) was one of the few who got sued tremendously while other file sharing websites continue to grow and gain users. When I was watching the videos of people being questioned I noticed that a significant amount of the people were adolescent or young minded. I feel as if that reflects on the answers the audience receives because it's revolved around one age group

         










In this lesson, image optimization was a required for a numerous amount of assignments. Image optimization allows you to edit a photo. You can change the size, sharpness, colors, and the file size to allow you to upload much faster! Tools such as Webresizer and Photoshop allow you to adjust these changes. Here is an example below..    
 Image Optimization: The process of image slicing and resolution reduction. This is done to make file sizes smaller so images will load faster.

Learning Journal 4

Learning module four discusses about our recent projects that reflect how current users of technology display presentations for businesses. The tool Glogster helps create presentations to present to other people. The tool was very easy to use and also organizing our train our thoughts was quite simple. I also felt that I could of wrote a lot more than I put down due to the fact that the display of the program should of been much bigger. For my presentation, we discussed how "YouTube" plays a huge role in the world today. Most people don't realize that in a society we live in today have low attention spans in which visuals are much easier to comprehend than someone else just talking. The video below displays how to setup a account as well as how to use Glogster correctly.             


Other people's projects were very presentable as well. They used applications such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Skype etc. Most of those tools I use on a daily basis to promote my business. People used demographics, videos, pictures and hyperlinks to help present. My group personally used Jing in order to discuss our project. We thought it was easier to capture our screen and show people what you can actually do instead of just talking about it just to grab the audiences attention.Here is an example.  http://astogner19.edu.glogster.com/youtubeglog
