As this semester is coming to a close, I wanted to write a final blog post for this semester that looks back on how the semester went, and what I've learned this time around.
Here are some of the important things that I learned over the course of this semester:
Careers in communication.
I learned about how important networking is in getting a job the the communications industry. This was useful because it helped me examine what I need to do to prepare for a job in in communications industry.
Media Literacy.
Exploring media literacy, I investigated the purpose of advertising and the reasons that people create adds. This helped me remember that in order to express, one must also be able to criticize.
Comics:
I learned that there is an exciting crossover in the worlds of comics and film. This project challenged the way I think about framing and television.
The internet at 20:
Looking back on how the internet has developed and changed the way we communicate has given me the opportunity to see how technology interacts with the society. This has been useful because it reminds me that an innovator is always looking out for new technology and new ways to use current technology.
This semester has challenged the way I think about media, going from a discussion about careers in media, to media theory, to media creation has been a wild ride.
I will continue to write this blog for other comm classes, so check in again in the fall.
