assignments

hey everyone! I just got done with the assignments due tonight and I thought I'd comment on them. The html coding assignment was touch and go for me. At first I was overwhelmed, it was more complicated than I thought it was going to be. At least it sounded hard. But I found once I fiddled around with it I got the concept pretty good. It was actuallt fun to check out the finished result. I never knew what all that coding meant until this and always wondered what it meant. Now I know.

The second assignment about writing on wikipedia was fun to. I knew how to do it before but it was cool to be able to add my own information out into the universe. During this assignment I kept thinking that this is what digital journalism is all about. It had so many qualities to it. The information was unfiltered, there was citizen journalism, and it has a many-to-many approach.

  1. Coding is a really powerful practice. It makes sense that it's a little difficult to master at first because the results are so very amazing--you can publish a page everyone with Internet access can see. It's a universal language.
