1. The course stretched our comfort zones. Personally, I am not a fan of social media but the
course really gave me an new perspective on its uses and positive qualities.
2. Strengthened technical acumen, website building and digital communcations. I have never
built a website and the revelation was that it was very easy to do.

Save Draft List 1-3 weaknesses and/or recommendations for this course, if applicable:
1. The only weakness I can see in the class is the final assignment, we needed to build a
project that used 3 or more technical skills that we learned throughout the class. I feel it is
redundant due to the fact that our final website building displays this skill already.

Give descriptive evidence of growth in goals through activities, projects, experiences,

By use of digital communications, we were able to develop skills in different programs. Team
meetings using Skype showed how to connect and fully utilize the program with screen and file
sharing. Later we performed a similar function but using Google Hangouts which resulted in us
comparing the two programs. Recording of digital media showed us how to record
Skype/Google Hangouts calls for later use. We also learned how to record for training purposes
through our tutorial assignments.
Blogging and Twitter assignments gave us an educational perspective on social media and its
uses for education. By creating Twitter accounts, we were trained to find useful information
and shown how we can easily spread our findings to others in our network.

Our discussions in the forums really displayed the use of our findings in diverse communities.
With the influx of BYOD and how personal devices can really provide an advantage in the
classroom, I, personally, learned that varying social status truly is a factor. Less-previlaged
students may struggle with owning sufficient devices to help them in these areas - it is
important for our schools to have backups and answers for our students who wish to
participate but cannot.

Professor Bruzzese readily showed that he was very experienced with the technology that he
taught us. Even before the lessons were taught, Professor Bruzzese displayed an strong
acument and spoke from experiencing with using these forms of technology. In our original
class meeting on Skype, a solid connection could not be made and he was able to turn this into
a lesson and the dependability of technology. I have been able to take this knowledge to the
support desk and put it to great use.
