Well, lets see...all of the readings were good to read because it dealt with everything i need to know about digital technology and writing for cyberspace.

The most interesting thing out of this whole course was looking and listening to everyone's presentation including mine "Friend Game", also known as online bullying which is a serious issue among youth. Everyone conrtibuted to inform others about cyber bullying, flasmobs, hyperattention, etc.

I learned the difference between deep attention and hyper attention. Deep attention is when an individual focuses on only one thing, and hyper attention is focusing on many things all at the same time rather than one thing. Focusing on many things is also called multi-tasking. I found that i am a hyper attentive person which i knew all along because i love to keep myself busy if not i get bored easily. I like to watch t.v, listen to music, text, use the internet sometimes all at once or sometimes using two out of four mediums. And learning about flash mobs was very cool because i didn't know about it before. Flashmobs are random people sending a message to a group random people to meet up at a location, at a certain time, and for example dress up or not and just act like a pirate. Other people around this group are like what the....is going on. lol..it's funny. I also learned how to make a wikipedia page and edit information on a chosen topic. I am still learning how to do a hypertext essay.

I was not fond of the hypertext assignment because i guess the topic wasn't interesting to me, it was difficult to complete because a lot of research had to be included, and it was a lot of work. I wasn't fond of the reflective essay either because i was still trying to figure out how to do this whole hypertext essay on the website thing. And I felt that giving another assignment knowing that we had a major assignment due was overwhelming. I wish i could have chosen a different topic. I did complete it to the best of my ability because these assignments were major required assignments for this course.

But overall, i learned a lot, such as learning to make a website using the hypertext essay and now i can teach others how to make a website too. Yeah for me! I also learned different issues concerning society and technology, etc. I learned how to blog for the first time using blogger.com, and i had fun while learning and posting my assignments/opinions online so that my classmates and professor can read on what i had to say.
