Journal Entry Two

In our recent classes, we learned a lot of new things about Cloud Computing, Web 2.0, Photography Techniques, and using Animoto to make a slideshow with our photos.

We had to review three videos about cloud computing and Web 2.0 and how they benefit us and make using technology a lot more efficient. At first, I had no idea what these things were but after seeing these videos I realized that I was using them all the time, like The Cloud! These videos talked a lot about how Cloud Computing can work very well for businesses so they can easily keep track of products they're shipping out and the cost of their transportation to the consumer. Web 2.0 was the most interesting one in my opinion. This video talked about how people are going to constantly be improving the internet, and it showed just how far we've come with it since it was created in the late 1960's. The internet will be around for so many years to come especially with the changes we've managed to make so far. We can only imagine what the internet will be like 100 years from now! This video was the most interesting to me because it was the easiest to understand and was the most informational.

More recently though we started working on new photography techniques that we spent some time learning in a class before. It was really fun to get outside to practice these techniques for ourselves and see how they benefit our pictures. I really liked working with my group on this project because everyone worked the same amount and helped out where it was needed. This has definitely been my favorite part of this class so far and I really hope that we can do this again sometime! Using Animoto to create our slideshows was very easy as well and it was fun to see other people's work and how they took advantage of the techniques we were taught in class. So far, I really like this class and it's fairly easy. I hope that the rest of our classes go as smoothly as they have so far!
