I must say that I did enjoy this class. I've learned some new things, but most importantly gained a respect for those who are more involved in new media than myself. Granted, being an IMS major you would think that I would be a little bit more involved in new media than the occasional Google search or Facebook post, but I am not. I respect full-time bloggers, as I can honestly say that I don't think I could do their job. I liked keeping a blog, but I always had other things to do that made me put off updating. One thing that I did not like about this class was that I had to stare my lack of political knowledge straight in the face. I hope that I can take small steps to bettering my understanding of current political issues from here on out. I hope that I pay more attention to things like transmedia storytelling, copyright laws, origami unicorns, and little black boxes (that don't really exist). I will probably be forever terrified of Google after this class as well, but at least I am well-informed now!
Good luck on exams everyone, and have a great spring break!
Ohh my gosh, every time I use google, I think to myself that I should start using a different website. But then I never do because I'm so stuck in my ways, and addicted to google chrome... lol

Delete@Sarah&Kaitlyn.Look. I've been teaching about the lack of privacy online and the amount of information Google collects on us for five or six years now. And, despite this, I still use Google like 20 times a day.
DeleteAnyway, good work on the blog, Kaitlyn, you really put some effort into it and I enjoyed reading it...It isn't easy maintaining a blog. But it is good practice for the "real world" of media work.
