Reflection

My integration of IST is at its peak by this point! I am having so much fun learning about how IST is a part of my daily life. I got to understand what problem solving is and how each concept plays a huge role in the process. I also found it interesting that there are multiple different types of data that are used across platforms. The two that I dived deeper into this week were descriptive and predictive. Since both of the terms had a key word inside of them, it was easy to grasp the definition and how the data was used (i.e. describe and predict). I had a lot of fun creating an infographic that showcased both of my skills of understanding the concepts, as well as the use of Adobe Express. I watched some tutorials on how to navigate the application before I jumped in, and I believe I did a pretty good job.
