— Maya Angelou
Before starting this course, I wanted to gain a solid understanding of various digital media tools and their applications in education. Throughout the course, I engaged in hands-on exercises and projects centered around multimedia editing, flyer design, animation tools, and more. I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth and depth of skills we explored.
Each exercise allowed me to experiment and create using different tools, expanding my creativity and technical proficiency. Each assignment emphasized the importance of visual communication and storytelling in effectively conveying educational content. Some assignments took me out of my comfort zone, such as the podcast, and required courage to get them done, but not that I have done it; I feel empowered to use it in practice.
The course reaffirmed that technology isn't just a supplement but an integral component of education.
