    Reflection Paper Assignment


    EDT 180 Section A

    Reflection

    Over the course of this semester, we have completed numerous exercises using various

    computer applications, including many from Microsoft Office (such as Word, PowerPoint,

    Excel, and Publisher). By doing these exercises, I have learned a lot about using each of these

    applications effectively to solve complex problems involving a large amount of data as well as

    how to more effectively present information (the latter perhaps being more applicable to my

    major of English Literature). My goals throughout this class have been to gain better knowledge

    about the technological devices that I use every day, and to learn how to use applications such as

    Excel and Publisher, which I did not have as much experience using. After completing this

    course, I feel that I have succeeded in achieving these goals.

    When starting this class, I had a basic knowledge of most computer skills, and also I

    knew how to use Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint. However, new programs I learned

    were Excel, Publisher, and Adobe Photoshop. I also learned a lot through the readings that we

    had for this class, as they gave insight into specific issues such as Internet etiquette (or

    “Netiquette”) and multitasking. For instance, I learned that multitasking actually wastes more

    time than it saves and does not help at all with productivity. It is easy to think in such a fast-

    paced world that multitasking would be a valuable skill, and I find myself trying to multitask a

    lot, especially when I have a lot I need to get done in a short amount of time. Since reading that

    article, I have made a conscious effort to do one task at a time, and I have found that it makes me

    more productive than when I tried to multitask. Perhaps the most valuable skill taught in this

    class was coding, and while that skill might not be immediately applicable to the kinds of work

    available with my major, I was surprised to learn that there will be a shortage of people who

    know how to code compared to the amount of new jobs that will require that coding skill. I liked

    that we used the program “Hour of Code” to learn how to code, as this website made it easy and

    fun to learn this skill, rather than intimidating (which was the feeling I first had when learned

    that we would be learning how to code). The program taught the skill through “blocking”, which

    was like putting puzzle pieces together, and used well known pop-culture characters such as the

    Angry Bird, and Scrat from Ice Age, and had a whole tutorial using the Star Wars universe. One

    of the modules that I had trouble with was Photoshop. However, I have more ability with it than I

    did at the start of the semester, which is an improvement. The most improvements to my

    computer skills I felt were made during the Excel and Publisher modules. I had had some

    experience with Excel before this semester, but the skills I learned through this class were

    extraordinarily helpful in making that application more useful to me. I really enjoyed using

    Publisher, as it has a variety of uses, and can make several types of documents that Microsoft

    Word cannot (or it would be very difficult to make them on Microsoft Word). Overall, the skills

    I learned in class during this semester have greatly improved my computer literacy and these

    skills will be helpful in any work environment and by learning these skills, I have learned how to

    greatly increase my productivity.
