Week 1

Hello,
My name is Samantha Ashline and I'm a little unfamiliar with using blogger because I have never blogged before and I haven't read many blogs unless it's results from something I was searching for on google. I'm hoping by the end of this semester I'll be pro at using blogger and maybe this will build my interest in reading others blogs more often.  This is my first online course and I was a little nervous to take this course online because I was thinking it might be more difficult to learn things related to using a computer without the in class guidance.  I thought to myself this is a great opportunity to work on other learning stragies because as much as technology is growing this learning strategy could possibly be the future.  This is also a more convenient way to take a class for one's busy schedule.  My other concern is concentrating and staying dedicated to staying on task to get the assignments done with out surfing the web.  I don't have much multimedia knowledge because I use the computer for very simple things either to surf the web, Facebook  or Youtube. My goals for this course is to get a better understanding and knowledge to "What is Multimedia?",  "How to use?", "Where and when do I apply it?".  I can't wait to learn how to do my first Multimedia assignment and present it and get feed back on how I can make it better.  I'm also looking forward to getting new ideas and suggestions from others to make my own work stronger.  Overall I'm excited to get this course started and to learn something brand new.
