Reflections

This semester has been a hectic, stressful and busy one. Amidst all the chaos, dance practices, assignments and research papers, I was glad I managed to learn a few skills on handling the internet. At first when I knew I had to take COM 125, my first thought was: what? Do I have to? What’s there to learn about the internet?! Have I not been using it for years already? However, as the lessons went by, I must admit I picked up several essential skills. I learnt how to create a video with the help of Windows Movie Maker. I learnt the importance and extent to which the internet has become a pervasive force in our everyday lives. I learnt how the internet could be used in e-learning such as the creation or an academic portal or forum for teachers to interact with students outside the classroom. I learnt how the internet could enhance business and that anyone can set up a trade - even you and I. COM 125 was indeed useful. I have changed my mind.
