EDTC+604+Advanced+Multimedia

Here is the artifact that I worked on for this course. http://bboyles.bo.lt/ijx78



__Reflection:__
//Explain why you selected the artifact.// So this course was our "elective", in that we were told from the outset of the class that it would not be a course we would be required to provide an artifact from. However, seeing as how I have chosen to not include the non-tech course we took in my capstone, I feel like there is a need to include this course and the artifact.

//Include how the skills and knowledge gained from creation of the artifact advanced your skills and teaching practice.// During this course, I learned new skills related to website development. In conjunction with information about copyright and fair use, I combined the skills and used some creativity to make a faux FoxNews site. This type of exercise would be a great way to demonstrate to students the need for some judgment when viewing things online.

//Identify what gaps in your skills and knowledge still exist. Suggest solutions to address the gaps.// While I did learn much about Web Development, I also realize the limitations of what one can learn in a short amount of time. If I were looking to become a webmaster, a website designer, etc. I would have to learn much more about HTML and CSS to be effective. For now, I am content with the skill set I have. I am able to use the tools that are easily accessible, like wikis and Google Sites.
