Nothing much to say about this course. It went rather smoothly in my opinion. Learned about resizing photos, which was something that had always been a pain in my side. I would post a picture that I scanned in and if someone downloaded the picture it was be huge. So at least that annoyance is out of the way for me.
We learned about illegal downloading and filesharing as well. To be honest I don't really care if people are taking music. I don't really since I have internet & youtube access on my phone so I don't really feel the need to take music. I'm pretty much indifferent to the whole thing, really.
Learned about Tag Clouds, which to be honest I had no idea what it was called. I mean, I assumed what it was, some organized tags and that the ones most used were bigger then the ones that weren't used as much, but I didn't know it had a name or anything like that.
We got introduced to Web 2.0, which had me confused at first on what it was, but I got it eventually.
Super fun happy vocabulary time!
