Week 8: Frustration Sets In

This week took me about 2 weeks to do, not all entirely because of the length of the tests and projects, though some of it was atomic learning's fault.
You should know that I think my desktop is close to failure, so loading things sometimes takes a while and things regularly close or freeze on me, causing me to completely reboot.
On the other hand, atomic learning would not save my tests, so I had to start my assessments several times over. This took hours.
I am not as technologically intelligent as I would like to be, as my final assessment shows. I do know enough, though, I think, to get around the computer and use a lot of really cool digital tools.
This week, I chose to learn about audacity and windows movie maker. I have tried both of these programs on my own to edit sound and video, and have been quite discouraged. Now, I can say I can probably get by on them with a little practice. Given the two, I really like movie maker and would like to practice with it for a while to make digital presentations and possibly my vlog or video podcasts that I have been promising myself I would do. I think time and practice are what is necessary to achieve on this program.
