What have I learnt...a summary of 11 hours of my life (roughly)..

Well. Well, well, well.
What have I learnt??
Well, I don't think I've so much learnt "new" things, as improved and expanded my limited knowledge on subjects.

I've used this class to help me concentrate harder on really understanding what it is I am doing with the www and how it works.
The great think about this class is that it's forced me to concentrate on all these things and to continue to keep my brain going around them, otherwise I would have forgotten them.

Some of the more memorable things that I've actually learnt quite a great deal about include RSS , the actual meaning of terms such as 'FTP' and the like and so one.
RSS is something I knew off, but never really used all that much. I never watched enough sites until joining the class to warrant my bothering to watch RSS feeds. I'm still not using it as much as I should, but that's mostly because I enjoy the procrastination of actually going to the sites :P.
Like I said, the more you actually have to THINK about what you're doing, the better it sinks in.

During this class I've been forced to use a number of sites I would have otherwise avoided (Such as flickr and delicious). Although I don;t really enjoy using the sites as such, the fact is that I now actually can. Which has given me a much wider knowledge base for online networking.

Having to miss half the class every week has proved a lot more frustrating this term than the last and sometimes I just end up tearing my hair out trying to understand what it is I'm exactly supposed to be doing. But I think generally I've understood just about everything and it's all been of some use to me. It keeps the juices in my brain moving anyway :P And that's always a bonus.
