10-17-13 Learning Reflection

In my web design class last week, I have learned many things.  I worked in a group and together we created a presentation on the impact of the Internet. We each worked on a specific topic, I worked on the impact of the Internet on entertainment.  I learned how to more efficiently work with others in a group.  You can work more efficiently by using Google Drive because more than one person can edit a document at a time.  Also, I learned how pirates illegally distribute something for free like a movie, music, and other stuff.  I learned how the Internet impacted the entertainment industry.  It made forms of entertainment easier to get and allowed for a richer experience in video games by allowing players to compete and cooperate with each other from all around the world.  

An obstacle I've encountered was properly citing my resources.  You always have to give credit when it's due.  I learned that http://citationmachine.net/index2.php quickly and properly cite their resources.  Another obstacle that I've encountered was making a good looking presentation.  It can't be too wordy, too flashy, or have too many pictures.  A presentation needs a happy medium between all three.  I had to change up my slides a little bit because they were too wordy and cramped.  Working in a group was a good experience and taught me a few things along the way.
