In this Blog post I would like to discuss my experiences in PED 266 this semester. Overall I think this class was very beneficial for my future career. I learned a great deal about different computer applications. I not only learned some programs I had already used more indepth, but I also learned a few applications of which I had never heard. Each assignment we did and each computer application we used was benefical in some way to me and my future career.
One of the most beneficial assignments to me was using Skillport. By using it I learned many new skills on each microsoft office program to make them more useful and efficent for me. I use these programs the most in my daily life and will mostly likely continue to use them the most the rest of my life, so it was very helpful for me to learn new skills and different, more efficent ways to use them.
Another very useful assignement we completed in PED 266 this semester was our Plan/Presentation. This project at first was very confusing. Our group was lost as to what exactly we were supposed to be accomplishing. Once we figured it all out though, it was an extremely relevant, beneficial project. Not only did we learn to use many new computer applications, we were also able to get involved in the community and promote something we felt passionate about. We were able to pick a topic we were interested in and try to benefit others in the community with our project. Though my group was unable to make an impact of truely get involved with an organization, I still learned a great deal and was overall benefitted from the project.
In PED 266 this semester we discussed many issues involved with technology and health and exersice. We learned about and how to use many new computer applications as well as expanded our knowledge and skills on some we had already used. Overall I think the class was very benficial and anyone going into any type of health related field should take the class.
