Thinking about creating this piece of digital art and the Edublog posts, how have your digital knowledge and skills improved this year? Be specific and give at least one example.

Creating digital art and maintaining Edublog posts this year have significantly improved my digital knowledge and skills. At the beginning of the year, I was not too familiar with digital tools and my knowledge was very vague. I mainly only knew how to edit and create things using simple tools that are provided with whatever program I am using. However, after practicing and doing DL assignments, I have learned how to use some more complex tools and I am much more familiar with Edublog. One specific example of my improvement is when I had to create my coast Salish art hummingbird. If I had been given this assignment earlier on in the year, I would have most certainly made many mistakes and I would have not known how to use concepts that were taught in person. To add on, writing and formatting Edublog posts has improved my abilities in online creation. I learned how to embed media into my posts, add permalinks, and make my work more look more appealing. I also learned how to fact check my information and how to avoid Copyright issues. This course has made me more confident with my abilities and has helped me learn more about technology and social media.
