REFLECTION

I am currently taking 5320 and I must say that I’ve really enjoyed the conversation in this class. I realize that I learn best through conversation and the discussions we have prove to be very useful to help me understand the ethical implications that come along with technology. This is good because as I begin to do large scale consulting I can really use this knowledge to make a change in the space.

The artifact I chose for this class was the midterm stakeholder interview project.

I felt really good about the project. I was able to speak with a former journalism professor of mine about how important Zoom was in student run newsrooms. Also, I was able to really dive into how she utilized it in a virtual space during the pandemic. The hardest part of this project was figuring out what peice of technology I wanted to focus on that could be useful for me later. Zoom turned out to be the perfect one.
