What did I learn:
In this module, I learned a lot about File Sharing and other Web 2.0 applications that I never knew existed. Certain ones like Kizoa and Voki I never knew were tools that you could use so easily on the web. Something like Voki was pretty fun to use. Also, on the topic of File Sharing and Imaging, something like WebResizer was a great and useful tool that I've actually used again since the first assignment that we used it in.

Here's a link to a page that has a few different methods of how you can re-size your digital images with something other than WebResizer and a step by step process for each method.

In this particular module, I believe that I put in good effort for this module. Of course, that's not to say that you don't always have room to improve.

Terms:
1.)Optimization: An act, process, or methodology of making something as fully perfect, functional, or effective as possible.

2.)FTP (File Transfer Protocol): It's the standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another.

3.)Shareware: Software that is available free of charge that is used primarily as a way to see if you enjoy the software and some things in the software are only available to paying customers.

4.)Raster Image: An image that is represented by a rectangular grid of pixels.

Specifically, when it comes to this Module, I feel like I didn't learn as much as I did in the other modules, but one thing that stands out the most to me as being something that I learned in this module is how to Glog. I never even knew that glogging was actually something that you could do but it was actually kind of fun to use the tool. One thing that I really liked about this module was the discussion on the facebook group about communication. I learned about what everyone else in the class prefers more in terms of communication as well as what most people today would rather do in terms of communication.
With this particular module, I believe that I put more effort into this one than I have in the past modules which I'm a lot more proud of. That being said, I still have room to improve on things like how I take my quizzes. Quizzes are something that I've never been really good at but I haven't been studying as well as I could be. That is something that I'm really hoping to change come the next module.
Four terms learned in the module:

Glog: The word used to describe a publicly accessible graphical blog. It's an interactive multimedia image that looks similar to a poster. The difference between a blog and a glog is that the reader is able to interact with the content on the glog.

Netiquette: The correct or publicly acceptable way of communicating on the internet.

Asynchronous Communication: The transmission of data where data can be transmitted intermittently rather than in a steady stream.

Synchronous Communication: The coordination of events to operate a system in unison.
