It is more than obvious that various forms of technology are highly significant to the success of today's music educators, and of these, the internet is of the utmost popularity these days.
Over all, coding language fascinates me - I think it is the idea that pictures and words can be translated from strings of numbers and commands. Understanding the world of pixels, bits, dpi, PICT, etc is like becoming fluent in another language. But through understanding this language we are capable of having a "prominent Web presence", making our music available everyday, at any time. Any many web-based editing tools allow even those without much experience to easily create and edit our own web pages, provided they have a server that will host the files.
Personally, I am excited to work more with html. Though I am almost embarrassed to admit this, my first experience with it was in middle school on my "Myspace" profile, which could be edited by manually entering html tags. I quickly learned about many of the basic commands for text and pictures through my own research - who knew a social networking site could teach you so much? However, I am now looking forward to using these skills to develop websites I can use professionally to share my music from any location.

Have no fear Alyssa! HTML is pretty easy, and you will be good at it. It's just getting past the "scary" computer language! Good luck, let me know if you need help!
ReplyDeleteThe language used in conjunction with these technologies can be a little intimidating. But, having a basic understanding of the vocabulary will allow you to be more fluent with these tools, with the ability to converse with others about their specific details. Being aware of the attributes of various media will also enable you to better manipulate them and achieve more satisfactory results in projects that utilize digital text, sound, pictures, and video.
