Coming to an end; THE FINAL REFLECTION

Prior to undertaking the module, Living and Working on the Web, my insight into dealing with employability through the utilization of the web was constrained.

LAST WORDS #MANG2049

Howdy again, folks! :) Today will be the last wrap up post for Living & Working on the Web… *inserts ‘booooo’ sound effect* Haha..

A final note

Introduction This module has essentially done two things for me. First, it has given me a greater awareness of the depth of the online cosmos – i.e. the amount of online acitivities one can take part in and the amount of online activities, tools and mediums that are already present.

MANG2049 has definitely exposed me to more online communities and be active in it. Continue reading →
