Screen Capture Reflection

Prior to this assignment I didn't know that you could take a picture of your screen. Getting the hang of it was difficult; it took me a few tries to get it right and post it on my blog. I think that it is a really great way to capture everything you're doing at once, and it can be used to capturing everything you're working with for a project at the same time. I think it would be a great way to document your hard work, and show to others the things you use daily or for a project. Composing on the computer is a lot different then hand-written or voal work. Composing and working with the computer allows you to be more detailed and conduct better research. Typing allows you to say more easily what you're trying to present to others, and it gives you the opportunity to edit and revise without completely starting over. The internet contains thousands of sources at a person's disposal for researching purposes, and allows a person to put their ideas out there for others to see, on things such as websits or blogs. Digital imaging and editing techniques really help people to be more creative and to express themselves in their own way. Digital imaging techniques twist the typical printed picture and allow the expression to be so much more powerful. The only way to better understand digital processes such as this is to work with it ourselves. Applying our own creativity allows us to express ourselves to others and to become more comfortable with internet processes. The more we work with the digital composing process, the better we can understand others, express ourseleves, and make our own work more powerful.
