Maddy's Weekly Blogs

 Hey, Y'all!!! For this week's final project, I decided to explore the software WASK which is a creative social media advertising ad creator. WASK is a really simple and creative software that a beginner advertiser in social media should definitely utilize. Along with having a creative aspect, it also helps the advertiser manage their audiences and competition. Overall, I thought the software was very basic and beginner level advertising which is nothing bad but as an advertiser advances their skills, they will need to move beyond this software.  My final reflection on this course now that we are at the end of the semester is a good one. I learned far more than I ever thought I could in this course. Fifteen weeks ago, I never would have thought this course would teach me so many useful and informative facts about the technology of the world. I enjoyed writing blogs every week about what we covered and I will definitely remember this and write a blog in the future.  My Fin...

 Hey, Y'all!! For this week my assignment was to create a website for my ePortfolio to go on and then screen record myself going over the website and explaining where everything is. I really enjoyed doing this assignment because I was allowed a lot of creative freedom and in my desired career field that is a must-have. Learning how o build a website was also very beneficial because in a future career I need to be familiar with making, maintaining, and managing websites for my clients.  Website Link:  https://kurtz16.wixsite.com/advertising-eportfol   Youtube Link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK1aXBBUDKc Here a sneak peek at my Home page: 

 Hey, Y'all!!  For this group assignment, my group and I decided to explore virtual reality in advertising. We discussed what virtual reality and advertising is. Then we went over how virtual reality can be used in advertising and what that means for the future of advertising. Then we explained the pros and cons that come with using virtual reality in advertising. We also included three really unique advertisements that utilized virtual reality in their promotion. Overall, I found the topic really interesting and I am glad I had this opportunity to learn more about my field of study!! 

Hey, Y'all!! For this week's assignment, I chose to make my presentation about Bitcoin. I've heard some of my friends talk about cryptocurrency in the past but I never understood what they were talking about. Even before learning more about cryptocurrency, I didn't trust Bitcoin, now learning more about the topic, I especially don't trust it. I think it is a good idea but the fact that no one knows who created Bitcoin makes me skeptical of it. I have never and will never use cryptocurrency because I put my trust in real, tangible money, not electronic money. The Internet is too easily hacked and abused so I don't think I will ever trust an organization like Bitcoin with my money.
