After reading chapter 5, digital media plays an important part in American society as well as the rest of the world. Digital technology for education, business, and entertainment allows for everyone to use the world wibe web. There are also electronic books named e-books that are used more and more which allow users to read, save, highlight, bookmark, and many other things. Virtual reality is used more and more also to display entertaining images as well as educational environments. There are many different types of software that can be used to enhance learning on the web, educational simulation, and digital media.
The only new skills I have acquired are dealing with the Microsoft Word Training. I think those are helpful though, because I'm learning more and more about certain things that I never would have known. I didn't even know that some of these things existed. I think that the most important new skill I learned was dealing with templates and saving documents under different folders and different types of things (ie templates, rtf, html, etc).
I don't have anything new to share except that I just decorated my apartment for Halloween! I really like doing things like that. I think it's fun. I put up some decorations and lights with spiders on them! Halloween is exciting. Plus I'm in the process of babysitting my dog from back home. It's kind of different though, because I'm not used to having an animal here and she makes me get up EXTREMELY early.

templates do come in handy!
Outlining was such a pain in high school, but it's a piece of cake if you know how to apply the correct template to the document.
I've been considering buying candy in case there are trick-or-treaters in my neighborhood, though I think college students live in all of the nearby houses, so it'd probably just be a bag of candy for my roommates and me.
I just became familiar with templates as well. I leanred a lot from Microsoft Word as well and it is very helpful when it comes to teaching.
Im surprised you were able to write so much about what you learned. I did learn from Microsoft Word but I wish I could say I learned as much as you because it would probably make me look a lot better =)
