Hi, I’m Tyler and this is my blog. I am a senior at Wheaton College in Norton MA, not to be confused with the Wheaton in Illinois or wherever it is out west.  I am a computer science major, which is one of the reasons why I was interested in taking this course about digital writing.  Although I knew little about the subject, I was interested in the topics discussed in the course description that I glanced at before I enrolled.  After taking the course for a whole semester, I feel like not only has my writing improved, as it should in an English course, but I have also broadened my horizons.  This course opened my eyes to many new forms of digital media such as hypertext stories, single sentence animations, remixes, and countless others, along with disposing my preconception of comics and their immature childish association (boy was I wrong).  I also got exposed to many different types of programs and software to create digital media such as iMovie (remix), inkscape (comic), and even WordPress (blog), this blog that you are reading this very moment.  Coming into this course I knew nothing about blogging but now I can say I am slightly more versed in the area.  As you browse my blog you might see how my writing progressed over the course of the semester. My first posts were more formal and essay-like whereas my later posts were much similar to ones seen at in other blogs containing pictures, clickable hyperlinks and more.  I can honestly say that my abilities have increased in the digital writing/ digital media field of study and since technology today is constantly progressing, I will most surely benefit from the skills learned in this course in my future endeavors.  Enjoy!
