When it comes to learning web skills, I have to say I am afraid. It’s one of those things where I was not completely comfortable with the technology and I never learned how to use it. I do feel behind in the times.
Now, being in a class where it’s do or die to learn the necessary web skills to conquer things like wordpress, creating a WYSIWYG, and having my own website, I have only become inspired to learn and learn quickly.
I was always one of those students who was interested but never really took enough interest. I was curious but never took a step forward to learning. I was sort of like this dog in the video. I was curious but the technology mainly scared me. (Watch after :07)
Getting ready to build a web resume interests me but at the same time scares me. I always tend to question myself, am I doing this right? Is this supposed to look like this? And the all time basic question, how do I do this?
When it comes to learning web skills the most important fact that I have now learned is to just try something out and if it doesn’t work, change it. You will only learn by doing it yourself. If I don’t let go of this mediocre fear of webskills I will be left behind in the job market and the future of journalism.(Scroll down to cartoon 7).
