My first Digital Story has helped me achieve my school's Graduate Portfolio. it has mad me an Effective User of Technology. Before starting Global Technology i could not do anything with a computer, but i am starting to understand them a little bit better each day in here. i can proficiently use essential computer and communications technologies and demonstrate an understanding of the appropriate applications thereof. I proficiently use a multitude of technological tools for communication, presentation and data analysis. I can use technologies to communicate and work across national and regional boundaries. This project helped me learn how to use computers a little bit better, and helped me to achieve all of those goals. That is how the Digital Story 1 has helped me achieve my graduate portfolio.
