Part 1: Prepare

I use many different technologies on a day to day basis. Many of the different technologies I use, I use quite proficiently. There are many technologies that I do not know how to use and would like to learn. In the multimedia area of technology, my skills are not that diverse. In high school, I regularly used ACID, a music studio software, with which I could alter music tracks by making them shorter, taking out different parts, or blending two or more songs together into one for my dance team. Also, I know how to edit digital pictures on certain programs on the computer.

Examples of school-oriented technology that I am good at are Microsoft EXCEL, Microsoft Powerpoint, and various word processors. In Microsoft EXCEL, I have been required to create spreadsheets and create graphs. Microsoft Powerpoint allows me to create a slideshow powerpoint to outline key points during a presentation. I would like to improve in many areas on school-oriented technology. Also, I have many play-oriented technologies that I use on a daily basis. I can use a PlayStation, Wii, and many other gaming systems with ease. I would like to learn how to use sophisticated photo editing programs and I also would like to learn how to edit video clips.
