Thing 12: Creating and Using Audio

I love to use podcasts. As a user of Apple smartphones, you have to use iTunes (now called Apple Music). With this program, I started to get more familiar with podcasts. I have subscribed to some podcasts. On this platform, there are not only audio but also video podcasts. One of my favourites here was ‎„Leschs Kosmos“. Some time ago I was travelling a lot by car and here stored podcasts were an excellent way to use the time while driving to listen to the explanations. At some events, I also got to know DJs whose music I liked very much. Some of them published their tunes on Soundcloud and so I also learned to like this platform. I also use this platform regularly to get to know different artists.

I have never used the soundcloud for studying, but I will try it in the near future.

I also never created an audio Podcast but I created some Webcasts for online training. In fact, this is a video podcast 😉

Thing 9 / 10: Finding images and edit them

In my blogs and also in presentations I write about various topics that interest me. In this case, I usually use my smartphone for photos to underline my explanations. To change the size, to modify them or to add text, I like to use Paint.NET. You can see the results of this work in the other part on my blog with this picture. It is very easy and intuitive to use. In my digital communication course at MCI, I heard about Pexels and Pixabay. Both sites are great and I like to use pictures from these sites in presentations and also in my blog. Another tool that I use a lot is Diagrams.net. I like this tool very much and it is also very simple and you can use many different icons and pictograms to explain different processes. It is much easier to explain and in my case, it is not necessary to translate into different languages.

Thing 8: Power up your browser

Personally, I don’t like extension so much. If you are using a special function, it is useful to have a helpful tool that makes it easier for you to accomplish your task. If you use more different tools and each of them is very helpful, the performance of the browser speed decreases with each tool. Just like the saying, too many cooks spoil the broth.

I keep my browser, same as the whole PC simple and fewer tools as possible. Nowadays Systems have running too many tools in parallel.

Keep it Simple!

Thing 7 Evaluating digital information

Since the last US president, „fake news“ becomes a common wording. But for sure, to forward the wrong information is happened since human being. To find out the truth is most of the time not so easy. For me the sentence most of the time is working „If it sounds so beautiful that it can hardly be true, it is usually not true at all“. On other information, my way to find out the truth is to check different platforms, where I can get this information. In this case, I can compare different meanings and side of views and so I can build my own meaning.
