I have not realized until I took this class, Principle of New Media that in one of my previous class, CIS 3367, I was using New Media to do more than showing what I have learned in that class. I created a video on YouTube named Miss Dorita's Income Statement where I showed how we could use Excel Tools to create an Income Statement. However, now I can say that with this video I could use New Media to share some of my knowledge to other users who might be interested to learn how to use Excel's business tools. One creative way to share knowledge is by using Social Media on different platforms. In this case, I used YouTube which is a dynamic way to explain something. To create the video that I posted, I used Screencast-o-Matic website which allow me to record what I was doing on a screen. Another aspect that I could do with this video was to promote Miss Dorita's channel adding her channel's name, Facebook page and her picture on my video. At the moment that I create the video, I did not realize that I was using Social Media to promote another channel. With New Media, I can also promote my video on different platforms such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
This is definitely a creative and intelligent use of new media. Not only is this creative, but it also helps so many people learn how to use new media and software like Excel, especially given how important it is to know things like this in today's society. Watching the income statement come to life through the use of Excel tools was interesting.
