I started this semester, never having heard the terms new media or multimodal composition. Since then, I have learned what these terms mean, and feel that I can speak on subjects relating to them. The Watson Conference helped confirm some of the initial ideas and opinions that I had. Being new to the subject I was unsure whether or not my thoughts were correct or even relevant, but hearing some of the speakers at the conference talk about the same things I had been thinking convinced me that I was capable of producing multimodal works.
The new knowledge I have gained from this class will help me write in the future. It also opens up many more options as far as my modes of composition.
