Day of School

When first giving the assignment to listen in on another class I didn't like the idea, especially since I don't get off of work until two-forty and all the presentations after three wasn't anything of interest to me. However, when going to see the actually presentations some were very interesting. The three presentations I went to were entitled, "Screencasting as a Resource for Quantitatively Based Courses", "Preliminary Assessment of the Cyberbully and Cyberstalking Experiences of College Students", and The Degree U need to Achieve-Can an Hour Change Your Life".
I thought the Screencasting presentation was the most interesting. This presentation was about Cantasia Studio, which allows a browser to download or make records of material for their class to help benefit students as a whole. It can be good for power point presentations, business courses, and it can also give you a better understanding how to become more advance in excel functions. Many use screencasting as additional help within their classes, such as with homework, or missed lectures. If giving the opportunity I would use take advantage of screencasting because it seems as if it would be really useful.
The Cyberbully presentation was mostly about cyberbullying and stalking. They discussed the various ways someone is stalked, and the difference between the two. When someone is cyberbullied they may commit suicide, and are the ones who are affected through emails or text messages. Cyberstalking has an 2% homicide rate and are the ones who are being followed or watched in various ways.

The last presentation was more useful knowledge. In there they discussed the various resources available to you to help obtain your degree. I also learned that throughout the entire semester they offer information sessions that help students who are unsure about what they want to do, the many different courses, or just general knowledge about Stockton College.
