Introduction

As a new member of the blogging world, I would like to start by introducing myself.  My name is Neil and I am a senior student at Brock University pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with a concentration in Accounting.  Throughout my University career I have had a variety of coop placements and even took advantage of studying in the Netherlands for 4 months.  Going on exchange and traveling to thirteen countries opened my eyes to traveling and what the world has to offer.  While visiting a foreign country, I find it interesting not only to discover what the differences are between the various cultures but what are similar as well.  It speaks volumes about how small the world is when one culture participates in similar traditions as another located on the other side of the world.  However, all good things must come to an end and while in my final semester and seeing how reliant today’s world is on the use of technology I decided to learn more about the digital world and how to use it to my advantage by taking Learning in Digital Contexts. 

In beginning this course, I am excited to be exposed to the blogging world and am eager to start learning more about how to take advantage of the digital world.  As someone who enjoys traveling, I hope to take what I learn about blogging from this course and share my stories and adventures with my family and friends from afar.  However blogging is not the extent of the learning from this course.  I am interested to see what webcasting has to offer and as well as working with cloud computing.
