Today we had our second class of Digital Journalism where we were divided into groups of three to work on a project. We got the assignment to make a comic using pictures we made ourselves.
After two weeks of introduction classes and a visit to a tv-station in Arrasate, we started our first ‘real’ lessons this week. On Tuesday we had ‘International Communication, teached by Michelle, a woman from New York. The course is taught in English, and understanding what she’s saying seems to be a bigger problem to the Basque students than it does for us. But then again, we get very intense English lessons when we’re in high school.
The class is about big press agencies and international media companies, so I think it’s very relevant for my future in journalism. The teacher also knows what’s she’s talking about, since she has a lot of experience in different areas of the media landscape.
The second new class we had is Digital Journalism, in which we learn how to use important Internet applications such as Flickr and Google Maps. Also very useful!
I’m curious about how the classes will evolve during the next three months, but I have a feeling it will be very interesting and a good learning experience.
