Hi, I’m Jamelle James, a Human Development student at Howard University. I’m passionate about understanding how people grow, overcome challenges, and build resilience.
This portfolio includes my work from the first seven weeks of my Digital Media course. Throughout these assignments, I’ve explored different forms of media, improved my research and writing skills, and learned how to present ideas clearly and engagingly.
The goal of this portfolio is not just to showcase my work but also to reflect on my progress, challenges, and growth. Thanks for visiting!
My Digital Media Learning Journey: Growth, Challenges, and Skills Gained
Over the past seven weeks, I’ve worked on assignments that helped me better understand digital media, critical thinking, and content creation. Looking back, I can see how much I’ve improved in presenting ideas across different platforms.
What I’ve Learned
Each assignment challenged me to think in new ways. Whether I was writing blog posts, analyzing media trends, or creating digital content, I gained a deeper understanding of how media shapes communication. I also improved in organizing my work and making it more engaging for different audiences.
Challenges & How I Overcame Them
One of my biggest challenges was managing my time. Balancing assignments, research, and keeping my WordPress site updated took effort. To stay on track, I created a schedule to help with planning and editing. I also had to adjust to using WordPress, but with practice, I became more comfortable with its features.
Skills Developed & Future Plans
This course has helped me sharpen my writing, critical thinking, and digital presentation skills. I’ve also learned how to build and maintain a professional online presence. These skills will be useful in my future career as a social worker or probation officer working with at-risk youth. Digital communication is important, and I plan to use what I’ve learned to support young people, share helpful resources, and create content that inspires resilience and growth.
This portfolio isn’t just a collection of assignments—it reflects my progress, adaptability, and commitment to learning. I’m excited to continue building on these skills as I move forward in my academic and professional journey.
