The media ecology of the University of Georgia is not substantially different from the technology used and seen throughout my high school. While in high school, we used similar if not the exact same forms of technology to learn and study. Because of these few changes, it has been an easy transition from high school to college.

Specifically, in high school we mainly used PowerPoint as our lecture style for teaching. In almost every class I attend this semester, my professor lectures using a PowerPoint and puts the notes online for the students to view later at their discretion. This technology is familiar to me and allows me to stick to the routine of how I learned in high school. Personally, lecture style is my favorite way to learn. Because my professors use this medium to communicate the information for their class I am benefited, and learn to my full abilities.

A discrepancy between college and high school media ecology is the lack of remind101 at UGA. In high school this form of technology was used to remind students of assignments or send quick messages from the teachers to the students. Remind101 is not present at UGA, because we are now college students and should be capable of remembering our assignments. This change in media ecology is beneficial because it teaches college students the importance of self-reliance and to be on top of their assignments. Overall, there are only a few changes seen in media ecology from my high school to college which makes the transition that much easier.
