It's been an interesting crash course in computer technology, so far. I was especially intrigued by learning how to do a basic spread sheet, since I had never done one so far. Beginning SY 2011-2012, I intend to work with spread sheets in my classroom from now on . So, I ask myself, "Why didn't I learn this skill long time ago?" Yes, it really does make a big difference in that it alleviates the stress and time involved in manually averaging grades of students. Honestly, though, I'm just so happy to learn something new about computers, everyday.
As for blogging, I picked up this skill from one of last semester's courses here at UOG, so I'm pretty much familiar with it. Also, my professor was a stickler for including quotes and images, and although tedious at times, I rather enjoyed doing them.
I'm really appreciative of this opportunity to learn basic computer skills inorder that I may integrate computer technology in my classroom. At the present time, exposure to computer technology is through the use of my laptop that I bring to class when I want to use it for my lessons or presentations. The fact that we'll be receiving a free laptop for our use is really appealing, and I'm sure that everyone taking this course shares the same sentiment.

Good attitude. This is as much for you as it is for the students. It's all related isn't it?
