We are almost finished with this class and I know I've learned alot in a very short time. Maybe not learned but definetly exposed and introduced to. This really is a wonderful class, however, it really is too much info to take in and remember. My goal was to be able to understand some of the terminology and be able to at least be somewhat familiar with the computer and the web. I have succeeded and exceeded my goals and I will try to remember the 71/2 steps of learning that I read this afternoon.
At least now when I see my grown kids doing neat things with their computer I'll be more aware of what and how they accomplished what they did. I know practice makes perfect and with the right attitude I will be a lifelong learner.

We are learning about wiki's today, still not really sure about using it, but it seems like a really neat idea and so much faster than the emailing. I continue to be amazed at technology and how many things can be done with a computer. Students today are so advanced because they grew up with this, I'm happpy for them but it does blow my mind. At least I'm trying to learn. Annette is a great teacher and I'm glad she is patient with me.

Day two, what a crazy afternoon. I've learned a few things about flickr and was able to put my picture on my blog, with help of course. Anyway, I get frustrated but I still am glad I'm being exposed to new things. I can't promise I will use all of this, but I feel like it is helping me to attain my goal of learning more about the web.
I had a little trouble with the last link so I will try this again. The joy of learning!
Hope you find something to go see.

Well, I'm making some progess, baby steps, baby steps. This class is challenging for me and I'm learning so many things, it's almost too much for my little pea brain. We're working on adding rss feeds and I'm going to attempt to add a link from my reader.

This has been a challenging day, but good for me. Ms. Riley has been a HUGE help to me and many others in our class. She is very patient and helpful. This is a great class for me, a fearful person of computers. It does help when others are learning with you, but it's not fun feeling lost. Maybe tomorrow will be a little better.
I would like to know how to use the web with my family. My goals for this class are to become more familiar with the computer and especially using the web. I realize how little I know about comptuers and how it can be used in so many different ways. I'm learning (slowly) what an awesome wealth of information is available right at your fingertips.
