Post # 2

I will be completely honest here and say that I do not have much practice or knowledge about computers and the programs that are used. I can use word, powerpoint and the internet, but keep everything very basic and simple. I am a little scared of the advances and programs that are out there. The school in which I work is very advanced and I have learned a lot through them, but at times have not used the programs because I am not sure about how they exactly work. I guess for me I need to get a little "braver" and do some guess and check work to just figure out how things work.
A lot of the students that I work with, I believe, have better knowledge about computers and try a lot of different things to get them to work. They are not afraid to make mistakes with the computers and just believe that they will be fixed. It has been interesting for me in this school because there have been times where I have needed to say, "I need help and I don't get this". Many of the teachers are taught to use the programs before the students and I have made sure that I am available during most of these times so that I can learn as well.
I am very excited to be in this class because I hope that I gain some insight into how the computers are working and what programs are out their for students to use to their benefit.
