I found the egg.

I was able to locate the egg and find out when our meeting date is.  I have to say that I have never had a huge interest in computers,  but after doing some of the assigned activities I am in the process of buying a new lap-top with all the bells and whistles.  Who knows maybe I will become a tech teacher someday (not likely).   Well just a quick note to say hi.

See you!

O.K. I am catching on somewhat

I am kind of getting things.  To be truthful I was not going to take this course because I thought that I would be way out of my league, but so far I have managed to catch on.  I have set up my g-mail, blog, set up a skype account (can not use the video and audio because my computer does not have these features, so I went on with Jolene) and a reader.  I have to admit that Jolene has been a tremendous help and I know I would not be this far without her.   I do have to be careful that I do not rely on her too much because I know that the best way for me to learn new things is to play around with the program myself.   She has said that teaching me has also helped her retain and practice the new skills she has learned, I guess we are the perfect pair. 

I really do think that skype is a excellent program.  I have known this type of technology has been possible for sometime, however, it really never struck my interest until I actually used it.  I guess that I thought it would be too difficult to use.  I could not believe how slick it worked, especially when you have the right equipment.  I could see this being a great teaching tool not only for communicating information between parents, students and teachers but for doing class projects.  With this technology students have could actually get involved in doing a project with a student from another city or country if things were planned properly.  It is amazing to me that we can actually do things that seemed so futuristic on shows like Star Trek back in the day.

First Blog

I am feeling a little better about the course since I have set up my g-mail and blog.  I am just seeing if my blog is operational.
