There are two top things I am most proud of accomplishing in my Computer Literacy class. Number one is developing a sense of confidence about using the computer....like riding a bicycle, I may not be popping wheelies yet, but I am speeding along and feeling the wind in my hair!! Before this class, I was afraid to attempt new things for fear of --of, I don't know---of exploding my computer, losing all my information, having the typing evaporate, whatever worst nightmare you might imagine. Now, attempting something new on the computer is fun, interesting and fairly stress free, not stress free mind you, but the candy bar numbers are definitely down!
The second thing I'm most proud of accomplishing in LAC172A is working with photos to make a story! I have enjoyed making photo albums (the old fashioned way) for years, and attempt to make them like a storybook, so that anyone who picked one up to look at the pictures could read the story behind the pictures. I have learned that it is possible to do this on the computer! I still have pictures on camera chips from a trip to Italy three years ago! Now I finally have the courage to download them, and the knowledge of how to play with them and have some fun. Ciao!
Your two accomplishments are well worth celebrating! Overcoming fear in any portion of our lifestyle is a big deal. Letting go of our fears places us in the "we can do anything" mode. I reacted the same way to technology -- that fear controlled me from seeking the knowledge to better myself. This class has fulfilled my quest into investigative technology.
ReplyDeleteYes, working with photos and creating story books, movies and incorporating them into published creations is a fun. The enjoyment began for me, when in class, the instructor led us step by step in creating our projects which therefore, I shed my fears of blowing up the computer.
In the end, you have a positive outlook toward LAC172A and I also have a positive outlook. Therefore, I am safe to say that many of our classmates feel the same way.
