HOPE AND CONCERNS

Hi,

I am very excited about taking this class. My husband calls me "gadgetgirl" but right now, I think I'm more of a "wannabe gadgetgirl" or "gadgetgirl in the making" because I don't know as much about technology as I feel I should or desire to know. I am often afraid to press buttons or explore new ways of doing things (relative to technology). My husband always says, "Push the button...the computer is not going to blow up!" To that end, I am hoping this class will help me become "fearless" in my pursuit of becoming more technologically savvy. I think it's fascinating that my students ARE technologically inclined and it's a bit unsettling to know that THEY know more about technology than I do, at present. HAHAHAHA!

Since it may be that I am the last to post, then let me say, I am concerned about the last minute information I received relative to paying fees. This information was not given prior to registering for this class. Other than that, at present, I have no real concerns. I am looking forward to learning so many new things that will not only help me as an educator but as a person living in this technologically-driven age.

I know what you mean. Please let your husband know that many times, I've pushed the button and the computer has blown up. The usual cause for this was pushing the wrong button! My Neice and nephews run circles around me, and I'd really like to learn enough about this stuff to at least keep up with them.

I too am in the "Fabulous Fifty" club.My husband is the tecnology geek in my family. Whenever I needed something, he always did it for me enabling me to stay computer illeterate for a very long time. I too look forward to becoming more computer savvy and learning lots of neat stuff in this class.

Well I think it's great that you're willing to try to learn. I think you're never too old to learn and you'll be more in tune with your students. I've had two computers crash on me. My son thank God knows how to fix computers. Hang in there.
