After viewing Chapter 1 in the textbook I learned a lot of useful information. Some of the things I learned about could be incorporated into my daily life for social and personal purposes. For example I learned that digital media can allow me to communicate in various ways with others. I learned that a personal computer can help organize myself. Also that embedded computer in a car can help me while I travel. All of these things are very useful in daily living.

Some skills that I learned about in the previous class was how to set up a blog. Although I have a facebook account and a myspace account I haven't acquiered many skills to navigate through those sites and use them frequently. It was interesting to learn how to set up a blog.

Today in class I set up the SAM program. I hope to use this program for class and my personal preference to improve my computer skills. I look forward to learning many new things.

My major is Rehab. Counseling Services and I'm a junior. Hopefully I'll graduate within a year and secure a career. I'm most interested in working with the elderly preferably at an Rehab. Hospital.

My experience with using technology started at a very young age in elementary school. I have used computes for most of life, as far as other technology like t.v. and radio and other electronics I have pretty much been using them for quite awhile also. I believe I have become very dependent on technology. I usually take my time to learn new technology and sometimes this can help but it can also become a problem if I don't catch on quickly.

My expectations for this class is to improve on my computer skills and be able to relay what I've learned to others. I would like to have a grounded reference of computer skills for further uses in my personal and social life.
