Sor far in Review
So far this class is starting to come around for me. I know that I can research the internet to find almost a answer or "how to" to anything. I just got to get the settings on my laptop in order. I look up on google how to do certain functions but I can't find several actions on my computer. Without the correct settings I cant perform certain activities. I know it is something simple but I cant find it. Example: I can not find a links section on my toolbar menu in order to bookmark on delicious. I have created the account, but I cannot get the delicious icon to tag items. Also I see all you guys on the site but I cant communicate through the service with you. It's a real struggle because I know it's something simple to fix. I have basic computer knowledge so I feel I'm overlooking something. I have googled and got the steps but I can not find in on my laptop. I want to do well in this class so if you know the step I might be missing please tell me.

Slowly but Surely
I'm getting there slowly but I will make it. This is difficult work for me so the lingo is Chinese to me but you can guarantee that I will stick it through. I'm catching on. There are so many areas within in this blackboard that you have to check and give info that it's easy for me to overlook. I'm picking up on the method so my complaining will stop. The help forum is an excellent area to visit. If you had not open the help forum you should try it.

3D Unit Plan
Am I the only one that feels like I'm 25 years behind? Everything seems to be difficult to perform. With so many communication tools to utilize, it's a complete nightmare to keep up with it all. I feel after this class I will only stick to e-mail. It just seems redundant to have all these extensions of communication. I feel that e-mail is the best way to communicate. There are far more users of e-mail than than blogs and etc. This unit plan assignment appears difficult to do. I feel like I'm starting at step 3 without doing steps 1 and 2.

Collaboration Assignments
A classroom environment is the best for group assignments. Over the internet is OK, but too little participation. I know there reasons why people fail to participate that are excusable or unexcusable, but all groups should be able to function. I was reading our text and it expressed how useful these communication skills.

Barbara My Intro
Hello everyone. Please bare with me as I practice at using blogs. I am a mother of 9 kids and they keep me busy. I'm working towards an associates degree and this is one of my required classes. I'm glad I am taking the class because it forces me to utilize other means of communication. I was stumped at first in creating my first blog that I thought I was completely stupid. After burning the midnight oil I discovered that I had created 2 blog accounts with different log ins. The second one I created prevented me from adding blogs to the original. Once I figured that out I am able to maneuver some with the blogging. I look forward to blogging you all and have a wonderful semester.
