January 25


Welcome to Intro to Computers! I wish you the best with your classes this semester!  Each day we will use this blog to do warm-ups for class, which is part of your grade.  We will also be using a self-paced instructional website called Moodle. We will be looking over this website together to get you set up and going. We will be using multiple online resources and websites in this class to explore the different uses of the internet for conducting research and completing tasks. Finally, we will use Mavis Beacon to practice and improve our typing skills, which is an essential skill for computer use.
Be reminded that you lose participation points when you are caught on YouTube, Facebook, and similar sites. You may listen to music on a site like www.grooveshark.com that does NOT have videos. If music starts to interfere with your ability to complete your work or stay on task, you will lose that privilege.
Warm Up:

Do you have much experience using computers? What are some of the things you have used a computer for and what is your favorite thing to do on a computer? Click on Comment to complete your response. When you are done typing your response, be sure to include your first and last name. Only I will be able to see your responses and you will get a grade for your warm ups.

Yes I have had plenty of experiences with computers. But a lot of it I do not recall, experiences with Word Spreadsheet was interesting but i don't remember.
But i enjoy watching breakdance videos and raving/glowsticking videos on Youtube. Those are hobbies I enjoy and would like to exceed in them. Homework and music are the MAIN reasons i get on a computer though. Facebook too, but that is just becuz I'm bored.
