Blog #1

From chapter one I learned that computer technology is very important to everyone’s everyday life. Computers are used in homes and at businesses. They are used in order to make one’s life more efficiently and effectively. Schools use computers because educators are realizing that without a basic knowledge of computers, students will have a lot of trouble building on the advances on technology. They need to teach their students about computers because computers are a very important part of life and will continue to be more so as time goes on.

I had never created a blog before. I am a member of myspace, but not facebook. My friends created the myspace page for me so I didn’t even know how to go about creating something like that. I like that we were able to personalize our pages and choose which photos to use. Using a blog is like a journal that everyone can read. I think that having students create a blog is definitely something I would do as an educator because it’s a great outlet for them to share what they are thinking or feeling.

I am not sure that I want to be a teacher, I am actually an English major but I am taking this course instead of CGS2060. I like it so far. I don’t like that the book is so expensive, but I just learned that you can in fact purchase the book and CD separately- which makes me very happy.
