Week 10 Summary

Well the progress in LAC 172 has definitely been forward!!! My comfort level is higher with trying to figure things out when I hit a road block. I have made distinct improvements in navigating the internet, in preparing power point presentations, and also with increased terminology as it relates to technology. It's almost like a separate culture in some ways -- like being dropped in China when one doesn't speak Chinese or know the customs. However, through the process of immersion (and practice with technology) ones becomes not only more comfortable but more proficient. So, my comfort level has increased, my understanding improved, and my proficiency is higher but would still like it to be better, which means more practice. The "muddy points" are usually pretty simple things like

• bookmarks
• file extensions
• taking things from the internet to insert in documents
• headers/footers
• spreadsheet functions

I also am excited to continue to learning and appreciate a bit more understanding about the risks of the connected world we live in, as well as the rewards and ways it can make our lives more efficient.

I leave the class with a sense of satisfaction combined with a desire to continue learning and the distinct reality the my computer proficiency has significantly improved. I am confident that were I to take the test now I would pass, so mission accomplished!!!

Thank you - and all the best as the class continues to evolve!
