Movies

The movies were very useful when practicing for the exams. They do not take too long to watch either, so keep making them.

My EDM 310 Blog Assignments are Now Complete

I was dreading taking this class because I am not proficient with computers but I found myself able to perform some tasks my son said were "cool." My favorite projects were: the PowerPoint presentation, creating & posting blogs [I was so proud of myself when I did this], the trifold brochure and the Fischbowl links. My least favorites are the website project and the spreadsheets.

I thank my classmates especially Rachelle and Virginia for their help and encouragement to an older student. Overall, I have become more knowledgeable in my everyday interaction with computers and I can now use technology with more confidence than I had done before. Thanks Dr. Strange for your hardwork and enthusiasm for the world of computers and everything digital! YINKI

Reliability of Wikipedia

Personally, I believe Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information because anyone can manipulate entries to Wiki so this is suspect since companies/individuals can manipulate/switch their entries from the truth to nefarious to amusing and possibly downright dangerous depending on your view!

When a company/website prides itself on being "the free encyclopedia anyone can edit" - it is buyer beware and we have all been put on notice that no one is "really" checking the entries. So what's the fuss about? Use Wiki possibly for something other than authentic research!

Growth vs. Fixed Minds

This mind is not growing right now! Stayed home to work on this Itunes stuff this weekend and it has been such a pain, nothing is working. I might take the high road and work on this on Campus maybe I will have some luck with it.

ITunes

I was looking forward to this assignment and I tried many ways but found it impossible to do anything without loading Itunes on our computer.
