Week One Discussion - Introduce yourself

Hi, my name is Katie Wilson, I'm a junior at UNT with a major in Early Childhood Development and a minor in Women's Studies.
My past experiences with technology include but are not limited to various computer games growing up ( my favorite was a math game I think called Avi), emailing various people, using Google, Word, Powerpoint, using Myspace etc. It's been an integral part of growing up, and I feel that just by experience I have learned a lot. I feel that I am relatively strong with the technology I use on a regular basis, but things I never use, such as Excel, I don't feel comfortable with.
My most positive experience with technology would have to be email, because aside from Myspace, it is the website I frequent the most. I have had the opportunity to keep in touch with people I have met from various travels in Europe, as well as friends who have simply moved away. I can send pictures, or email funny clips to my friends. All in all email just makes life easier.
Honestly what I hope to get out of this course, is to still be alive! I'm taking 18 hours this summer so I'm busy all the time. I got all A's for the first time ever in the spring 07 semester so that is my ultimate goal this summer as well. I hope to learn more about the things I use on a regular basis, as well as familiarize myself with things I am not comfortable with.
