How do you feel about the hands-on Task activities? Do you feel like you are showing what you know at all or would you rather do something else? If so, what else would you rather do (besides not do they at all)?
Personally, I do not like the hands-on activities, but if I know what I'm doing they're not unbearable. I don't feel like they show what I know, mostly because what we're learning in class is rarely integrated into the tasks. If I had the choice to do something else, I'm not sure what I would propose. I feel that the SAM modules, exams, and midterm/final are effective in showing what we know. Perhaps there are no better solutions than tasks to offer hands-on experience with these tools besides using them how we do already on an everyday basis.

What is your favorite web site in the world? What is the one place you have to visit every time you get on the computer? What is it about that site that makes it better than all the others? Is it the content? The layout? The things you get from it?
For this I would have to say Myspace. It's the one website I'll check when I have no other reason for being on the computer. I like it because it's very easy and whenever you see something cool or something you would like to implement onto your own myspace, there are many available help options for you to use. The content and layout make the site very easy to use and self-explanatory.

What has been the most frustrating thing for you about doing a class completely online to this point? Would it have been easier if we had been able to meet face to face between 6-8 times during the semester?
If you would have liked to have met, how many times do you think would have been optimal? Why?
The most frustrating thing for me is that I'm currently taking 3 classes and often forget to check for this one! Last summer semester I was also in 3 classes, but one was also online so I seemed to remember better. I'm not sure it would have been better for me personally to meet just because I think the Sam stuff is very self-explanatory and there is always help available when it's needed.

What applications do you use most often on your computer? Why? Is it related to school? Work? Fun?
What would you rather be doing right now?
I use the internet most often on my computer. I use myspace all the time to keep in touch with old friends as well as new ones, and I use google all the time for many various reasons. I also use WebCT for the obvious reasons!
I use Word a lot as well, mostly for school related projects and papers. Sometimes I use it to write poetry or short stories when I don't feel like hand writing them.
Most of the things I use the computer for are for fun, but things like Word and WebCT are used for school.
As far as computers go, I would like to be fixing my soundcard- it's dead and I'm not sure it's fixable! As far as life in general, I'd like to be sleeping or living in my new apartment!!!
