My EDM 310 Blog Assignments are Now Complete

A note to my fellow classmates and Mr. Wakeman . . .

This semester was scary for me. I've been out of school for almost 20 years. I expected to be "the outcast". I expected a handicap parking space! LOL. BUT, ya'll made me feel part of the group and I really appreciate it. THANKS!

Mr. Wakeman, it's been a pleasure AND honor to take a class under a former teacher at my Alma Mater! Murphy's known to have the BEST of the BEST! Go, Panthers!

Summary of What I've Learned this Semester...

Wakeman's class was my favorite class this semester because it was fun! AND, even though I've been staring at a computer for 15 years, I began the semester with an open mind. To me, that's the best way to approach ANYTHING. Learn SOMETHING and use it to your benefit!

Blogging was a new experience for me. It's a nice "freebie" for educator's to use to keep their students and parents informed. I plan to utilize this informative resource.

In addition, up until this class, I'd never heard of a podcast. Now, I do. I've also learned that even though I talk ALOT, I don't talk LOUD enough.

As for excel, I taught myself the program about 10 or so years ago. STILL, I learned the "proper" way to format cells. I've always used the function key...there's more than one way to skin a cat!

Suggestions? When it comes to computers, there's always SOMETHING unknown. I think I would've liked to learn the difference between a jpeg and bitmap photo. Sounds strange, but those darn pictures can be aggravating!
