My First Blog!

Hello:)

So overall, I am excited about this whole course. Of course, there are some things that make me more nervous than others... fear of the unknown:)

Some of the topics covered in the training I am already familiar with. As a student, I have become quite familiar with Wikipedia, even though its use in papers was taboo and frowned upon, I find it a helpful tool in satiating my curiosity. Need I say that I am also a Facebook addict?? It is not an exageration to say that I am on atleast once a day. Through Facebook, I have connected with people I haven't even heard from in ages... fascinating!
I am also aware of blogs but am a virgin user... this is my first one!

There are also lots of things that I am not familiar with coming up in this course. For example, flickr, Rss and Library Thing. I have come to the conclusion that it is near impossible and certainly is a full time endeavor to stay up to date with the latest computer applications or technology related material and resources.

Though there is lots of stuff coming up that I am not neccessarily familiar with, I am excited to add to my knowledge base and become more techno/computer savvy! I look forward to increasing my knowledge, as well as learning how to adapt my existing knowledge to benefit my workplace and my co-workers.

Nervous? Sure! But everyone starts somewhere... and through courses like this, the unknown becomes the known. :)
