Technology and Jesicah

I would like to think of myself as a relatively computer savvy adult. I can navigate through the internet, troubleshoot my moody printer, and even drop pictures into photobucket. I check my email pretty regularly (ok, and myspace). Unfortunately, that is pretty much where I stop. Because computers have pretty much always been a part of my life, I think I take it as I go and learn skills when I need to know them.

I had not realized how connected I was to my cell phone until last summer when I spent a few weeks in Europe sans computer, cell phone, and sanity. Seeing an Italian train door close on you as your perplexed friend and you desperately attempt to open the jammed door is a terrifying thought when there are no methods of communication other than good ole f2f communication.

In teaching, I hope to teach my high school English students the importance of basic word processing skills. (Two spaces after a period, please!) I think that presenting well-formatted and grammatically correct documents is key to being professional. That said, I'm sure Hari or someone will point out some glaring mistake that I have made in this blog!
