Ok Class, get a laptop...

Today’s class seemed to go by really fast. Maybe it’s because we were working on figuring out some stuff in Google and Dashboard. We basically spent the entire class period on the laptops with Ms. Frailly instructing us in uploading our drafts to Google Docs and also adding our classmates blog url to our individual blog space. I thought that is was kinda cool to see the diversity in our class by just reading the names of the url’s of each person’s blog. We are indeed a very diverse group! This method of blogging and posting our papers seems to be sooooo much easier that CompClass, which is what I had to use for my online stuff for ENG 111. We spent several 2-hour class periods in CompClass last semester, just to dissipate some of the confusion. That was always chaotic to me, because we weren’t always insured sufficient class time to work on the papers like we desperately needed. But, Ms. Frailly was able to pull us through.
For once in my life, I was not the one who needed a mass load of help. When I got home from work on Monday, I logged into Google and played around for a little to figure out the site and to get familiar with it, also. I was able to upload my first draft and post a few blogs, all by myself. Frankly, I was proud of myself, mostly because I am typically not that great with computers or the internet. It made me feel good to help out some of the people beside me in class today, because it is usually the other way around. In conclusion, although it didn’t seem like we did a lot in class today, we spent time working with the necessities, which was of utmost importance.
