Computer Literacy, Revisted

Well when I Googled Computer Literacy there were many definitions. Two where, the knowledge and the ability to use computers and it is an essential skill. I do know I have the knowledge and the ability to use a computer. I believe my first answer was maybe somewhat accurate but if there was a test about the parts of a computer I dont think I would do too well. As for now I am ok with knowing what I know about computers, I know learning more would benefit me in the future.

Computer Literacy, First Impressions

Well as for knowing how computer literate I am, I would rate myself a 8 with 10 being the highest. I pretty much now the basic operation of a computer, but when it comes to fixing a computer, FORGET IT. I know to install software, use the internet, type on word, use powerpoint, make spreadsheets on excel and just basically the smiple programs. I do know a couple of people that are extremely computer literate. One person I know, when I got a virus on my computer, he completely cleaned it off and when I got it back it was basically brand new.

My Introduction

Hello to all my fellow classmates in ITSC 1401,

My name is Karen Dewvall. I live in Cypress with my 3 year old nephew and my twin sister. I currently work as a Paraprofessional for ALdine ISD at a Prek School in the PPCD room for Special Education. The children I work with have physical and mental disabilities. I have always worked with the younger children but this is my second year in special Ed. I hope to finish school earning my Teaching Degree in Education. I have two dogs Jacee Queen and Roxy Lynn and they mean everything to me they are technically my children. In my spare time I like to be outside enjoy the fresh air. I hope to learn alot from this class, so far I have learned how to blog.
