This will help me understand your feelings about using technology as we start this course. Create a short email and add your image to it if you have one handy. Proofread, spell check and edit it then send it to me (Maureen Sheehan) using FC (your First Class email account). The subject of the email you create will be: Paragraph one: Rate your comfort level with technology (low, medium, high) and describe the main reasons you have given yourself the rating you chose. Paragraph two: Whatever rating you’ve chosen, mention some of your favorite things about technology and using technology. Paragraph three: mention some of the most frustrating issues you have with using technology. Also, feel free to let me know if there’s something else (computer-related) I can help you with this semester.
