The biggest Internet service that is accessible is the World Wide Web. But other services are also available like e-mail and blogs, newsgroups, message boards, facebooks, instant messaging, and chat rooms. WWW sites are easily accessiable. If you want to find something about art history you can a search engine like google or yahoo and find a URL link that will lead you to the correct website for that information. The internet is a very useful invention that will around for centuries to come.

Since my last posting I have learned that tools like inspiration will be very useful to me one day. I may not see it right now but when I become a teacher I will cherish all tools like that. So, I am happy that I learned how to use inspiration.

Right nowI am soo tired. I have realized that October will probably be the hardest month school wise this semster. And I don't know if I am ready for it!

An output device is any computer component capable of conveying information to a user. Some examples are monitors, printers, and speakers. Storage media is the physical material on which data, instructions, and information are kept. A storage device is the mechanism used to record and retrieve these items to and from a storage medium.

Since my last posting I do not feel like I have really learned anything new about technology. But I still feel like I have so far learned a lot in this class and look foward to learning more. Until my next posting...

I am really excited about becoming a teacher. It feels like it can not come quick enough. Everyday it is classes and more classes but never a feeling like it is almost over.

Since my last posting I have acquired new skills in word and windows xp. Though I may have had these skills before I started this class, I am now learning to master these skills. Hopefully one day I will get to a point where I have all these skills mastered.

Since coming to FSU I have felt many emotions. Sometimes I just wanted to cry while at other times I didn't understand why I was laughing. But now I am just living each day as it comes and trying to make my college experience the best possible!
