In this Unit we have already started covering some pretty helpful information.  I thought I was well versed with a computer, boy I was wrong. None the less... we persist. This Unit allowed me to ease into the class by going over file management and interface basics. We covered the fundamentals when it comes to navigating Brightspace and accessing our student Outlook accounts. 

I found it very helpful that we went over various options such as scheduling emails or automatically having certain emails go to a specific folder. This unit kicked off our first Brightspace Discussion post,  we also set up notebooks that were used for the duration of the course.
