I learned how to create a signature in my email. This is something that I have wanted to learn for awhile, however technology has always intimidated me. This class has taught me that I am in control of technology, not the other way around! I do not have to be intimidated by technology! :)
I learned how to "make rules" in my email for future use. ie: Separating my classes with different file names and files.
I learned to explore brightspace further and about what an interface is and how it works.
I was able to write down my goals in this class and it re solidifies my "WHY".
I learned computer terms in unit 0, most of which I did not know yet, except for the term, "hamburger".
