Overall Lessons Learned
Overall Lessons Learned
Looking back, I learned more than I thought I did! I feel equipped to use all software more effectively. I also understand OneDrive a little better and learned about a new program called Diagrams.net.
Since I used the computers in the lab, I got a chance to explore a little more. I only ever used a Chromebook, so this was a new experience for me. Overall, I'm more comfortable with technology, and there is no doubt I will use the skills I learned in the class
