Part I of Core I

I like to think of myself as technologically advanced but I know there is much more for me to learn. I find myself using Microsoft Word more and more as I grow older and carry out my college career. As of right now, I know almost all the basics of Word, but I would like to learn how to create my own style and learn more about bullets and numbering since I use it a lot when I'm taking notes for my classes. I first learned how to officially use Microsoft Excel when I was a freshman in high school, since it has been so long since I've used it, I would like to re-learn it. I think Excel will help me in later years to create a budget and keep up with my credit and debit cards. I have used Microsoft PowerPoint many times throughout my life, and I feel that I'm pretty advanced in that department.

I have taken three years of web design at my high school which taught me how to use Fireworks very well. I still have some trouble with more advanced actions on Fireworks but most of the time if I try hard enough I can figure it out. I would like to learn more about Adobe Photoshop, I feel that it is more professional and can more actions than Fireworks when working with pictures. I would like to learn more about the Apple world, how to use their computers and even try out their new iPad. I have an iTouch, and have for a few years now and I love it, but I think a Macintosh would help me in teaching because I can express my creativity to help my students learn. Even though I consider myself pretty advanced in most technology, I know I still have loads to learn and I will enjoy every second of it.
