My first reflection is the heart pounting fear of starting a new course. Having a deep learning in one area of technology does not preclude having any learning in another area of technology. The exploration into what we already know was interesting. There are many areas that are in everyday usage. I try to remember that there was a first time to word, excel etc. Now, I don't think about it. They are tools that work for me, not the other way around.

The environment is important. I walked into a stuffy hot room and thought, "Oh no, I can't think in here!" Then the computers didn't connect which then resulted in a move to another room. This was a bumpy start. It did generate my first lesson of the day. Check your technology out to make sure everything is working before you start. Our instructor had a back-up plan for  such an occurance. Having a paper project was lesson two.

I did enjoy exploring the course site and look forward to learning the wide variety of sites that may be helpful in the classroom.
