Second posting!

I must say that Maryland 23 has been a very frustrating experience for me. I have learned something about myself - when it comes to training on the computer, I do much better with a real person training me, not self-training. I've had to ask various staff members for help while doing this program, which I really don't like to do. And I have a suggestion: for those of us who need extra help with this, why don't you pair us up with young staff members (i.e. CA's) who have inborn knowledge of computers and could help people like me learn this at a much quicker pace. I know I would appreciate the extra help!

Since I work part-time, the pressure to do everything for CEU hours is not hanging over me. I'm working my way through (very slowly!) week by week. My personal goal is to familiarize myself with the different terms (Flickr, RSS, etc.) even though I may not be able to do all the activities. At least that's how I keep my sanity!

So I will continue to move through my worksheet and keep hoping that this will eventually click for me. It's a challenge!
