Technology background and goals

I have am familiar with PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, Open Office, and Prezi. I also feel fairly comfortable writing simple computer programs using Java. I learned a fair amount about Java last semester when I took an introductory computer programming course.

I would like to learn more about how to use Microsoft Excel. I have used Excel before but I would like to become more comfortable and familiar with it. I would like to learn all I can during this class. I hope to be able to use what I learn in my future classroom.

Starting blogging

I used several things to personalize my blog. I have one text widget just below the title explaining what my blog is about. I have also included I put a picture of myself, a poll, blogs I am interested in following, and websites I use. I made the theme of my blog learning technology because I will be using this blog to record my experiences learning about technology. I have also used labels.
