My+Goals

My Personal Goals

I only use the computer for personal needs such as: research, typing papers, banking, and shopping. I have never constructed a powerpoint presentation. I have a fear of numbers therefore; I have never made a spreadsheet. I realize a spreadsheet can be used for many reasons, but in my mind a spreadsheet equals numbers. I put off assignments related to math and computers because I am afraid I will not be able to find the correct answer. The internet is a scary place for me, so I only rely on the computer for things I am comfortable with. I find it very difficult to use the computer.

During this coarse I will learn to create a powerpoint presentation, produce and explain a spreadsheet, and submit an assignment before the required date.

I ﻿﻿will ﻿﻿spend more time on the computer exploring and trying new things. I will meet with the computer specialist at my school for additional support and a different approach to technology. I will work with my colleges and use their smart boards to increase my confidence with computers.

To demonstrate that I have reached my goal, I will present a powerpoint presentation with sound on a given topic from my professor. I will create a spreadsheet and explain the content to the class with confidence. If I am not confident, my face, chest, and arms will breakout therefore, this is measurable. The website will display time and date of the assignment I post early.
