From the Inside Out

Saturday was a fun and interesting class. I enjoyed looking at all the of the different parts that make up the computer. I see most of the outside stuff all the time, but I don't really break apart the computer and examine the insides. I learned a lot of things I didn't know. Going in I felt pretty confident on most of the parts especially the stuff on the outside, but the part that had me stressing out was whether it was input, output, etc... I knew where it fell in the chapters, but there were some that could be more than one. I do not know how we did on that part, but I feel we did well on the rest. I don't think I will miss a question on the system unit again though.

After Saturday's class I shut down for awhile. I have been working at Antioch High School with Stephanie and Stephanie and then doing some "me" things. I need to really buckle down tonight and tomorrow and finish up some things before our next class. I have always been a procrastinator, so hopefully it won't stress me out too bad. I tend to work well under pressure. I guess we'll see if that is still the case.

Looking at computers from the inside out is sort of like how we've been seeing the library at Antioch High. It's always a bit amazing to see what really goes on behind the scenes. In both cases, I'm grateful to have had the opportunity.

Hey pal!

You are still my favorite, easy going partner to work with.

I feel like the assignment was a success because we all gained the knowledge we set out to gain - and we had fun doing it.

I do feel like your "prior knowledge", as my daughter learned to call it in Kinder this year, was a hugh factor in our success and what I was able to learn.
