Thoughts on Technology

I have some experience with some of the sites we're going to be using. Before college, I took at least six computer classes, ranging from typing to using the different Microsoft Office applications. I hated it back then, but now I'm slightly thankful that I have a lot of skills regarding figuring out how to do things on different types of applications and websites. 

Of course, anything unfamiliar sounds scary, but that's where the learning can happen. I do think this class will be the most involved with multiple sites and programs than any of the other classes I've taken. I'm just keeping the idea in the back 
of my mind that every time I stepped out of my
 comfort zone I only learned some more.

    That's exactly the idea: feel free to experiment, as much or as little as you want. And it's often about inspiration again: when you start visiting other students' blogs in Week 2, you might see things they are doing that you want to do too, and so each person's blog can keep on growing and changing all semester as people get ideas from each other. :-)

I think this will be very useful, and I'm excited to see how it will help me with the rest of this class.

Week 6 Story: Ekalavya's Misfortune

Image
They ask me who I am. "I am a pupil of Drona," I say. The whisper amongst themselves. Until I hear them say, "Call for Drona. Call for Drona." Before Drona arrives, I make the decision that I will do whatever must be done to have some good fortune for my name. It isn't fair that I wasn't born to wealth and that eliminates my rights. Drona approaches me saying, "I have heard a word that you claim yourself to be my pupil." I nod my head. "Yes, ask of me anything and I shall deliver." Drona thinks for a second. "Chop off thy right thumb, for that is what I must have of you." I nod, and with a smile and my head held high grab for my knife. I place my hand on a tall rock nearby and quickly slice my thumb from my right hand. The blood begins to gush and quickly I rip a piece of my garment off to wrap my severed hand in. I turn to hand my prized thumb to Drona. And then it hits me. How might I have any skill left witho...
