Class Discussion on April the 14th for IT Foundations

We made so much progress on our class WWKI, I am so very proud of the whole class which includes our teacher. This has been an amazing class for me this semester, I was introduced to this blog, which I believe I am doing very well, and we began a WWKI, Wow, AWESOME. Today we made an assessment on what we did accomplish on our class WWKI, and now we are headed towards Computer Math. I am not overwhelmed at all, even though at the beginning of the semester, my first semester, after all the new information that has been taught to me, it was taught in a way that the teacher learned with us, we are just a bunch of geeks, and I love it. I really am going to miss the class but will continue with my blog.

Class Discussion on April the 7th for IT Foundations

Our class discussion today was to get our WWKI up and running. We are gaining progress, and all learning together. We have found out our WWKI is using PHP programming language, and it is not very friendly to us users. But...we are getting there. We have our individual student blogs with the links, and we have ten terms on the main page. We also talked about the remainder of the semester, and were given our Math books. It looks as if we are going into binary numbers, and hexadecimals, which is all behind the scenes. I am looking forward to seeing the remainder of this semester, I have already learned so much, I hope my brain can retain all of this technology. I love it.
