Honestly, I didn't expect much out of this class to begin with. I took computer applications in high school and still remember a lot of the information learned in that class. The first couple of weeks didn't present much that I hadn't already known. I've created surveys, done mail merges, and have created blogs before. Most of the new information came in new techniques and increased familiarity with each of the programs/applications involved. I found the discussion of privacy and the creation of a personal budget spreadsheet to be helpful and interesting. One of the most helpful things in the first couple weeks was the video about captcha codes and how they are being used to help people learn new languages and get physical books into an online format.
The last half of the class presented the most new information by introducing Scratch and solidifying my basic knowledge of how computers work and basic computer specs.
As I said earlier, I had low expectations of this class. But now, at the end of the journey, I've come to realize how much I have learned from the experience. For such a short class,the knowledge gained is both bountiful and helpful to my daily life.
