The second night of class is behind me-- but the assignments are not. LOL
I think knowing computer components are important because we need to know what were working with. I think learning technology and how it works should include everything. I'm really enjoying learning these new things about computers. I feel a great deal of confidence about computers now. I completed the "under the hood" assignment without a great deal of issues. That was huge for me! Knowing the components and how a computer functions really broadens my knowledge. Hey---who knows-- I may be able to fix my own computer when, or at least be able to spot the issue when this class is over. I'll hopefully know enough to solve my own problems.

Christy,
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat with you. It would be great to be able to fix things and solve computer problems on my own WITHOUT asking for help! What a great feeling that would be.
Christy and Sami,
ReplyDeleteI would also like to be able to fix things without needing the tech dept. and really think its important to know what makes up a computer. I can actually use the correct phrases or words when I am describing things inside my computer, know what they look like and where they are. :)
Getting over the fear is the biggest hurdle. We're always going to break something.
ReplyDeleteNot really. Being responsible for the ordering and installation of an upgrade is also a great learning experience. Before you can install a new hard drive, new memory, etc., you need to know about the specifics of your system in order to get the right parts. Hmmm. Another good idea for a future class.
