Techie in Progress

There is no doubt technology is now part of our world. They are everywhere. People call them PC, Mac, i-phone, touch screen, email, facebook and many more. You see people texting, emailing, calling each other through their cell phones. These are the modern world's form of communication. Are you on board to this change? How savvy are you?

I motivated myself into learning computers because I read that learning new skill is good for the brain. It was not an easy journey but with many hours of practice, I got better and felt more comfortable with this new gadget in my life. I overcame many fears and disproved many thoughts that hindered me from even touching a key of a computer.

I am so proud of my PS30 colleagues who sacrificed hours of their summer vacation to participate in the technology workshop in school. Just like me, many expressed fears, uncomfortable feelings and lack of confidence on the first day. As the air of uncertainty drifted out of the room, learning and new discoveries became evident from the "AHAS" heard in the room, the smiles when they successfully sent their first emails, and the loud exclaims of "I did it!" What a wonderful feeling, I know, I have been there. This is just the beginning...there are more to learn. Together, we will continue to support each others' progress and challenges. We are TECHIES IN PROGRESS!
