Module 8

  

         Today there are several University’s that only have school online, fortunate for me since I am a stay at home mom to 5 children and haven’t got the time to take classes up at the campus because my schedule is so busy with kids,  at Weber State I have to take  most of my classes online. Thank goodness for the computer and online classes because I would have never been ever to pass my math classes. So for me my computer is a big part to my education so I can better myself, and get a degree so I can get a better paying job so my family can live comfortable in this world we live in today.

          When I was growing up we didn't use computers that much in school, we used a paper and pen/pencil for assignments, the only time I used the computer for school was not until I was in 9^th grade and it was when I had a report due. But kids now days need to use the computer for almost every class they have, for reports, or to research things they are studying, or having to read articles off of the computer, the crazy thing to me is now teachers even have the kids do math online instead on paper even the math book is online for some schools.

          I am so glad they have computer classes in school that teach kids how to use the computer and how to type, I think how fast the world is flattening, that in grade school it would give the kids an advantage to teach kids how to use the computer and how to use programs, instead of waiting until they are in junior high.   

           The computer has been very helpful to my education, but not only for school.  I am very grateful that I can get on my computer and educate myself on things that come up that I need to know in my daily life, with kids or bugs or anything. It is awesome that I don’t have to go to the library, which takes an hour or longer to do, instead I just get on my computer and look it up takes all of 2 seconds.
