Core 1 - Part 1: Prepare

Technology has always played a very important role in my life. When it comes to technology, I usually excel in learning new things and catching on quickly to new programs. I consider myself above average when using technology and the various different tools it has to offer. When it comes to school work, I find myself using Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer for the majority of my research. On the other hand, for personal use, I am usually on Facebook catching up with friends or looking up funny videos on YouTube. I am very comfortable with using technology and rarely ever have any problems. However, when and if I do have a problem, I would want to improve in Microsoft Office. Although I know how to accomplish the tasks I am assigned, I think it would be good to know the majority of what Microsoft Office has to offer.

I would like to improve in having full knowledge of Microsoft Office. I know how to use the basics of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher, however, I would like to learn more. I'm sure Microsoft Office has tons of tricks up its sleeve that no one really knows about. I think it would be very beneficial if I knew. In mu opinion, I feel that I am strongest when it comes to networking with others. I am a frequent user of Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, etc. I always try to figure out the new things and applications on these websites.
