My first LLT 841 class was very interesting. I was very excited to learn about 'Blogging' which was like discovering a new planet in the 'Galaxy'. However, when it came time to actually use this technology .... MAC vs PC !!! Being a PC user, I have experienced some funny moments when I caught myself using right-click all the time when I needed this function in MAC. Besides, Ctrt button didn't work for me when I tried to use it together with 'A' or 'C' to select all or copy the text. After sometime, I figured out that there is another button I can use instead of Ctrl :))) Stuff like 'Maximize', 'Minimize' were on the left side which is kinda weird for me as a PC user because in PC they are on the right side which is very convenient when moving the mouse ... But anyway, now I'm fully functioning in my first 'blog' ever and typing this paragraph with hope that somebody from my class would read it and correct my grammar mistakes if there are any ...

I had the same difficulties when I switched from MAC to PC. Now I am more comfortable with a PC but can do fine with a MAC. It is just a matter of practice. I am glad that most students are not MAC users because that way most of you will feel new to the technology. Puts you a little more in the shoes of the learner. I hope that will help you understand how your students might feel.
ReplyDeleteThanks Senta, indeed, it's a great chance to learn everything from learner's perspective. I find this class extremely useful.
