Mac Computers

This past week in class we learned about Mac Computers.  We learned how the work by viewing tutorials and overviews.  Some of the new things I learned about the Mac Computers was how to use the doc and how to make new folders in order to store different documents.  I thought it was really cool how I learned how to take a screen shot because I never knew how to take one before and I am required to take them in many of my classes.

I am majoring in Special Education and learning about Mac Computers is really going to help me for my major.  In the field of education, new technology is being brought into classrooms everyday.  I believe that this class is going to help me so much with my major because computers are a huge part of our generation and in order for me to teach people later on in life I am going to need to learn a lot about computers and technology.  Therefore, this lesson on how to use Mac Computers and the different programs there are on a Mac is going to help me become a better teacher and be able to teach students more interactiviely.
