Class #1

Hello there!
             Welcome to my personal technology portfolio as a component for Education 4752 at Memorial University. Today's class was pretty straight forward, we got a chance to meet our new instructor Corey Downey who we have not been taught by yet. We also got the chance to introduce ourselves to him, and to the rest of the class even though they are probably tired of hearing it by now! After discussing the format of the course and discussing different activities that we would be completing we got in our groups and started in on some housekeeping tasks, by which I mean putting our toolboxes together for the rest of the course. After compiling our tool kits, we did some small activities, and some reading review on the CDLI website. Overall there was not a lot of new material introduced to me today apart from the acronym BASIC in reference to the program Visual BASIC 6.0 which we will be using extensively throughout the course. I learned that it stands for: Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code which I found pretty neat!
Well that's about it for today, I will blog again on Thursday after our next class, until then
Stay Classy
