Blogging: What's that?

Other than being able to turn on a computer, email, type decently, and surf YouTube, I do not have much computer knowledge. Computers and I are not best friends, and I will admit that I am not the most technologically-savvy person by any means. So why am I in this English 201 class? Well, actually I was expecting something a little different when I signed up. It came as a bit of a surprise to discover that we would be focusing on blogging and even touch on web page design during the course of the semester. Initially, I was wary of jumping into writing online. The fact that my blog would become completely public was a little intimidating. After thinking about the idea of blogging, I became less apprehensive. I now think of the whole process as an opportunity to learn new procedures that will be helpful in my future, especially within my career.
My name is Becky, and I am majoring in Elementary Education and minoring in Language Arts Education. I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life, yet definitely prefer sunny, warm weather over the bitter kind we've been having lately. I grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which is between Milwaukee and Chicago. Madison's always been a big part of my life because I have close relatives that live here.
Now that I think about it, this whole blogging process shouldn't be so bad and actually has a number of advantages. I will gain basic knowledge and will be able to use this information to carry out specific projects. And I may end up enjoying myself!
