Post #3

It is amazing to me how many input devices there are. Basically an input device is what you use to put things into the computers's memory. Back in the day there were just keyboards and mouses, but now there are so many more devices. There are digital cameras, pens, and touchscreens. Also there are joysticks and wheels that are used to play games. You can also get software to use your smart phone as an input device. From your phone you can download all of you contacts. It is amazing to me how many things contribute to the memory of your computer.
I am taking this course as a prerequisite for my major, which is elementary education. I think that this class would help me a lot if I become a teacher, but right now im trying to figure out if that is really what I want to do. I have always wanted to teach, but recently I have felt a desire to be out of the classrooms and into the buisness world. I would like to change my major to either event planning or some sort of management that would include country clubs or big annual events such as TPC. I am not really sure what to do, so if you have any input I would greatly appreciate it!
In the last week I learned how to use inspiration to create a concept map. I think that if you are able to create a logical and informative handout it will impact students. It may help learners that are more visual. I also think that concept maps can be beneficial to me when I study. They allow you to create a outline in a creative and memorable way.
