Learning Styles

I remember the first time Dave brought home a computer. We had the kind that had to be hooked up with a cassette player to work. It was really strange. The printer made strange noises and to me the computer was simply an over-glorified typewriter. Give me my clackety clack any day over that crazy notion. Well eventually we got a better computer and eventually we got an aol account and eventually I tried it out. Well one thing led to another and before long I was chatting in the Christian chat room and e-mailing some of the people I talked to in there. That opened up a whole world that I enjoyed: PEOPLE. It wasn't long before I was learning more computer info and now I am S O L D on computers. I do tons of stuff on the computer and sometimes have to set a timer to remind myself that there are other things to do. I even have my own laptop. I applaud my mother in law because she is so computer knowlegeable and active. I get a little disgusted at my relative who doesn't want a computer generated Christmas greeting. Now I have advanced even more and I have THIS blog. Yesterday I learned how to put pictures on the blog and today I learned how to allow comments from non blogger friends who couldn't leave comments before. Now I want to learn what some of the terms mean that they were talking about in the Help sections I had to go to so I could learn picture posting and comment enableing. All this is to say that in looking back over all this I realize that I learn best by DOING. I can learn by reading but it doesn't sink in until I do it. When Dave or someone would sit at the computer and show me I couldn't get it in my head until I actually did it. That's my learning style. So if you were previously unable to comment on my blog you can do so now. Just click the "radio" button (another term I learned today from doing it myself) that says Other in the comment form after you have typed your comment. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
