Reluctant Immigrant
Though I use computers in so many ways in my work and home life, and value and rely on them for so much, still I am undoubtedly an immigrant and a reluctant one at that. My impulse is always to cry for help in frustration when something doesn't immediately work for me on the computer. I take no pleasure in understanding the technology or how it works and often feel I am dragging my heels and avoiding learning some new aspect. I know I am not alone in this and I know there is no point in persisting in this attitude, not in the work I do. So here I go and at least by the end of the course I should no longer be nervous of these particular kinds of application.

Great to see you have taken the first steps in the new land of Learning 2.0. I was a little apprehensive too but found that learning with colleagues made it easier and fun.
Hope you enjoy the program,

I too feel as though I'm dragging my heels over to the computer and am surprised that your comments reflect exactly how I feel. I don't even have the internet connected at home, and my computer is gathering dust; sitting behind a computer at work all day is weary, but I know too that I must progress with acquiring new skills and knowledge in this ever increasing world of technology.
