This weeks assignment in Inst 516 was to post one goal for the class. At first the thought overwhelmed me because there is so much for me to learn to catch up. But eventually I realized that keeping in touch with my grown children was the most meaningful reason to learn about technology. I would like to send and receive current photos to my two daughters who live in Virginia and stay closer to my youngest daughter who lives in Rhode Island. My goal will be to share something new with them every week by posting photos and updates about what I am learning in class. I have already started the process by buying a digital camera and taking photos of my youngest daughter at work in Jamestown. It's almost a roll reversal of sorts. This is an opportunity for them to watch me grow and learn about technology like I watched them grow and learn in school during their childhood. I hope to make them as proud of me as I was of them.
What seems to be the biggest hurdle, however, is remembering all my account names and passwords. (I have enough trouble remembering my ATM account # at the bank.) Already this evening I was unable to post a comment to another classmates blog because my password was inaccurate. Once again my enthusiasm is dampened by my inability to remeber the codes and passwords of technology. I will probably face the same problem when I try to post this.

I'm proud of you for buying a digital camera, and all by yourself! This is going to be a great step for you and I'm excited to see what else you can do! :)
