How I Learn

I tend to learn best by just playing around with things. I like to experiment and see what I can do with technology. I prefer a hands-on approach to learning rather than just a dry lecture.

I think so many people are afraid of technology because they are afraid that they will "ruin" their computer or document. When I gave my Mom my old Mac G3 a few years ago, she barely used it. I finally walked her through the basics of e-mail and desktop publishing. It took a lot of convincing but after a while, she began to experiment with other media. Now, she's my go-to-gal when it comes to graphic design and photo editing. She creates custom mailing labels, photo greeting cards, etc.

So, I love to play.
