Hello, my name is Kenneth D. Meadows II. I am a Master of Arts in Teaching student in Mathematics. I spent 15 years in the United States Army before opening a Quick-Print business, which I operated for 17 years. I have been pretty much retired for the last two years.
This is my first online class, which has made me a little nervous. I much prefer face to face contact. I do remember a few names from last summer (Dr. Crowe’s class), and some from last semester (Literacy).
I am fairly familiar with Microsoft Office, Adobe PDF, and CorelDraw, since I used them in my business. As for any other program – might as well be a foreign language. I do not consider myself to be fluent in computer. I operate at a basic level only. I check email about once every three days, and probably have not yet reached 100 personal emails sent, although I used email in my business constantly. I have no clue what a listserv is, and this course is the first time I have used a discussion board. I have never blogged, don’t know what a podcast is, the only WIKI I am familiar with is Wikipedia. I have watched video clips. So as you can see, I am not technology savvy.
My hope for this class is to finish it with as little bloodletting as possible.

Kenneth, I am glad that you set up your blog and post your self-intro. You will get familiar with the technologies we use in class. It will take time. So be patient with yourself. Don't be afraid of trying new skills. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. For the first-time online course taker, you have to make sure to keep up with the course schedule and finish the required assignment in time. Good luck.
