Post #3

Input devices are allow people to enter (or input) information into a computer. Some examples of input devices are keyboards, digital cameras, and a mouse. Output devices are the opposite; they let the user see what the computer did (or what they did on the computer). Examples of output devices include computer monitors and printers.

Probably one of the most important new skills I acquired this week was learning about Inspiration. I have never really been one to make graphic organizers, but this program made it very simple. And I think this will be useful in the future since kids are becoming such visual learners.

I guess this week I will share that I have been a little bit sick. My crazy Cuban mother has been freaking out in Miami, calling me 3 times a day. I swear she thinks I am going to roll over and die if she doesn’t talk to me on the phone. And it’s not that I don’t appreciate it; I am usually the one who has to call my mom in order to talk to her (and I call her every day), but it’s just weird hearing her so concerned over the phone. I guess she just has to realize that I am a big girl, and that I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself (or going to Thagard if it’s something I can’t handle on my own).

I agree that inspiration is really useful because kids are graphic learners and it makes information visually stimulating.

I feel the same way about my mom. She is constantly calling and checking up on me. She is still begging me to come home.
