Info Tech Project

Although there were many, many times I had to s-t-r-e-t-c-h my brain to divide and conquer the tasks and rigors of the IT coursework (LIS 541, and INFX 542). I was able to accomplish what I had previously thought of as “no way – I’ll let Lesley figure this out – my computer whiz daughter”. But I found I could actually do this on my own and be successful in completing these courses including the technological components of more than a few of the other coursework assignments. My daughter, at one point early on, said “Geez, Mom, you are way past me – you are on your own, and by the way, do you think you could help me with this computer program?” HA! Victory is mine!

Seriously though, I accomplished more in this area than I thought I was ever capable. After all, as you get older, and your brain cells just don’t stretch like they used to, I was proud to complete these classes with a sense of “Hey, I can do this!” Thanks to all the patience of my professors and Grace, I’ve pulled through.

For my Story Telling class, I was asked to create a recorded storytelling in front of an audience on a blog site. Attached is an example of one of the recorded stories. The story is based on the book, Mrs. Chicken and the Hungry Crocodile, written by Won-Ldy Paye and Margaret H. Lippert, and was illustrated by Julie Paschkis.
