I feel confident that I have a basic knowledge of word processing. I am taking a class on PowerPoint this semester to increase my knowledge in this area. I have some training from the Introduction to Microcomputers course that included Access (databases) and Excel (spreadsheets). I am taking spreadsheets next semester to increase my understanding. My internet score is relatively low. The phrasing may also be affecting my comprehension of the questions. I think I can actually do some of the activities but I was unclear as to what exactly it was asking me. The last competency is extremely low! I admit to having almost no knowledge of web development.
My initial reaction to the scores was slight depression! Some of the low scores are due to lack of familiarity with the vocabulary terms and a lacking in confidence in my ability to explain to another person the definition.

I felt the same about the terms in the self-assessment. I was confused by the wording but I bet I probably know what they are or how to use them. Brushing up on the terminology always helps too!
ReplyDeleteI here you for everything I was unclear on I mostly put basic. That way even if it was just the wording that was throughing me off I can still double check to make sure I understand it.
ReplyDeleteAlso when people at the library as for help with some of these things {word, spreadsheets, presentations, or the internet} chances are they won't know the right terms either so knowing as many different vocabulary terms as possible is helpful for narrowing down what people are actually looking for.
