TECH

I remember using a computer for the first time when I attended public school in the first grade. The computers in Elementary school were Windows and in high school they were Macs. When I bought my first laptop at 18, I bought a Dell so that is where most of my expertise lies. I do, however, have an IPhone for whatever that counts.

Through the atomic learning website I learned three things. First, I learned how to add a VoiceOver and also how to change the voice. I will probably never use this for my own personal use, but in working with young children it might be helpful if they could have texts read to them as they held the mouse over the words. I also learned how to zoom in on the screen by just hitting the control key and scrolling up or down with my mouse. The final thing I learned was how to change the appearance on a Mac by clicking on the apple and going to system preference. That is where you change the background and screen saver and even the general design of the desktop.
