Report

Okay so that was sooo a flash back to freshman year in high school. I worked on a report in high school for the technology club about the history of the internet. It was titled, ARPANet Archie. When I was writing this report, my introduction was giving the history of Electronic mail and I ran accross information about ARPANet. I even called up my partner on that project and talked to him for a while. It was so cool.

Back to the report. I sat at my desk everyday for about two weeks now trying to start this paper and not EVEN knowing where to begin. I finally went back through all my email messages in Blackboard (Ironic right :) ) and read the one where I had sent my outline. Once I read this, the ideas just began to flow. I sat at the computer and started to type. However, frustration set in because with every sentence I was having to go back to the USM library and find documentation to back it up. Once I finally got my introduction written, I had all the documentation I needed for the rest of the report and I started typing away. I got through with the fourth page and went to bed. After Chruch today, I came back to the computer, reread what I had wrote and the words started flowing again. I got done and decided to go mow the yard with an electric mower and it is twelve acres. Needless to say, I got bored and came back in and reread my paper again.

I reflected a lot with this paper on how I use Email and didnt even realize it. I also reflected on some of the disadvantages that I do not even think about anymore because I have been using it since 1996 when we got the internet at my house. I did not learn anything from this report but it was a great reflection. I guess you could say it made me take notes over what I want to emphasis this year with my students when we begin discussing emails.
