I know many people will very apprehensive about having to take this Computer Skills class next semester, but I can honestly say it has been one of the most beneficial and enjoyable classes that I have taken yet! I have learned so much about the use of computers and I can apply this knowledge to all fields of life from budgeting and graph-constructing on excel, to creating a website and to using word effectively in the college environment. I also learned some very valuable things about copyright and research for academic writing which are things all students should be aware of. I now know so much more than I ever would if I hadn't taken the course, and really, I had a lot of fun at the same time!
My advice to new students is to take this opportunity with an open mind. You'll realize how beneficial the information learned in this course is for college, and life in general- it really is a great class and Ms. Belisle is a wonderful professor who is always willing to help! Good luck and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

The Creativity of my Classmates
Our artistic and creative abilities were put to the test and we had to create our own websites about ourselves for our 1300 class. As it was my first ever attempt, I felt excited, but at the same time rather apprehensive at this seemingly "huge" task! However, after much hard work, I completed my website and felt somewhat accomplished with my art. Well, only until I viewed my fellow classmates' websites and then I realized how fantastic and creative everyone else's were! I was blown away by most of them-everyone did an excellent job and it only made deciding which were my favorite three even more difficult. However, I did finally manage to make my pick and here are my personal favorites:
1. Brian's website was really well designed and the combinations of colors and fonts were really professional. I especially liked the baseball image at the top of each webpage. I thought he used his space really well and presented all his information clearly- his images were all visible too! I really enjoyed navigating through his website- well done Brian!
2. I thought Jen's website was brilliant! It looked so professionally done and she included such interesting information about herself too. Every aspect of design was almost perfect and I loved the way she incorporated many different colors and fonts but the website still tied together so nicely. I loved your photographs too, I would love to visit Glacier National Park someday!
3. Anna's website was beautiful! I loved her very personal touch and she included some very interesting things about her life that I enjoyed discovering- especially her Europe trips. I think her photographs from her vacation in Italy may have changed my mind about living in Europe after all! Her layout was great, and had some really effective backgrounds and visuals. I also really enjoyed browsing through all her albums. I thought the way she included a google map of the location of her house was creative too- great job Anna!
Once again, I think my classmates truly outdid themselves- all the websites were truly impressive. If you would like to see my website again, feel free to follow this link http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~nkopecky/. After seeing the variations in ideas and artistic abitlities, I felt so inspired to keep practising and creating websites, so hopefully I'll further develop this newly acquired skill!
