HELLO everyone, we will be studying how to use computers in this class to study English effectively. These are the three aims of the class:

  1) practice typing.  We will be learning blind touch. 
  2) use computers to study English. We will use [[http://lang-8.com|lang8]] to help your English, and find friends around the world. You will also report on your own English study website
  3) combine use of gmail, word, powerpoint, and excel skills in a survey project. 

But mostly, let's have fun with computers!
