Hi OLC

Please write your response to the laptops in this blog category.  I would like to see you use complete sentences and the proper spelling of words (i.e. no short forms).

Here are the topics:

For your first discussion topic, I would like you to give me some feedback about your first time using the laptops.  Think of posting on my blog as the same as posting on someone's wall on Facebook.

I would like to hear:
* what you liked 
* what you didn't like
* any questions you might have 
* any ideas of things you would like to try with them.

Good Day, Ms.Weir

The first day i wasn't here but the second day i got to use the laptop. I thought it was a great format, the computer is easy to catch on to. I like the keyboard on it, the letters are spaced out. I just have to get use to not using the shortcuts I used with PC. There's not much I didn't like, except that the mouse pad is very complicated, and the bottom toolbar is kind of confusing. I am tempted to buy one, for schooling, and other crap like facebook and msn. One question I d have is, is there a way to scan through your pages without using the toolbar to click on? Because on PC i just hold ALT and press TAB and i can scan through what I am on. There's not any ideas i have to use on these beasts. Mybe make a video for YouTube, or make a presentation using music and videos made by us. Well, overall, these laptops are great. You should see if you can get me a deal on one.

Hey ms. weir. I really liked using the laptops for the first time. One thing i really enjoyed about the laptops is the fact that i could plug in my mp3 player without having to install any drivers for it, i thought that was kinda cool. Another thing I enjoyed was using the program garageband. I really enjoyed making music beats and recording my voice. One thing that i did not like about my 1st day was that everything is new and harder to find on a mac then a pc. For example, i could not find the "copy" key for a photo i wanted to save. I had to drag it to the memory card physically. One thing i would like to do while we have the computers is i would like to make a full song out of garageband. I think that would be fun : ) thanx -jesse B

The first day of using the computers i was excited and happy that they would let the school use the laptops. This is a great learning experience for me because I love laptops. It was interesting learning new things about a laptop that i never knew and for when maybe down the road when I get a laptop I will know more about them. I really liked learning about the laptop and the programs they have on here. There was nothing that i disliked about it.

Nice these computer are greasy and lots of fun to use. If i had the money i would even bye one of these units. The first time using the computers wasn't very good because i didn't no much about it and we couldn't do what we wanted with them. I liked the computers but i cant afford one so thats what i don't like about them.

The thing I like about the laptops are the programs on it. I enjoy the photo booth and garage band programs. I also like the layout of the lap top, everything is easy to find and it's easy figuring out how to use programs. I also like the keyboard on this lap top, I like how the letters are spaced out, I find it much easier to type. I think it's great that we get to use lap tops in class because it makes class fun. I like Mac computers better than PC's and have considered purchasing one for myself. The thing I dislike about this computer is that I am not used to where all the programs and documents are located, so I have a bit of trouble finding things. Other than that, these lap tops are wonderful! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to use them :)
