Introduction

(a) I would like to formally introduce myself as Andrea Piedra. Before this year, I took CSN classes during high school, meaning that this would be my third year at CSN. Along with IS101-3210, I am taking four other courses. 

(b) When I first saw what IS101 was about, it wasn't what i expected. I found out it was a course on the basic software programs and a guide to achieve the Microsoft Office Specialty Certification. I do believe it has a handful of class workload, which I didn't expect but now looking at it, I should've expected this. 

(c) I am having trouble accessing Labsim as of now, but I can say that one of the skills that I have experience in is social media. I have been using social media since I was young, which wasn't good but I would say that I am somewhat experienced in that.


1.3.8 Checking your email 

I try to check my email every morning and make a good habit out of it. I am usually good at this as I directly receive a notification from the app when I open my phone. When starting IS101-3210, I had to make it a habit to check in everyday on the app and not just depend on the notification on my screen but rather entering the app and going through my folders and new emails daily. This has helped me greatly in staying on top of important information and class related emails.
