Born to be a Geek

Not Tech Savy read my blog to find out a few tips to help you get started, Good Luck!

I decided to write a blog for new students in IT. I have just finished my first semester in my IT Network Specialist classes. Let me tell you it was ruff and I feel that was because I wasn't tech savy. I did study over the summer before my fall semester classes started. What I did was I went to the library and checked out the books that were almost the exact books that were to be used in the classes I was registered to take for fall. The only difference was the edition. Like my computer concepts book. I had the the 2012 Computer Concepts book from the library and the book I needed from the book store was 2013 Computer Concepts. There was really no big difference. I learned most of the codes and acronyms. Like CPU- central processing unit. Then I told myself I must be able to explain what it does, how it works and how to troubleshoot the cpu. Alot for a not so tech savy person. Sad thing is I had no one in my class that was willing to start a study group or help me grasp computer concepts. I knew after a few weeks into the semester I was on my own. I plan to create podcast and video footage so that other new IT students will be able to follow my success. What I will say is being that I am a woman none of the guys were really trying to be helpful they had there own circle of friends. Maybe I wasn't persistent enough. Either way continue to follow my blogs and look for tips that I will have for anyone who needs help in IT. Use Microsoft website help and support. These lnks should be some what helpful for you.
