Week 2

I did not know how bad I was at technology until I started this class. I always thought I was okay, and knew the basics.  My grandparents would come to me for almost all of their technology problems, and I have always been able to help them. If I was ever confused, a quick Google search or a YouTube video has always been able to help me. This time? Yeah, no. Trying to screen-record my Mac took me about two days to figure out. My biggest problem was the fact that the built-in screencast thing for Mac was not working for me. Every tutorial I tried to look up, kept telling me how a screen would pop up but no screen ever popped up. So here I am shutting down my entire laptop and rebooting the whole thing thinking something wrong with my laptop. Eventually, I just decided to use one of the links the Professor had provided for us. It’s extremely frustrating because I have created many screencast tutorials on my Mac with this other software and now it just decided that it doesn’t want to work.

I’m super grateful that I figured it out and I figured it out on time. But, I definitely question how much technology I understand because of the little knowledge I knew when trying to upload a simple less than two-minute YouTube tutorial on a past presentation. At the end of the day, I figured it out and it’s done so thank goodness for that. I just know that next time I need to use a different software than the one Mac provided. 

Hope your experience was better than mine! Have a wonderful day!
