First
point … by creating a mental model
of personal
|
|
|
computing,
it is possible to learn many applications
|
|
|
independently
|
|
|
|
; |
Expect
a consistent interface with standard metaphors,
|
|
|
standard
operations, obvious and intuitive behavior, etc.
|
|
|
|
; |
“Clicking
Around” familiarizes you with the available
|
|
|
features
of the software
|
|
|
|
; |
“Blazing
Away” is trying out the software -- nothing will
|
|
|
break,
but its easy to create a hopeless mess, so be
|
|
|
prepared
to throw the mess out
|
|
|
| v |
Second
(most important) point … view your use of IT
|
|
|
abstractly
-- Ask what you know, don’t know, need to
|
|
|
learn,
when to read the manual & when to ask for help
