U-Blog 1

I want to talk a bit about Internet Skills. Everyone should have read the Internet Skills article and understand where I am coming from. Never has it been more apparent that anyone with better computer or internet skills hold a higher accord compared to others. People who are unfamiliar with the internet come off as mentally challenged. Our generation perceives that everyone should know how to use it. At my current job, everyone there is still stuck on physical paper to do all paper work and we are currently moving everything electronic and I went from a bottom feeder to the man in control of things just based on my knowledge of the internet and computers. As the years pass more and more people will begin to familiarize themselves with this other world and ignorance will decline.

Workplace Learning

When reading the various articles on workplace learning I have seen that one of the major problems is working with and managing multiple generations of employees. Some companies have three different generations of workers and learning how to manage each differently to get a task done is a challenge. It’s important to note that each workplace is unique and may feel the impact of supporting an increasingly diverse workforce in different ways. In other words, what works extremely well for one organization may not necessarily work for another because of age differences.

Blog #1

Hi, I'm Seth Harrelson. I am 26 years old. I was born in a small town called Mullins. For people that do not know where that is at is about 1 hour on the other side of Florence. I have two younger sisters. I went to high school in Mullins in 2000 and went on to college. I graduated for Florence-Darlington Tech in 2003 with an Associates in Computer Technology. I went on to work for Trillion Communications which is based out of Austin, Texas. I was and Wireless WAN Technician for 2 years. I then decided to go back to school in 2006 and now I am a senior in the TSTM curriculum. I graduate in December of 2009.
