Welcome

Welcome to my blog! Technology is new to me but in the spirit of learning I am trying new things. I hope that this is a learning experience for me and a resource for you.  I believe that education and learning (not the same thing) is the process of guiding others through experimenting, making mistakes and experimenting again. Please feel free to add constructive criticism to this space and use anything that is here.

Here we go,

Ms. Newman
