Hello. My name is Debbie Cate and I live in Knoxville with my husband and two dogs. I have three grown children.
I work for the Department of Education in the Division of Special Education as the (619) Preschool Coordinator and also as the East Tennessee Regional Early Childhood Consultant.
I am looking forward to this class - especially learning all of the terminology in the class assignment postings which were foreign to me. "If you can't FTP directly from within the browser the way you can with IE 6." I don't know what an FTP or an IE 6 is - the first sounds like an FTE from a comprehensive plan, and the latter a spy, but I doubt that's correct. I hope a wiki is something served at happy hour.
I also hope to learn how to create or copy video clips into power point, and how to set up and conduct a web-cast meeting. I would also like to learn how to remove pictures from a digital camera - (I did it once by accident and can't seem to do it again).
An interesting blog that I found was Ryn Tale's Book of Days, the story of a young family and their daughter preschool daughter with cerebal palsy. It can be found at http://ryntales.blogspot.com/2007/04/what-do-you-care-about-for-your-childs.html.
While I haven't mastered many computer skills (or even cell phone skills), I do computer jigsaw puzzles, play sudoku, interactive computer spades, and most importantly, I love to EBay and do it daily.

Oops; sorry for not explaining the foreign terms. I've been geek speaking for so long that I sometimes forget that others still use English.
Devices that are responsible for shuffling around internet traffic have to know how to interpret the data that comes at them. One way they do so is through the use of protocols. Imagine that you find yourself in the middle of the U.N.. If you've got the correct language dictionary (think protocol) then you can probably figure out what a foreigner is saying. If you're using the wrong dictionary, then you're not going to be interpretting much.
Most web traffic uses HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol). Web browsers use HTTP data to render web pages.
For moving files from one place to another, servers often use FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Internet Explorer, version 6 (IE6), was capable of using both HTTP to render web pages and FTP to drag-and-drop files. Internet Explorer, version 7 (IE7), doesn't do so well with FTP.
We'll get into wikis later, but unfortunately, they don't (necessarily) involve little umbrellas.
