For setting up my Gmail account and blog everything went smoothly and didn't take much time at all. I am very familiar with Gmail and all of the tools that it has to offer, which I use almost daily, made it very easy to create a new Gmail account. As for setting up the blog, that was a first for me, but the directions provided were very self explanatory and I had my blog up and running within a few minutes!
As for what I expect to learn in this course, at this point I don't really know what we will be learning so it will be hard to tell. But what I would like to learn is new skills that I did not know in the past, being that I'm always interested in learning new things. To me that is not limited to a specific category, even if this class can teach something as simple as learning a new way to hold a pencil I'm satisfied!
For how I feel about taking an online course, I feel perfectly fine! This is not my first online course, I've taken two other online courses in the past, while I'm also taking another one alongside this one for this semester. Being that I've taken online courses in the past, I am very familiar with how they work and what the expectations are for online learning.
