Some thoughts to chew on

Don’t Panic
I’ve been thinking for a long time about web-based nursing education, and while preparing for a class about the use of technology in nursing education I’ve been “chewing over” some great advice offered in Douglas Adams’s 1979 Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It should be recommended reading to all nursing students who are anxious about computers because on page 2 of this book, in big, bold, reassuring letters Adams has placed the words “DON’T PANIC”. That way, when learning about Microsoft Office Suite http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/default.aspx students could refer to Adams, (page 2). Or when trudging through tutorials about: Creating a Power Point Presentation http://office.microsoft.com/training/training.aspx?AssetID=RC011298761033
They can also consult Adams (page 2) for the necessary assistance. This also applies to another task that future nurse educators might encounter, namely, creating a grade book using excel. http://www.internet4classrooms.com/excel_grade.htm
In this instance multiple referencing to Adams’ book, and page 2 in particular might be helpful.
