Following Instructions!!

     One of the key learning elements is the ability to follow instructions.  Whether written or verbal, instructions play an instrumental role in understanding what tasks are to be accomplished.  This past week I misunderstood the difference between the blog and the journal and totally thought they were on in the same.  I was wondering why my classmates kept talking about the journal AND the blog. Well it was brought to my attention last Thursday and now there is a bit of catching up to do.

     So back to the following instructions… have you ever installed a piece of hardware or software and this is something that you have installed many times before but this time it just doesn’t want to work properly?  It happens to the best of us.  Either we are going too fast to realize we missed a step or a popup window during the initial install. Or there are minor changes to the installation process for patches and fixes.  It’s always a good idea to brush up on the procedures required for task at hand.  Thereby possibly reducing the risk for any potential malfunctions that may arise due to… you guessed it… not reading and following the instructions!
