how the author gained a more complex understanding through taking a class on Applied Computer Technology.

 I think a good example of a learning experience where I gained a more complex understanding is when I took Applied Computer Technology.  The best way for me to explain my reflective learning through this class would be through Kolb’s Abstract Conceptualization.  Going into the class, I had my beliefs about the programs within Microsoft, such as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.  I had worked with these programs before, but not too in-depth.  I held the idea that I grasped the programs and could do what I needed to do with no issues.  This would have been my focal experience.
