Thoughts about ENGL 3116

I had no idea walking into this Digital Media class what to expect. From what I have heard in class now, I feel like this will be a very different class than most of the English classes I have taken, and will open my eyes to a whole side of communication and English in our world. The things that I think we will be discussing and working with (such as the internet, websites, email, etc.) are all becoming vital to societies and communication, therefore this information should be able to be put into use everyday. 
I am slightly nervous about the technical part of this class, even though it sounds like it will be pretty straightforward. I'm not very good with computers or navigating the internet at all, but hopefully that won't present to much of a problem. Also, since this class is so different, I'm a little nervous about being about to adjust to learning and understanding literacy and English in this way. However, I am very interested in what we will be learning and hope that I can apply things learned in this class to everyday life.
