Reflections

I thought I would never use a Mac computer, never! I was talking to my dad about this the other day and he said "while you think that is true now, think about how it will be in ten years. do you honestly think dell and toshiba will be as popular as they are now? Mac's are becoming exceedingly more popular by the year." So with that, he brought me down to reality, and I realized more and more companies are switching over to Mac's because they are so user friendly so, I need to suck it up and really learn how to use these computers because one day I wont have a choice I'll just be given a computer and be expected to know how to use it. Whether its a Mac or a Dell, I'd like to be able to do my job regardless.
I have now learned you should almost always use "canvas" when your working in word and are adding more then just text to a document, you take a screen shot by pressing control, command and 3 at the same time, and if you are having trouble doing something on the computer ask a neighbor or look it up online. These things help to complete assignments yes, but they also help with not relying on your teacher for help, because one day they wont be there, and you cant ask you boss every time you hit a snag. 

Review:


The word blog, I feel, is a verb and a noun...

• This is my blog, doodle-tech-head.
• I really enjoy the process of blogging, its almost therapeutic.

Commenting on blogs, is an action. So when you say the word blog in that sentence you are using the verb form on it.

An Avatar is, the personification of an idea. But in this class the way we used Avatar,  the idea was ourselves. The word "Avatar" comes from the Hindu word Avatara.

Digital citizenship and netiquette are clever word people have come up with which basically rules people should follow when they are on the internet. The reason these rules have become necessary is because people have started to abuse the internet and what it is there for layout application for Apple computers. The purpose of this is to help you create projects and word documents easily.

Royalty free Imagery means that once the content is licensed under a set of guidelines, the licensee is normally free to use it in perpetuity without paying additional royalty charges. Public Domain means property rights that are held by the public at large, meaning that no one specifically has the rights of the Domain and that the public can use it freely.

A Citation is something someone uses when they are using information or images they found on the internet or in books to give credit to who ever came up with the information or to who ever created the image. This is important because it prevents people thinking you are trying to pass the information off as their own, which can get them into an extreme amount of trouble. Websites like Noodle Tools help the users by asking for information and actually generating the citation for you instead of the user having to type it out themselves.


PDF means Portable Document Format; this is used to transfer documents from computer to computer disregarding what type they are or what programs they run. 


-Until Next Time!
