As a blog assignment my teacher had me look up how to make a great interesting Power Point. I found that some of the suggestions to make your Power Point creative is to avoid writing too many words on each slides don't have more than six words. Avoid using bullets, use a slide for every sentence. To make a great Power Point make sure your font is big and bold. A little words go a long way when it comes to Power Points. Put pictures in the presentation that are not dull. This is all information that I found on making a great Power Point look here to find this information.

Computer Viruses

1. a) Worm = A worm is a type of computer bug that travels through other computers, that have some sort of breakdown in their software, by reproducing itself it can easily transfer from one susceptible  computer to another.
   b)Trojan = Trojan horse is another computer bug that pops up on your screen telling you to click on it or access it in some way, when you access it Trojan quickly takes hold of whatever it can in your computer, usually resulting in loss of files or other important information.
   c) Spyware =Spyware is a program that takes over a persons computer without them knowing and collects their information and sends it to wherever the program pleases.
   d)Rogue Security Software = It's a computer bug that basically convinces people to spend money to remove another bug, but instead of removing anything it adds more problems and gets away with stealing.
2. One way of getting a virus is when you are down loading movies or music, the virus is most likely in that program and once downloaded it  appears on your computer.
3. One can tell if they have a virus if their computer is slow and programs pop up without you clicking on them.
4. To avoid getting a virus you must take precautions, when searching the internet be careful, don't click on pop ups.
5. An email virus is a bug that is usually sent in an attachment that is linked to harmful sites. It is dangerous because it could be asking you to give out personal information.
6. Lots of viruses are made to make money and they may be made by people that want to hurt some one.
7. Three programs that protect us are, Trend Micro, Titanium, and Maximum Security.

I made this collage on a photo program called Ribbet. The picture in the left corner I edited in Ribbet, the rest of the photos I uploaded from my jump drive.

The first picture is a before picture of the second picture. I used a photo shop program called Ribbet, to edit the second photo. I cropped the photo then added a border and then vintage colour scheme.

These pictures are of a house that I built on a program called Google Sketchup 8. If you would like to find this program you can click here.  The program is great and completely free. When I first started using Sketchup I thought I would never get it, but it turns out that it is lots of fun. I can most definitely see my self using this program for both recreation and maybe even designing my own home.

Cc: stands for "carbon copy." Anyone listed in the Cc: field of a message receives a copy of that message when you send it. All other recipients of that message can see that the person you designated as a Cc: recipient has received a copy of the message.

Bcc: stands for "blind carbon copy." This is similar to the Cc: feature, except that Bcc: recipients are invisible to all the other recipients of the message (including other Bcc: recipients). For example, if you send a message To: johndoe@yahoo.com and Bcc: janedoe@yahoo.com, then johndoe sees himself as the message's only recipient. Janedoe, on the other hand, is "in the know"—she can see that you sent the message To: johndoe, and that you blind-copied her. To add an entry in the Bcc: field, click the "Show BCC" link to the right of the "To:" field.

Note: To send a message, you must always specify at least one recipient in the "To:" field. If you don't, an error message appears when you attempt to send the message.

Internet Plagiarism is when someone takes another's work off the internet without giving that person the credit. It is stealing and it is wrong. By plagiarising you take someone's work and use it as your own. Plagiarism hurts the creator and the plagiariser, one gets his/her work stolen and the other hurts his/herself by having to live with something they did when they really didn't think it was wrong. To prevent yourself and others from getting hurt you must cite everything that you use of  another's work. To cite a picture you need to click on it and then hit link. then type in the box where you found the picture, now it is cited, do the same to videos.

Microsoft Word

Learning how to use Microsoft  Office Word has been somewhat fun and very educational. I haven't really had much of a challenge learning what was placed in front of me so far, but I think the hardest part for me is going to be to remember all that I have learned. Learning this is going to be so helpful to me throughout my life. By having to learn about Microsoft Office Word I can check off one of the things that I needed to do before leaving for college. This program is going to help me succeed and I will be able to do everything that has to do with typing, to the fullest. I am happy to have the chance to learn about the Microsoft Office Word.

What is a Blog?

A Blog is a website that gets updated quite often. The Blogs can be long or short and  they are very informant, the Blog will most likely have pictures or videos. Many people write Blogs and they come from every part of the world, young and old. These people are called Bloggers. One third of Bloggers are over the age of 45 and two in five are women, these are just some fun statistics about Bloggers. People Blog for many different reasons. In a survey about Bloggers they found that most people Blog because it is a hobby, they want to share their experiences with people, and to speak up on an issue they care about. Blogs can be about anything such as cooking, housekeeping, pets, moms, teens, and media issues. What people Blog about is based on what is important to them and what tips or other ideas they want to share with everyone. Some people Blog about interesting art and others Blog about music it is just what they want to share.

I use computers for a lot of things such as searching the internet for homework, and personal interests such as Pinterest and Facebook, I also occasionally use the computer to play games.

If rating myself on my knowledge of computers I would rate myself a beginner because I have a lot to learn about them.
