Digital media was the topic of discussion for this chapter and i actually enjoyed it. digital media is a necessary item because of the advantages it can provide especially in a school setting. digital media would be like the drill and practice software where youre introduced to a skill and forced to repeat it over and over. i would suppose SAM is very much like that.
since last class i have learned many new things about power point, nothing in particular but more fun and indepth things. (animation, noises, etc)
today i am ver tired, i had to wrk from 730-2 and then ha to run to class to take the skill check, luckily i got here on time more or less. i just want to go home and take a nap but i cant because i have homework to do. sigh

cjapter 4 talked about hardware and storage devices. the one i am most familiar with is a flash drive, i own two. i think hardware is a very important concept in today's technology but me persdonally, the vocabulary can get confusing. i think they should employ a more easily accessible vocab.
i like the fact that this course does in fact teach you a lot, i just wish the program SAM was a little more up on the times. it just seems a little archaic at times. i think there should be a special task force in charge of making a new version of SAM that is more modern.
since last post i have learned nothing really new considering i just posted the last post a min. ago. so i guess what i learned was "new things when using word. such as how to make a form, use a watermark and also, document protection. it surprises me because i have been using word for years and never noticed these things until now."-from post 3

Chapter 3 talked mostly about word, and application software in general. it talks about how to make your documents fun and interactive. it also has a great section on software available to persons with disabilities so that they too can partake in the use of these programs.
since our last post i have learned many new things when using word. such as how to make a form, use a watermark and also, document protection. it surprises me because i have been using word for years and never noticed these things until now.
for my future career i plan to teach, i want to teach in the k-12 level. my reasoning behind this is because when children are young you have a greater chanc of teaching them and making a difference. once they are older (college) they 'know everything' and are harder to convince.

when searching for things on the web i learned that utilizing specific types of searches such as a boolean search may be helpful. boolean uses 'and' 'but' or 'or' to set perameters on your search. if you put quotations around your terms then it will only show you results with those terms in it. google, a popular search engine also has google images to search for pictures and google scholar for journals, articles, etc.
today i learned about widgets. widgets although i dont know how to explain them exactly are really cool. you can get them off of yahoo, and have like a clock display on your desktop or virtual post its, for example. widgets are fun and there's a widget for just about anything.
i cant wait to graduate, although that is a while away nevertheless i cant wait. dual majoring in psychology and english has been tough and getting certified to teach has been even tougher but it will be well worth it when i wear that robe on graduation day.
