Power Point

Doing powerpoints are easy. Reading the powerpoint instructor i have learned more than already knew about powerpoint. There are different shortcuts you can take to insert new slides and pictures. I learned how to turn my images and make them different sizes and copy and paste them. I also learned about the autoshapes and how you can use them to create images. To make the presentation look professional you must be simple and not too complicated. You must also have the correct information and know what you are talking about so that it will not look like your reading right from the slide. Also be able to answer questions.

    Good & Bad Designs

    A good design is something you want it grabs the attention of the people and draws them to your page. A good design is a page where you can see the text and read everything clearly and not be confused as to what they are saying. On a blog there are different links and on some pages people may not notice them because they blind in, with a good design you will be able to see the links because they stand out. Also its good to have the page not so full that it does not pop up quick, NO ONE WANTS TO WAIT. Now lets get to a bad design, we can all figure out that a bad design is a page that is just boring as everrrrrrr. Nothing stands out and the links blend in and the words do not grab your attention.

    Wind Turbine

    The wind turbine taught me about patience really. I noticed i am very impatient and with this project in order to get it right you had to read the directions more than once and go step by step you couldnt miss anything. I also learned to be organized and neat. I lost many of the pieces to the wind turbine and it kind of threw me off with the whole finishing on time thing, so now i know that i NEED to pay more attention to what i do with my pieces. it relates to the technology sector because it is manufacturing.

    My First Blog

    Blogging? What is blogging? I can honestly say it's something i thought i would never be doing. From reading about it it sounds very interesting. Blogging is like a personal diary, yes diaries are personal for no one to see, but this one is for everyone to see. It lets you express your opinions to the world, i mean everyone's entitled to their own opinion right? It also lets you get some important news spreaded faster. I have heard many people talk about blogging the first thing that comes to mind is MEDIA i didnt know you can blog about anything. It sounds entertaining i think i should enjoy this. I have lots of thoughts that i would like to express. Its like when someone gets on my blog their entering my world because it's something i designed and my thoughts.
