BAD PowerPoint

The three best powerpoints in our class were mine, of course, Juan's, and Jake's. each of the presentations produced the greatest amount of errors in a power point. the items they did well were:

• Small Text
• Light Font
• Spelling errors
• Short presentation
• not interesting
• too many pictures
• unrelated subjects

the things you should use in your good powerpoint are:

• Check Spelling
• Pictures related to subjet
• Nice animation (nothing too fancy or too quick)
• Easy to read text and good size font
• Long presentation that is easy to understand and interesting

If you do these things in you nice powerpoint presentation Dr. Semmes will give you a good grade and then when you need create a presentation for another class, you will know how to make a great one!

CS1300 copyright issues

Copyright issues are hard to understand. When you find a picture from google images or another website, you must cite it in your work. When you use a picture from your camera, you do not have to site it. The copyright symbol is a C with a circle around it. If there is a C in the work you are using then you have to say that you are using it. Depending on how you are using the image in your work, then you might need to ask permission. As a student, you have certain ways of using images for a use related to your paper or work. As a student, for most in class projects, you do not have to ask permission to use the image. When you work for a company, then if you use the image in a presentation you need to ask permission to use it if it has a copyright symbol on it.
I hope this allows you to understand copyright laws better.

Web 2.0 for cs1300

Web 2.o is the new world wide web. It allows for more social interaction between people. websites such as: Facebook, Myspace, Youtube and others are creating a social atmosphere where it becomes easier to express yourself. This social interaction lets people communicate between themselves from all over the world. The article I read "The Right Way to Use Web 2.0" by David Gumpert talked about how businesses can enter in to this social interaction and use it to help find customers and sell their products to them. There are three tips:define business goals, use old marketing techniques, and go beyond the conversation. For a business, to enter this social experiment is complicated. The customers might not want to interact socially with a business or the businessmen that are selling the product feel awkward selling the product on the same social site that they use after work. These problems make businesses struggle to keep up in Web 2.0 but "Web 2.0 is a massive social experiment, and like any experiment worth trying, it could fail" (Lev Grossman). Businesses should keep experimenting and do their best to succeed in this new World Wide Web, Web 2.0.

Microsoft Word Experience for cs1300

Well, my experience with word 2003 was good. I knew most of what to do in the program and now with word 2007, everything is different. The format is different and the items are moved around. Once I figure out where the tools have changed to, I will be able to use microsoft word better than before.

Its Me Wayne cs1300

Hello Everyone,
My name is Wayne Davis and I'm from Houston, TX. I like to play soccer, frisbee, flag football (because I'm a small guy), and also watch pro football. I am a Houston Texan's fan and they should be much better without David Carr. I am an Eagle Scout and have been hiking through Philmont and the Davis Mountains. I listen to Christian music all the time on my Ipod and my computer. I got a new laptop for Trinity, and am quickly learning its new features. I took BCIS in high school and other than that, I dont have much more of a computer background.


Thanks for listening to me.
