What I Have Learned So Far

I have learned a lot already in the three or four short weeks that we have had class in WS 445. Here are some examples of what I have learned:

Microsoft Word:
  1. How to use the Headings tool bar in order to easily organize different types of information within our assignments.
  2. How to change the color, font type, etc., of the Headings we chose.
  3. What the paragraph indicator is used for and how to use it.

Online:

  1. Free online Web services that are similar to Microsoft Word for those that do not have the resources for Word. (Zoho offices, free and online - saves directly to the Web)
  2. Portable applications: portable software that can downloaded to a flash drive.
  3. How to use Permalinks: the bookmarking of certain Web sites, content, and articles in order to keep them easily accessible and obtainable by people interested.
  4. How to create and use a blog.
  5. How to use "Delicious" bookmarks.
  6. Different ways to search through various Web sites such as non-profit organization sites.
  7. What a Wiki is and how to use one.

Some examples of what I still hope to learn:

  1. How to create an online video and post it.
  2. How to create a Web site and make it accessible.
  3. As much as I can possibly cram in to my head in the next three months before I graduate.

    Nikki, It's great to see you have some ideas about what you want to learn in the future.

    1. When you say "create Websites," do you mean traditional websites like NOW, Change.org OR do you mean blogs, like what you are writing now.

    2. Permalinks - an important term, but note it applies to Blogs - the way to indicate and find a specific entry (post). Doesn't normally apply to "websites" like NOW or Feminist Majority.
