Know Your Audience

The 4 things that you should ask yourself about your audience are Who will read or see this piece of writing? What do I want them to know? What background do they bring? and What do I want this piece of writing or presentation to accomplish? I think that it is a good idea to understand you audience because then if you understand them they will understand you. I mean like if you know what they understand and say it they way they will intrepret it easier then you did a good job on your presentation.

Charts, Graphs, and Diagrams

I think that spreadsheets and graphs used because people need to see the growth or or non growth of a product or a service. Different types of charts are used to show different points of view I guess. I think that a diagram is a type of thing that you can do to describe a object. I think that it is easier to see it in graphic because it is easier on the eyes. I could use charts outside of this class like in job.

Using Math Formulas

Excel helps you when using math formulas, that was really what this handout was about. If you were to put into Excel a word problem the first thing it would do is the multiplucation, then division, then addition, and then subtraction. I think formulas are important because you wouldn't be able to do math work. i think we will us them in life when we have to do multiple things. The order of precedence is important because it shows you which ones to calculate first.

Introduction to Microsoft Excel

 I think that Microsoft Excel is just a computer program where you can organize text, also organize and process numbers in rows and columns.

The Hstory of Microsoft Excel
The earliest spreadsheet program was called Multiplan by Doug Clunder. Locus 1-2-3 was the name of the software that took over after the first program. But Odyseey replaced Multi Plan, and Odyseey later became Microsoft in the spring of 1984.

Questions
Business use Excel by sales figure, time cards,and expense statements.
The formulas in Excel can be copied to other columns and rows to make quick and accurate calculations.
 It has grids so it can seperated data from other bits of data.
I learned that you can use it for your grades.

Personal and Business Letters

I think that this handout was just about two different formats that you can use for writing a business letter. Block Style Format all lines of the letter align at the left margin and personal business is just that you don't use a letterhead.
1. Block Style Format is easy to key and have a clean, organized look.
2. So that the customer can immediately identify it.
3. The difference between a personal and business letter is that a personal letter doesn't use letterhead. You use the personal business letter format when your letter represents only yourself and not a separate business or organization.

Box table is a table with lines (rows and columns). Tables are useful in everyday life because they can help you when you are presenting data. The difference between an open table and a table is that an open table is a table without lines and I guess a table or a box tables a table with lines. The most important key used in a table is the tab key and the arrow keys.

Internet Safety



1.Keep your passwords secret and change them regularly.
This tip is important because what if someone hacked into your information and saw your password they have your password for everyting.
For example Mrs. Davis doesn't change her password and some one got if and got her bank money and she went broke. 
2.Never give out a phone number, address or photo to an online pen pal or someone you met in a chat room unless you talk to your parents first.
 This tip is important because if you do put your add a picture they can find your name and it goes down for there.
For example Brittany was on Facebook and some person asked for a picture and her number and she did they can keep horrasing her. 
3.NEVER agree to meet with an online acquaintance without talking to your parents.
This tip to me is very important beacuse i have heard about a lot of older men getting on to chat rooms and talking to girls then asking to meet them, there was one i heard about when a girl met the guy at her house and her parents were on the way home and he pushed his way into her room and hid under her bed and told her not to tell her parents in the end he got arrasteded but i would have been very scared.  
4. Know the difference between advertising and entertainment. Sometimes it’s not clear cut. 
5. Remember that sometimes, free stuff—like games, ring tones or screen savers—can hide viruses or spyware.  Some information should stay private.
6.Don’t reply to text, email or pop-up messages that ask you to reply with personal information. 
7. Don’t ask anyone else for their information.
8. Don’t go to websites you shouldn't go to in the first place.
9. Don’t post disturbing pictures of yourself you can’t take them back.
10. Remember not to post where you are or where you are going.

Internet, Can You Speak The Language?

Once upon a time there was a girl named Hyper (short for Hyperlink) and she was Online doing her homework. When she decided to call her friend Blog and invite her to a World Wide Web dinner party that she was going to be the Host of, and Blog agreed and said that she would go Phishing. The Hyper made some Raisin Cookies to go along with the small sandwiches she made. While she was doing that Blog went Searching on the Internet for some recipes with fish in them. Hyper Downloaded some really cool designs for her invitations. When everyone arrived she made some Refreshing lemonade and passed out the raisin cookies she made. Every one loved them but were still hungery but Hyper didn't have anymore food but then Blog arrived and  she brought the fish and some Worm soup. Then Hackers of all kinds came to the party because Blog was famous for her Worm soup. Hyper also invited a Band Width and they were very Cache. Everyone was listening to the wonderful music when all of a sudden Hyper's Wi-Fi went missing and it became the Cybercrime of the century. Then a friend of hers, Trojan Horse, found her Wi-Fi and she was so happy that she gave him some Shareware as a gift to his whole family. Then a guy named URL stole the shareware but Trojan Horse said it was ok because he didn't want a gift anyway, he did it to help out a friend. In the end Hyper and Blog had a really good time at the World wide wed party, the newspapers said it was one of the most happening parties in the history of parties and that made Hyper really happy for herself.
