LECTURE
In lecture we learned the problems which are related to the internet. The present of problems is due to the characteristics of the internet.
Internet information and intent users
What are the problems?
• Intellectual property
- Inventions, ideas, music movie
- IP does not require registration
For more information overview intellectual property on http://www.bpmlegal.com/overview.html
• Plagiarism
Using people’s ideas and words without acknowledging them. Make your own ideas to avoid plagiarism and references the source use.
Also don’t forget that, privacy, security and freedom of speech are problems. To avoid copyright, plagiarism and intellectual property.
- Make sure you acknowledge other people work.
- Reference property.
- Copy and paste the URL.
- Make notes from the notes you have created into your own words.
- Familiarise yourself with the university guidelines
Protecting yourself
The principles for protecting yourself and your PC
- Install a firewall- protect against probes and unsolicited monitoring.
- Install Anti-virus software-educate yourself about unsafe attachments and know the latest viruses.
- Beware of attachments received in any files.
- Be aware of spy ware, monitors users, internet activity.
- Do not reply to SPAM mail
- Set online programs like internet browsers to maximum security.
- Update your anti-virus software at least weekly.
TUTORIAL
Using the APRA website (http://www.apra.com.au/music-users/online_mobile/online_mobile.asp), explain what you need to know about music and the web.
music downloaded over the internet is free which result in lost in songwriters and artists.
To give a brief overview of music copyright in this context, whenever music is downloaded or streamed over the internet, there are a number of rights which are exploited. These include:
the reproduction of a musical work; and
the communication to the public of a musical work.
A musical work is the underlying intellectual property contained in any song - i.e. the melody, chords and lyrics, as written by the composer.
(APRA|AMCOS,2008)
Write a plan to protect yourself from attacks on your privacy and security. This plan should cover the threats of viruses, trojans and how you can protect your own personal information. Use the following sites for reference:

How to Protect Your Computer from Viruses
.If you are using an unsecured operating system, then buying virus protection software is a nice safeguard
.If you simply avoid programs from unknown sources (like the Internet), and instead stick with commercial software purchased on CDs, you eliminate almost all of the risk from traditional viruses.
.You should make sure that Macro Virus Protection is enabled in all Microsoft applications, and you should NEVER run macros in a document unless you know what they do. (Brain,1998-2008)
.Install a firewall- protect against probes and unsolicited monitoring.
- Install Anti-virus software-educate yourself about unsafe attachments and know the latest viruses.
- Beware of attachments received in any files.
- Be aware of spy ware, monitors users, internet activity.
- Do not reply to SPAM mail
- Set online programs like internet browsers to maximum security.
- Update your anti-virus software at least weekly.

Reading 2 Summary: ‘Ethics in Computing - Social Justice Issues: Electronic Monitoring’
Electronic monitoring is composed of four sub topic which all discussed one main topic. These includes, types of monitoring example workplace privacy and employee monitoring which address privacy in the work place, such as now the employees are doing their job. Privacy issues which address legal issues, example, right to privacy in the workplace in the information age. Also privacy issues covered in defence of employees and in defence of employers. Furthermore suggested policies in business Technology leadership and blogging employees are becoming helpful in the workforce. And finally, privacy resources. Privacy international (P.I) was formed by human rights group in 1990 as a watchdog on surveillance and privacy invasions by governments and corporations. The aim of P.I was to protect people against intrusion by governments and corporations that seek to erode their right.

Reading 3 Summary: ‘Brown & Michaels - Overview of Intellectual Property’
The hardest thing due to intellectual property is to find the appropriate protection for people’s ideas and how to protect them. An idea can be in different form, such as book or computer program, a painting or a photograph. There are four basics kind of intellectual property protection. These are, Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Trade secrets. Patents are divided into three group or section. These are utility patents which cover inventions. Plant patents which is granted to those who invents or discovers and asexually reproduces. Design patents cover the “ornamental appearance” of useful device but not its function. Trademarks cover the appearance of product or its packaging. It also covers the name or symbol of product or service. A copyright protect the works of authorships composition or artistry and also covers other sources such as books, sculptures etc. Trade secret protection is available for secret used in business

LECTURE
Datum: A fact or propositions which have their own limited value, but can built into information. Examples: sampled data e.g. price measured data e.g. census data.
Information: a collection of facts or data that relate to each other. Example: Records: e.g. Budgets, Historical Information e.g. census data.
Knowledge: the sum of range of what has been perceived discovered or learned. Example: white papers, marketing strategies.
Characteristics of Data
- Factual
- Non-judgemental & inferential
- Transient
- Has no Intrinsic “meaning”
- Has no Intrinsic “value”
Characteristics of Information
- Summative
- Relational
- Dimensional
- Permanent
- Has meaning
- Uncertain value
Characteristics of Knowledge
- Inferential
- Experiential
- Judgmental
- Subjective
- Very valuable
Importance
Data is quantitative collection which is valid and unbiased
Information
Always meaningful.
Most inform
Must be related to the data.
Knowledge
Always clear from its origin
Have logical conclusion
Have explanation from the data and information.
Relationships
Data are individual facts or propositions, on their own of limited value, but can build into information. Information is a collection of facts (data) that set a trends and precedents in order to generate.
Knowledge is the application of human experience and wisdom on information in order to make sense of it. Data, information and knowledge are connected in steps. It works like a food chain where when one is missing the other can’t continue without it. This mean, data is raw and information is data that is meaningful and useful and final knowledge is the appropriate
TUTORIAL
a,Based on your research, define data, information, knowledge and wisdom.
Data is a fact or propositions which have their own limited value, but can built into information.
information is a collection of facts or data that relate to each other.
knowledge is the sum of range of what has been perceived discovered or learned.
wisdom is experience and knowledge together with the power of applying them critically or practically.
b.How can the understanding of the relationship between data, information and knowledge assist your university study?
the relationship between data,information and knowledge is that,data is the raw material,collection of data addressing one main point or relate together form information,and when this information become meaningfull,this is what we call knowledge.
Reading 1 Summary: http://www.systems-thinking.org/dikw/dikw.htm
According to Russell Ackoff, a systems theorist and professor of organizational change, the content of the human mind can be classified into five categories:
1. Data: symbols
2. Information: data that are processed to be useful; provides answers to "who", "what", "where", and "when" questions
3. Knowledge: application of data and information; answers "how" questions
4. Understanding: appreciation of "why"
5. Wisdom: evaluated understanding.
(Bellinger et al., 2004)
Ackoff indicates that “the first four categories relate to the past; they deal with what has been or what is known. Only the fifth category, wisdom, deals with the future because it incorporates vision and design. With wisdom, people can create the future rather than just grasp the present and past. But achieving wisdom isn't easy; people must move successively through the other categories”
Data is defined as the raw material which can exist in many forms and not meaningful. Information is defined as a collection of data that have meaning and may be connected relationally, and finally knowledge is defined as the appropriate collection of information which is useful.

-citations & references
• Information format: atom-based
- Books, papers, reports, etc.
- Pros:
- Exists in space… we can see it
- We can know where it is
- Easily concealed and to protect
- Difficult to change and copy.
- Cons
- Difficult to edit
- Difficult to distribute
- Bulky- Encyclopaedia and etc.
• Information format; bit-based
Such as digital reproductions and electronic content
Theirs Pros:
- Very flexible and cheap
- Easy to edit
- Easy to mass produce and broadcast
Their Cons:
- spamLack privacy
- Easy to fake, change & edit information
- Unsolicited broadcast-
• The changed face of goods & services from Atom to bit form
- Internet Banking
- E-mail 9from snail mail)
- Music (Mp3 players)
- Different changing face of goods & services
- TV (digital & live interaction *Foxtel IQ

LECTURE
Due to the information and communication technology (ICT), communication in the world has become different today compared to two decade years ago. According to the role of ICT, communication can be between individuals, individuals and organisations, with a business and so on. Also communication takes place within net works; it can be chain, circle, and wheel or all-channel network. There are four types of communication; these are Synchronous, Asynchronous, place Dependent and place
Independent. Examples of ICT use are mobile telephone (3G network), ipod, MP3, Lap-tops, electronic mail (e-mail) and multi-media communications. Also Blogs, pod casts, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) wiki webs and social networking are considered as examples of ICT use.
Benefits of using ICT
-ICT covers awide range subjects.
-Often available for free.
-The articles are rapidly and cheaply distributed.
-Subscription allows new pod casts be automatically delivered.
-Provide a means of communication for people with a common interest.
-Discussion boards enable the users to exchange views and ideas, furthermore, it help
People to solve problems.

Reading Summary 2: The problem with SPAM
Unsolicited Bulk email (UBE) is known as email spam. It has no incremental cost to the sender and has measurable costs on recipients and destroys the value of electronic mail. The problems are, spammer transmit a lot of message for less cost than transmitting one. This is due to lack of natural limit on amount of UBE that will be transmitted. “UBE increase the processing and storage requirements of internet service providers (ISPS) and business

Endnote is a database that can be used as a reference manager. Endnote is very scalable and searchable. Endnote can be used as a bibliography maker, endnote can be used in two ways: as a stand tone program and integrated into Ms word.
How endnote works.
Endnote is a flat file datable system which content is displayed in chosen fields and references in style. Using Endnote in vista, first of all open a word document, got to references and click on Endnote, finally choose and create a new endnote Library and save it as a separate file. However, to enter the references, got to references and click on new references and enter the information you want. The importance of using endnote is that, it keeps a large number of references. It handles a variety of referencing types or styles e.g. APA, Also can be integrated with Microsoft word. Endnotes have governing principles such as eliminate clutter from the display interface. Back up your library and so on. These principles may be vital, especially when using endnote repeatedly.
Tutorial
In tutorial we did endnote ii exercises for vista. In tutorial we were asked to do five different types of electronic formal.

Resource 1 summary- ‘Endnote’
Endnote is a program that can store, manage and search for references in a personal library set up by the user. Endnote reproduces the references, perfectly formatted in citations and reference lists. Using endnote, you need to create a new endnote library and save to the library. Once you save endnote, it automatically saves and can change when you enter or edit a reference. Everything save can be sorted into order by any field. To search for a file or an item choose search references from the reference menu and select the file you want.
The American psychological Association, 5th edition is the acceptable referencing style use in ECU; therefore, you need to save it in your computer. When the output style is charge, you can change it back by clicking on the down arrow box and select the style you want e.g. APA 5th. You can also do this through the style manager from the file, output styles menu. Also endnote can insert in-text citations. You finished document. Just position the cursor at the point where you want the in-text citation and will be insert.
Specific page numbers can be added to a citation by adding them to the suffix field. Endnote is a quick way of getting extended records and easy and accurate referencing method.
Resource 2 summary- “some additional endnote help”
Endnote is still very complicated in terms of transferring references that contain file attachments; therefore, transferring is not recommended at this stage. Entering page numbers may be challenging as well especially with the current version of endnote web and if the page is not entering properly, then the page most moved into the “suffix” to avoid the in format of the citation. Endnote web is designed to display and format Unicode characters in languages and will continue to improve Unicode support in future releases.
Endnote is designed to transfer references from Refworks into endnote web. This can be done by creating a formatted text file in Refworks; that is in your Refworks account, go to the references menu and choose export, select the references you want to export. Verify the Bibliographic software button by clicking on the text file button. Then follows all the steps in the support and services Endnote web and finally the transfer will success.

LECTURE:
In today lecture we look at Search Engine, which is a web-based program that crawls the internet, creating indices of websites, usually from the textural information contained on them. Examples of search engine are Google, Yahoo, AOL, Alta vista and Alltheweb.
Problem with search engines
-Misuse of the page scoring.
-Including of current “broken” links in a list of results to a query.
-Determining how deep to “tunnel” through lower ranked pages.
-Building enormous indices that include erroneous, irrelevant and out-dated results to user.
Search Engine interface allows the user to open the result in a new Brower Tab or window.
Search engine interaction types of queries are keyword, phrase, Boolean, etc.
Directories are human-edited. Example of reliable search directories are DMOZ, google and yahoo directory, look smart and about.
TUTORIAL:
a,List four strategies and explain their effectivenee.
1,searching by means of subject Directories;such as google and yahoo directory.Give a broad range of information.This suject-tree style catalogue arange the web into topics and each topic is list of subtopics and so on,which break down the topic to be more specific.
2,searching by searching engine; web documents are retrieved by programs and analysed.in search engine,keyword,phrase and other search tips are use to search information.
3,creating a search statement;This enable you to get a reasonable solution of what being search.When using this method,keep the following tips in mind;Be specific example,Hurricane Hugo,use nouns and objects as keywords,put most important term first and use at leastthree keywords.
4,Search tips;search tips work with search engines in their basic search option.search tips are use to help finding what you want.the commo search tips use are plus & minus,double quotation marks (" "), truncation (or stemming) and wildcards,Tips for Boolean Searches and so on.
Summary:
What i learn is that there is lot of information online,but need a searching strategies and style and skills in order to get the full text.Poor searching skills will result to failure,due to lack of sufficient information.

Reading 1 Summary- ‘Robert Harris-Web Search Strategies’
Internet search Tips and strategies
The internet has a large quality of information, with a lot of the newsgroups and web page. But to find quality information, you need to evaluate the web you using effectively. Search tips and strategies mostly work together. Creativity can help to generate some synonyms to use when searching the topic. There are several methods to be used in order to obtain enormous quality information. Using search tips and strategies lead to a good research, it’s also good to take time and read over the questions and understand it and plan how to commence your research. Before you begin searching it is very important to understand how information is stored and accessed on the web. There are three categories which the information of the web is kept. These are: the free visible web, the free invisible web and paid database over the web. Different search tools such as search engines and directories are used. Search engines consist of the interface which you type in a query. Directories are categorized lists of sites indicated by human editors. Directories are smaller compare to search engines.

Week 5 Reading Two
In 1990 the first search engine finding and retrieving computer files was developed by the McGill University. The large institutional computers placed their data and program documents (files) into two categories. These result in restriction of download of any files because the categories was to open and closed which uses password in order to logged in. the method use to find information of the net were directories and search engines. Directories are lists of sites, chosen by people which work like a library book. Search engines are the google, yahoo etc which you submit your research term to different search engines and gives you a number of pages to look through. Databases are the online journal articles, which are recent. And library catalogued are the printed information which is classified are catalogued by the data on its cover.

Reading 3 Summary- ‘Search Engine Optimization for Companies’
Search engine optimisation (means make the best or most effective use of).
- Search engine optimisation, analyse website to find out if the website is applicable for search engine optimization. This is because most of small business web sites lack sufficient descriptive text or have navigation problems.
- Search engine optimisation, correct any keywords which are misspelled and send a list of keyword phrases that might be used for the site on a search engine. Search engine optimisation, also set your benchmark, link popularity and measuring progress for your web site. However, search engine optimisation check website to attract the user and trust it.

week four
LECTURE:
In the Lecture covered the following;
Internet vs web.
-on the net: you find computers and connections are cables between computers.
-on the web: you find documents, sounds, videos, information and connections are hypertext links.
web can not work with out net.
Historical perspective of the web:
wed was developed by a researcher Tim Berners-lee in 1989, this was to facilitate sharing research information.
web is a uniform/universal of accessible datas stored on computers throughout the world and available on the internet.
WWW - the World Wide Web.
TCP/IP - Transmission control
protical/ internet protocol
HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol
DNS - Domain Name System
URL - Uniform/ Universal Resource Locator
WWW is the content of a network of computers using TCP/IP to communicate between each other.
common address used are; .com, .org, .net, for domain`s international and .au, .uk, .nz for country codes.
web browsers are programs that allow users to access and explore the pages of the WWW.
TUTORIAL:
How have the websites attempted to appear authentic?
This websites are well designed and written like other fact web that are used.The websites have links,the are updated and have contact like other fact websites.
Four clues that give away each site as being a spoof?
Site http://www.haggishunt.scotsman.com/.
1,You can't figure out the site,because the site is name Haggis hunt,but the animal there is platapus,this is to make the site look real,even though the animal picture's used is not the real haggis hunt.
2,Put games section on the site to attract people,though the games are not working.
3,The site is full of Advertisement. To send a message to people that,the site has many links.
4,Business link supported by UK goverment. So that people will thinks its being supported by the government.
Site http://www.molossia.org/.
1,Government information;the nation's constitution is made up five excutive members,which is impossible for a real nation.
2,This site is made up,example,look at the minsters of the nation,such as minster of sand,Rocks and dust storms.
3,History.;the history was not given in datails and what given sound false,example from history,"the molosian nation was founded on may26th, 19771."there is no year such as 19771 in the calendar history.
4,Culture. Again the site has nothing on culture,istead,full of geographic information and discription of the land features.
Before visiting http://www.martinlutherking.org/, what did you expect to find on it based on the URL?.
obviously since the site is for organisation, it should contain government information,history,
culture and Martin's history.
After visiting the site;The site was personal,it stored the historical of Martin Luther,what he does,how,when and where he was killed.Also touch on justice.
After researching on Martin Luther King,what do you think of the website?.The information on the site is bias and full of plagiarism.
Reading 1 Summary- ‘A brief history of the internet’
A brief History of the Internet.
Definition: Internet is a world wide broadcasting capability
a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaborating and interaction between individuals and their computers.
Internet is the most sucessful for researching and developing information needed.
The origins of the internet
Because of the technological evolution that began with early research on packet switching and the ARPANET ( and related technologies). Research continues to expand along several dimensions, such as higher level functionality.
Series of memos was the first recorded description that was enabled through networking, this was written by J.C.R. Licklinder of MIT in August 1962, discussing " Galactic network" concept.
In 1966 Roberts also went to DARPA to develop the computer network concept and gathered his plan for the " ARPANET", published in 1967.
ARPANET grew into the internet. Which based on the idea of multiple independent networks.

Reading 2 Summary- ‘ History of the World-wide Web’
History of the internet, internet for historians
(And just about everyone else).
How do we explain inventions & innovations? The History of the internet for historian’s information composed of five massive chapters which may be hard to summarise all. If interest to read more about this topic, yo can visit http://www.let.leidenunity.nl/history/ivh/frame-theorie.html
Chapter one covered, the development of computers till 1960s. The internet is a scientific new development that enables communication and transmission of information between computers at different areas (Griffiths, 2002). Basically this chapter explain how ARPANET was created and how things changed from ARPANET to internet and from internet to World Wide Web.

Griffiths, T. (2002). History of the Internet, internet for Historians (and just about everyone else).
In the Lecture covered the following;
Internet vs web.
-on the net: you find computers and connections are cables between computers.
-on the web: you find documents, sounds, videos, information and connections are hypertext links.
web can not work with out net.
Historical perspective of the web:
wed was developed by a researcher Tim Berners-lee in 1989, this was to facilitate sharing research information.
web is a uniform/universal of accessible datas stored on computers throughout the world and available on the internet.
WWW - the World Wide Web.
TCP/IP - Transmission control
protical/ internet protocol
HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol
DNS - Domain Name System
URL - Uniform/ Universal Resource Locator
WWW is the content of a network of computers using TCP/IP to communicate between each other.
common address used are; .com, .org, .net, for domain`s international and .au, .uk, .nz for country codes.
web browsers are programs that allow users to access and explore the pages of the WWW.
TUTORIAL:
How have the websites attempted to appear authentic?
This websites are well designed and written like other fact web that are used.The websites have links,the are updated and have contact like other fact websites.
Four clues that give away each site as being a spoof?
Site http://www.haggishunt.scotsman.com/.
1,You can't figure out the site,because the site is name Haggis hunt,but the animal there is platapus,this is to make the site look real,even though the animal picture's used is not the real haggis hunt.
2,Put games section on the site to attract people,though the games are not working.
3,The site is full of Advertisement. To send a message to people that,the site has many links.
4,Business link supported by UK goverment. So that people will thinks its being supported by the government.
Site http://www.molossia.org/.
1,Government information;the nation's constitution is made up five excutive members,which is impossible for a real nation.
2,This site is made up,example,look at the minsters of the nation,such as minster of sand,Rocks and dust storms.
3,History.;the history was not given in datails and what given sound false,example from history,"the molosian nation was founded on may26th, 19771."there is no year such as 19771 in the calendar history.
4,Culture. Again the site has nothing on culture,istead,full of geographic information and discription of the land features.
Before visiting http://www.martinlutherking.org/, what did you expect to find on it based on the URL?.
obviously since the site is for organisation, it should contain government information,history,
culture and Martin's history.
After visiting the site;The site was personal,it stored the historical of Martin Luther,what he does,how,when and where he was killed.Also touch on justice.
After researching on Martin Luther King,what do you think of the website?.The information on the site is bias and full of plagiarism.
Reading 1 Summary- ‘A brief history of the internet’
A brief History of the Internet.
Definition: Internet is a world wide broadcasting capability
a mechanism for information dissemination, and a medium for collaborating and interaction between individuals and their computers.
Internet is the most sucessful for researching and developing information needed.
The origins of the internet
Because of the technological evolution that began with early research on packet switching and the ARPANET ( and related technologies). Research continues to expand along several dimensions, such as higher level functionality.
Series of memos was the first recorded description that was enabled through networking, this was written by J.C.R. Licklinder of MIT in August 1962, discussing " Galactic network" concept.
In 1966 Roberts also went to DARPA to develop the computer network concept and gathered his plan for the " ARPANET", published in 1967.
ARPANET grew into the internet. Which based on the idea of multiple independent networks.
In 1961 Kleinrock shown tge packet switching which was more efficient switching method.
After DARPA in 1972 Kahn shortly introduced the idea of open- Architecture networking.
Now, internet act as a collection of communities, technologies and it`s success largely attributable to bolt satisfying basic community needs.
In the late 1970`s the internet growth increased massively and was accompanied by a growth in the size of the interested research community.

Week three
LECTURE:
How things have changed:
About 300BC,people used to research information from the ancient library of Alexandria. But when it got burnt a lot of documents and information were lost and only a small proportion left.
During that time, the information were stored in written copied,but when a new technology was introduced everything changed.And now all information are stored in especial devices,which made it easy to access any information from other part of the world.
Online libraries and database.
-online libraries are electronic books, online journals, online text repositories,
musicals & art works.
-online database & libraries are very useful source of information and very similar.
-many subscription are free,current and informative.
-essential for uni work(research).
Advantages of online Libraries & Databases.
- are convenience.
- are hidden for academic use not for market.
-currency-journals and other articles are updates.
-Electronic formats- easy to access at any time.
-comprehensive.
Disadvantages of online Libraries and Database.
-The content is hidden & only accessible by subscription(specific databases).
-most search engines do not access database & library index, therefore require skills.
- they are full of advertisement.
- overloading information.
- difficult to navigate.
TUTORIAL:
At tutorial we were asked to find a journal article on a online journal addressing the topic "the economic impact of global warming on business".This was to give a basic knowledge on how to search information on articles using online database.To be expert in searching,you need to learn some searching styles and strategies such as,searching tips,which will help you to gather a basic information.The following are example of search tips;
a. 10 useful functions/ search tips from the ECU library site, giving a brief explanation of each.
1.using subject;Searching using subject is one of the best thing to use because,it may be built for broad area or specifit topic.
2.searching using Keyword; This is also another way you can use to search.When using it use synonyms.use exact phrase and directory search to better your result.put most important keyword first.Example:effect on health care.
3.use the plus (+) and minus(-) signs in front of words to force their inclusion in search.
Example:+tea-sugar.no space between.
4.Using faculty;searching using your discipline;example on the topic "health risk",you will use faculty of computing,Health and Science(FCHS) to search the topic.
5.use double quotation marks(" ")around phrases to ensure they are searched with the words side by sidein the same order.Quotation marks is not use around a single word.
6. using Boolean search,alway use capital letters e.g AND,OR,BUT,NOT.Example,Euthanasia AND effect on health care.
7.using wildcat and truncation(e.g.,*,%)to look for variations in word form.Example is %aluel%this will lists all words started with (A) and finished (L).Example2,inter*returns interact,interaction,interactive.
8.when searching within a document for loction of your keywords(s) use the command on the page.
9.combine phrases with keywords,using the double quotes and plus(+) and minus(-) signs.Example: +school+"university"-Primary-child care.
10,Know the default(basic)settings your search engine uses(OR or AND).
a,we were asked to search for a journal article on Economic impact of glabal warming and screen shot it.

Reading 1 Summary- ‘Finding what you want on the web’
Finding what you want on the web.
Though Google is the largest, fastest and most usable search tool, it needs to be avoided.
Avoiding the addiction to Google, may not be possible when it is taken seriously and making it as a resolution.
To get better at searching can be truckle at different ways. Search for credible sites and blogs.
Wide- ranging web indices.
Search for blogs which are available online because their information illuminates stories and subjects and gives pointers to other online resources.
There are a lot of resources available online, The World Wide Webs which are accessed by search engines.
Searching well
List different resources, each suitable for different sorts of search, “Much web content is hidden behing firewalls or subscription service”, to get this information you need to search it using different search engines and by typing a couple of keywords and phrases.
Reading 2 Summary- ‘Bare Bones Lesson 7: Basic Search Tips’
Bare bones lesson 7: basic search tips.
Search tips are very important, because they help us gather information. Search tips work hand in hand with most search engines. Example of search tips; use the plus (+) and minus (-) signs in front of words to force their inclusion. Example + salad – tomatoes.

week two
Lectures:
We learned the common tasks of PC such as word processing, creating/editing spreadsheets, creating presentation, internet browsing/surfing etc.Also we learned how to access these tasks.
PC is use to achieve tasks such as File Handing, Presentations etc and their applications.
All tasks do require knowledge and skills at a certain stage.
Tutorial.
We were taught how to excel and build a table with the labels and headings also we learned how to create charts using chart wizard.
Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!
We did exercise that were designed to extend our knowledge on Microsoft word.
By opening a word document and copy then paste the text, then adjust the text to the word document by:
- adjusting the typeface
- adjust the margins & alignment
- adjust line spacing
- create headings using the document map features
Also copy and paste the table to contents then create dot leader.

Reading 2 Summary- ‘Graphic File Formats’
Bitmap (.bmp)
Definition: - BMP is “the standard windows bitmap image format for PC”
- To save an image in BMP, you need to prevent the effect of the amount of colour & file-size of the image by selecting a specific bit out of 24 bit.
- For 4-bit & 8-bit use (RLE) which is less loss and have no effect on image quality.
Compu serve (gif).
GIF is a squeezed format of maximum 256 colours that is designed to short time to transfer phone lines. GIF is use to “display graphics & images in HTML”.
Joint photographic Experts Group- or jpeg (jpg)
- JPEG is used to “display image on the internet”
- JPEG keep all “the colour information in an RHB image”
- When saving an image in JPEG reduce the size of the file.
The tagged- image file format (TIFF)
- TIFF is an exchange files between “applications and computer platforms” which is read by both Macintosh and windows computers.
- The TIFF support LZW by reducing a method of image which uses mathematical formula.
Photoshop Document;
-Photoshop has layered image formats, which support at least two or more layers of visual data.
-These layers have transparency space and allow another layer at the top.
