Electronic Presentations

Electronic Presentations are also known as slideshows that use digital pictures and information to show their audiences a specific topic. It can be used by a student giving a electronic presentation as a project for their science teacher or even a employee pitching a new idea to his/her company.

 order from most important to least:
-It can give a visual explanation of what you are trying to say
• It can be used to link complex ideas – themes, build up diagrams etc
• It can be used to include and interact with your audience
• It can be used to reinforce important information
• It can be used to summarise information

QR reader

I have the app on my blackberry phone but the image was too blurry to read when I took the picture of it.

The power of advertising

When I first watched this clip I had no idea it was a commericial for a hair product. You realize by the end that they are trying to get you to buy into their products by making you feel different emotions as your watching. It really is different from the regular advertisments.

Gigablast

After looking at the site called "Gigablast", I learned what was meant by green energy is using energy sustainably and not wasting it. I will most likely make this my search engine at home because its better for the environment and it also lets you search things effectively.

Use of email in Business

I believe that number 7 is important because if an employee forgets about a meeting they can be reminded and make it there on time. Also they can be informed of last minute schedualing!

Mobile Phone Designs

Out of the 25 amazing different models of phones I looked through, it was really hard to pick just one I would like. Although I don't get to read anything about the features, from the pictures I thought that the new iphone next generation was really cool. It showed something that is connected to your wrist and then the menu is projected onto your hand where you can click the buttons just like you were using the touch screen. Another one I liked was the Fluid mobile phone design where it looks like the phone can bend different ways and be flexible.

Above were the phones that looked the most intesting to play with, but one I thought would make things easier was the nokia icon design. With it acting like a wrist watch, you could carry it around anywhere.

MySpace Takeover

I think that not everyone will view it on youtube so a better way to promote their new additions to myspace they coud have done one of the following:

-commericials on tv
-tweet it on their twitter account
-send a facebook message
-send emails
-add a viral pop up onto websites

Cybersmart Quiz

After taking the quiz about internet safety I tested my knowledge and achieved 10 out of 10!

Touch-typing

The advantages of touch typing are endless! If you are takign the time to search for each word and not using correct hand placement, typing takes twice the time and effort. Some jobs rely on fast typing and if you know your keepboard well enough then you are more prepared!

Using Ecards in Buisnesses

Assignment: 1. Why should a business use e cards?

 It's really important for businesses to incorporate e cards into their  routines. This is because in order to keep up their popularity and sales, a good relationship with their clients is necessary. If there was something needed to be told to a client, a regular email could work but is not as effective. Going online, picking an appropriate e card to suit what they need to say shows the effort they put into things, and that they are being thought of. Since there are always many clients its important for them to feel like they stand out, and are liked or else they could leave the business.

Communicating Skills

After reading through that website and then taking the personal test according to my communication skills, I recieved a 47. It said "You're a capable communicator, but you sometimes experience communication problems. Take the time to think about your approach to communication, and focus on receiving messages effectively, as much as sending them. This will help you improve." I think this applies to me and I will work on my communicating skills more because they are important in life!

Also when they talk about "Cultural Barriers" They are referring to effective communication with people of different cultures is especially challenging. Cultures provide people with ways of thinking--ways of seeing, hearing, and interpreting the world. Thus the same words can mean different things to people from different cultures, even when they talk the "same" language. When the languages are different, and translation has to be used to communicate, the potential for misunderstandings increases.

Teddy Bear Party

Today is Bear day according to Holiday insights. This is my plan:

1.Send out my invitations from school at http://www.pingg.com/ .

6. Bake a bear-shaped cake
7. Hide and go seek
8. Sing campfire songs and play wii

10. Watch a movie together
11. Everyone will go home and sleep!

The End. Can't wait, this WILL be the highlight of my week!

Going Blog Wild: Swiftpoint - www.futuremouse.com

This mouse really caught my eye. I chose it because of its many features. It's quite small, wireless and can travel wherever you go right attatched to your computer. A lot more precise than a track pad, it can be used on any surface available including your touchpad. It looks like it smoothly moves over surfaces enabling you to work quickly and effortlessly. It seems almost too small for certain hands put its pen-like grip makes it fine to use for any size of hand. Therefore, all of those factors make it a hassle free and ideal mouse.

Long term weather forcast

The weather is always changing. Sometimes if I check at the start of the week it will change in a couple days. That is why I think it is not completely accurate although a good effort to give us an idea of what the winter could turnout like.

Working at Google

I don't think I've ever seen such a well put together work environment for the employees at Google. I wish every job had the same opportunities as it does there! I think no one would ever want to leave work because I personally would rather just live there.

Animator vs. Animation

This video would go great with the song "Eye of the tiger" because the video could use a good beat to fight with

Response to Stop Motion Videos

After watching these two videos, blog your thoughts as to how you might use stop-motion to communicate in one of your other classes.

Free Microsoft Programs

Selections:

1. Microsoft Transliteration Utility (TU)

This program is an easy translator for someone who needs a dependable source to convert their text into another language.

If you wanted to talk to a friend in a foreign country this is the perfect translator to communicate successfully over the computer.

Thoughts on Digitally shopping

Technology has brought us so far since the dawn of time and we now have more and more amazing opportunities to make our lives easier. One of the things that I think is a pain personally, is trying on clothes before you buy them. It would be way easier if we could digitally try on clothes without physically doing it. Well now we have that! Just as the video showed, the girl picked through different clothes and different colours just like she would in real life.

The weeks so far...

From the very beginning in this business class we have been constantly learning about computers as well as different ways to communicate. These skills are useful in life but can also be applied to other subjects in school. Since I have learned things like how to organize information, it will be easier to be successful in my other classes.

Creative Resumes

Traditional resumes are usually boring to read and have no excitement to them. I think the way that the creative CV's are made are really original and could really show a persons personality just by looking at them. It would definitely catch the
companies eye who you were trying to persuade to hire you. This idea could be modified into numerous creative ways that would not only be fun but shows you put a lot of effort into your work.
