Why are you giving me extra help on the MVPS assignments?

You may wonder why I am giving you this "extra help". Well, I just want you to know that you can find resources all over the web if you know how to search. We will learn better searching techniques (besides just ASK.com and google.com later during the class.

You may even want to write an article for wikipedia. Wikis are just another form of "Communications in Business" which we will discuss in our class. (We will learn more about email, resumes, social networking such as facebook and myspace, BLOGS, and jing.) And if you do write and publish your own wiki, let me know and you can earn bonus points on your grade

Here is a video tutorial on how to make a wiki, just in case you want to try it!
Wikis in Plain English




Dropbox 1.04

• You are asked to write a silly sentence about computers and then define the words you use.
  
• Are you stuck trying to find some of those terms?
  
• After you read Lesson 1.04, try this wiki article for some new ideas for computer terms: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_words_about_computers.
  

Dropbox 1.05

• You are asked to research and write about your "dream" computer.
  
• In addition to the links in Lesson 1.05, Check out the ads on Amazon.com, Best Buy, and also computer company sites such as Dell, Gateway, Apple, and Hewlitt Packard. (There are many other companies who sell computers but are not listed here; find your favorite!)
• Did you know most computer companies offer a discount for students on computers, printers, and software? These discounts can save you some serious money so always ask before you buy!
