In Chapter Three we were asked to examine different types of software. Such as application, productivity and multimedia software. While reading we learn that System software is really the outline to all types of software; they control the operations of the computer. Application software is designed to perform specific tasks. It can be used for many things such as business, school, home, communications and even for graphics. Productivity software allows people to be more effective and efficient while performing daily activities. Some examples of this kind of software are word processors and spreadsheets. Graphic software is also mentioned and through it you can create presentations. Which can be used for business, school and even personal entertainment. Multimedia software includes graphics and videos. Basically any type of software can be used, some more efficent in the work place versus the home but all in all they can be used in both.
For the past assignment we had to create a newsletter. I learned some helpful things about formatting and editing. Such as using columns, shading and hyperlinks. As well as reviewed old skills like clip art and word art. We also got to make up stories which was alot of fun; made me look forward to sending a monthly newsletter to all the parents.
In my Intro to Education class we found out that Florida is in the middle of all the other states regarding salary to teachers. We use to be at the very bottom. Also I learned some schools will help you fund further education. This information is especially helpful if I'm planning on getting a masters or anything and most likely I will be.

I didn't know that Florida wasn't at the bottom anymore. I think all teachers are underpaid. At least you know they aren't just doing it for the money though right?
education majors can also get student loan fees waived in some situations, which is nice.
i think its good you are learning lots in your other classes!...keep it up!
