Week #2

Hyperlinks and Bookmarks

Once we were shown how to use hyperlinks and bookmarks I realized how useful and easy this function was. I gave my class an assignment that week using hyperlinks in their power point assignment. They really enjoyed learning this function because most of them were not familiar with how to use hyperlinks. I could see they were impressed with their ability to set up a hyperlink and use it. This was something that I might not have introduced in this course had I not learned about it in class.

Digital Camera Brochure

I found it useful to learn about the different aspects of a digital camera. I have had a digital camera for years, yet never really took the time to learn about the different terms in detail. However, one of the most useful things I learned from this assignment was how to set up a brochure. I never had the need to present information in a brochure. However, I can see how using a brochure to give instructions for an assignment or review for a test would be a good way to grab the attention of my students. I gave my software students an assignment this week where they had to use a brochure to present their information. Even though their information could have been presented in a word document they were more motivated to complete the assignment when asked to use the brochure format.
