In chapter three we learned about the different types of application software and how it works. We also learned about the different ways this software can help us in our education careers. The book stated that application software helps you by " helping manage student records, teach students with different academic needs, and work more productively. Microsoft is the maker of alot of these products. Some of these products are : Word ,Powerpoint, and Excel. Microsoft windows helps control all of these programs. Some of the things that I have learned since last weeks class was how to make a newsletter and how to make quizzes. I found it interesting that there was a proper way to do all of the controls considering i've been doing it the improper way for all these years. Even though im familiar with most of the microsoft products, its always good to read more about them and im glad i did so in chapter 3. I learned more that could help me accomplish tasks faster. Things that I would want to share with my classmates is im not really that into the whole blogging thing. Maybe it will change by the end of the class but i doubt it. I think its a good idea at times but it kind of freaks me out the people are reading an online diary. I do however i think that it is a good idea for educational and communication purposes, but i would never do a personal blog.
