Todays lecture Justine covered the nessesity of computers in this generations. They are vital with everyday lives and help complete tasks that need to be accomplished. Technology is increasing everyday and with out the knowledge of cumputer devices/applications and programs it makes aspects more difficult. Justine went through the basic outline on perticular programs that will best help us through university life and after. Some of these inculded;
- microsoft word
-microsoft exel
- microsoft powerpoint
-internet explorer
- outlook express
- adobe reader

In tut class today we focased more on microsoft word and exel to help increase our office skills for the future. Through blackboard, worksheets were accessable to be completed to help develope these skills. The first worksheet, through microsoft word was to copy and paste two paragraphs then complete six basic exercises, these included;
-Adjust the TYPEFACE
-Adjust the MARGINS AND ALIGNMENT
-Adjust LINE SPACING
-Create HEADINGS (using the ‘document map’ feature)
-KEEP HEADINGS WITH TEXT
-Include a HEADER/FOOTER

When finished that i had to copy annd paste the reference and alphabatize them. The next part i found a bit difficult as not use to these devices but i believe picking them up very well considering!
Once completed on to the next worksheet which consisted of microsoft exel. I had to open a new document and build a graph with heading and labels. When i got the idea I then had to create more graphs. An exciting workshop involving new programs that I was originally unfamiliar with, well how to properly use them! The reading attached really helped me to complete these tasks as it had diagrams and thorough instructions to follow, i was quite pleased with the end result. :)
