Mr. Hechler

I really enjoyed having him come in today to talk with us about the structure of a computer. I learned about the memory boards and the insides of the computers. I learned how to effectively clean a laptop and the inside of a modem.

So, my major is Marketing and i thought that it would be interesting to know alittle more about the Spurs and who markets certain things that they have at the AT&T.

Presentation

On Tuesday April the 8th, I am going to be doing my presentation on my major which is Marketing. I will give a list of why I chose the major that I did and certain classes that I enjoyed the most. I will also give a list of teachers that the kids should take and the ones that they shouldn't take.

PowerPoint Presentations

Something that really gets me are horrible PowerPoint presentations. Here are a list of things that you should think about before creating/presenting Presentation:

1) You need to be passionate about your presentation
2) Make sure to keep the presentation short
3) Make eye contact with group
4) Keep it simple
5) DON'T READ SLIDES
6) Have a visual theme
7) Use of appropriate charts
8) Use color well
9) Choose the correct font

I hope this list will help everyone when preparing/creating a PowerPoint presentation.

Internet Research

Mr. Nolan came in and spoke with the class today about how to use the internet for research. I learned some new ways on how to search certain subjects on google by using the advanced search. I was able to pick up some new tricks that he uses that I know is going to help me later on in research for school. I was glad that he came in when he did since I have a paper to write really soon.

PowerPoint

I have been using PowerPoint since I was in 8th grade. It is something that I know I will be using for the rest of my life. I learned from class how to link to powerpoint, some kind of document from Microsoft Office. I also learned many new tricks that are going to be helping with my my new job at Enterprise. My presentations were subpar, but I believe now that I will be able to have an effective presentation when presenting to my coworkers. I think that by having a simple presentation and effective graphs as well as visual aids, it can help your presentation.

Previous Computer Experiences

As a young man growing up in a fast paced technology world, my father wanted me to learn the ins and outs of Microsoft as fast as I could. He made me read books on Microsoft as well as other programs that would be beneficial to him and working at the farm and office. I learned as much as I could in High School and now that I have been away from the farm for awhile, I really haven't had the opportunity to be working on Excel and other programs like I use to. I really hope that I can learn the shortcuts and be able to remember what I had previously learned.
