__Notes__
-Think about your concept of an ideal student. Our ideal students are often times the way we want the students to interact with ourselves. -Bloom's Taxonomy simply asks, "Do kids think good?" The levels of bloom's taxonomy are memorization (knowledge), comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Higher level teaching is evaluation and lower level teaching is to teach for knowledge. -The wiki policy asks, "How are people going to interact with your website?" -Feature creep is when a program works perfectly fine but then gains so many features that it ruins the program. (i.e. Microsoft Word) -If you go to view then tool bars, then you can decide which tool bars appear in Word. If you select the drawing function a tool bar will appear at the bottom of the screen with many unique features. media type="file" key="Tool Bar.swf" -To insert an image into Microsoft Word, right click on a picture in an internet browser and click copy image. Right click in Word and select paste. Go to view then tool bars and select picture, then a tool bar with unique functions for the picture will appear. -In order to create columns in Word, go to the top right of the screen and click tool bar options and choose the columns button. Actually click the columns button and choose the amount of columns desired. -Go to options and go to spelling and grammar. Select show readability statistics. This is one of the best features of Microsoft Word. -To remove formatting on copied text use the clipboard function located next to the text, after the text is pasted. -In order to make a graph in excel, input the data into excel then select the graph button. Choose which kind of graph you want to use then draw a box around the data. Fill in all of the chart options then choose finish. -When moving the mouse around the border of a picture in Microsoft Word, two arrows means resizing the picture and four arrows means moving the picture.
