What I have learned so far

To be honest, my computer apps class is really helpful. It's teaching me things I never knew about how to look things up on Google. For example, I never noticed the little colored boxes in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. This lets you filter your search to just a certain color you want. It really helps with my art classes too. Another thing that helps filter your search is date range limiting. Once you search for something, you can filter your results based on the the date you want. You can find a lot more sites in that range that don't normally show up. It's also very helpful for history class.

Computer Apps Update

So far so good, just about two months into my computer apps class. We've been learning some cool new things that help us Google search faster and more efficiently. Want some examples? I learned that one way you can eliminate a word from a search is by putting a minus sign after the words you want included, and then typing the word you want out directly after the minus sign (no space). You can also search for something by typing in what you want, put a colon dot gov, edu, com, etc. after (no space between the colon, dot, and the gov, edu, com, etc. This helps you search for articles that come directly from those types of sites. It helps you eliminate all the sites that you feel are not helpful or you can't site for a project.

Infinity and Beyond

Infinity and Beyond
From dust we come
To dust we go.
Life is a circle,
Just go with the flow.
We rise in the morn
And retreat at night
Life will continue
No matter the fight.
You are worth it
No matter how small
So keep moving
And stand tall
Be proud of who you are
Be proud of the ones you love
You are not a mistake
You are the one who stands above
Above all who mislead you
Above all the evil spawned
Don't let them get you
Go infinity and beyond.
