Hints+of+the+Week

=September 21, 2009: HINT OF THE WEEK - How to change text to table and table to text in Microsoft Word= Look on page 3 - Technology Operations and Concepts under Word Processing section.

=September 28, 2009: HINT OF THE WEEK - Collaborate with your peers?= Google docs is a good free way to accomplish collaboration and communication. However, try googling 'etherpad', and create a new page, invite your friends and have some fun. It is best to set a 'meeting' time to collaborate together, and respond to each others' posts. It seems to me a good way to have a meeting about a project when you can't all get together.

=HINT OF THE WEEK - Print out your computer screen.= FIrst of all, look into Jing, the Web 2.0 application we examined this week. I think it helps you record movement on your screen as well, you know, a video. However, on my PC, I just have to press the key that says PRTSC SYSRQ, and then move my cursor to a Word documnet and click paste or CTRL V and it is inserted as a picture. I'm not sure if it's a jpeg or what extension, but it acts just like a picture, and can be formatted as such.

=**HINT OF THE WEEK - What do you think?**= Have you ever heard of Dropbox? It's a free application that allows you to sync two computers and other devices like phones together over the internet. I would like to try using it because I have files that I would like to maintain from both computers. I'm worried about downloading their software that lets them then get into my computers. Does anyone know anything about it?
