Today we learned about many things. The first thing we talked about was Photo Compostion Rules. Most photo follow these rules, and following these rules will make your photo's more interesting, that doesn't mean you should use these rules in every picture you take because your picture wont be interesting but these are just guildlines to help you take better picture. Before taking the pictrue the main thing you need to look at is what is the main subject, and decide how to do it. There are many rules but here are the main rules:
The Rule Of Thirds: It is the most commonly use photo technique. You divide the photo into 3 sections horizontally and 3 sections vertically. Where the vertical and horizontal lines intersect that gives you the general idea of where the
Simplicity: To try to focus on the object by making things around it more simple so it doesn't draw away attention from the main object.
-Focus: Sometimes when you just focus on one item the back will be blured and it focuses on the object.
Fraiming: By using the natural suroundings to focus or suround the object, giving the subject more meaning.
Leading Lines: Used to lead ones eyes deeper into the picture main subject.
Leaving space: Leaving space could give you a feeling that the main object is going into the picture if its on the bottom right, by leaving space on the left and the top, it will give you the feeling of it going into the picture.
We also learned photoshop today. Most of the moduals are the same like file and edit. Like DreamWeaver Mx there are something like docs ont top right, but they are called wells, and instead or ports which hold quick infromation, and it is called a pellet. Another important lesson was the average picture size. The average picture size is 4 by 6 inches. The most important infromation we learned was about revolution. DPI means Data Per Inch, and DPI is basically revolution of something. The revolution means the the amount of data in one inch and the data inside and inch is measured in Pixles. 1 pixle is 1 piece of infromation. On computers the DPI is is 72, and when you print the DPI is around 300 for the same picture. The more pieces of informaition to represent the same picture the clearer it will be, and since the monitors dont show each pixle really well so 72 is fine. Changing from 300 to 72 is easyer because you are taking infromation out, but when you want to change 72 to 300 it is harder because you do not know what the infromation would you add, with photoshop it just adds infromation mathamatically so it wont be clearer because the infromation may be wrong.

The Wiki + Blog work period
Today we are supposed to catch up on our blogs and the wiki. I have noticed that many of the newer topics were not there so that means that not many people actually went on the blog to post becuase I could think of many topics to write on the Wiki with, like the newer projects we got the Portfolio, and the 10 things about Micorsoft Word. There are also very few topics on Microsoft Word, and I use microsoft word 07 so it is really hard to find the same modual on Microsoft Word 03. I think I did enought work on my blog but I am not sure about the wiki. The fourums are not really active as before the chrismas break, but it has started to become more active. We were also infromed of a Microsoft word test. We all expected to have it sooner or later, and now we know the date we will have it. The test is Wednesday and finding all the moduals will be hard.

Mail Merge
Yesterday our teacher taught us about the cool new modual on Microsoft Word call Mail merge. Mail merge allows you to make Letters, Envolopes, Lables, or E-mails with the same body content but with different names and things that the person has done, so many businesses have a content with a large adress book and then uses mail merge and put int hte names of all the adresses into the letter, there will only be one copy with names on it but when you print it there will be 100's of copies with different names int them. This applies for envolopes aswell.
Mail Merge 2003:
Tools, Letters and Mialings, Mail Merge.
Mail Merge 2007:
Mailings, Start Mailing Merge, Start Mailing Merge
Once entered you can choose 4 things, Letters, Envolopes, Lables, or E-mails. Choose which one you want. You can make any one of the four have the same content but have different adresses and names on it which is pretty cool and you wont have to make 1000 letters for 1000 people you just make one body apply names and print them all out wich is pretty cool.
Once you chosen one of them it will give you 2-3 options to start you option off with. The options include the following:
-Use current document to start item with
-Choosing the template
-Using an already existing document
-Change document Layout
Lables and envolopes do not have Choosing templates and Using files becuase the thing they use to start first doesn't have templates and second needs a specific style document to start the design of the envolope so they do not have the 2, while Letters and E-mails do not ahve change document layout because they do not need a special layout to be made.
After choosing the way you want to start the letter, or any other letter as, you have to make the infromation to put on the letter like the persons name, adresses, and things that are indicated on a letter. There are three options for this aswell.
-Use existing list, so in other words you are listing an adress, name and things like that is save on your computer.
- Use adresses on Window Outlook
- Type new adress list.
If you choose type new list then type in the new adresses. When you are don the new list you can save it, but if you use the other 2 you already have one that is made so you don't have to do this step.
You then write the letter you will have to add the adress, names, subjects and other things that include information about the person you are writing the letter to, but don't type it add it throught the dock at the side bececause it will put every record that you have in that field in a letter so if you have 100 records and you choose the name and insert it there will be 100 letters with 100 of that different field in each of these letters.
The next step will be editing your letter so the fields will make sense together with the body of the letter.
Finally you will have to print it.
Field: A certain catagory of infromation like names, adresses, and others.
Record: Is a whole set of fields or infromation, like a record of a teacher which has their name ( a field) and other catagories of information

The Anonymous
A first day after we came back from the weekend we continued to talk about the Scientology problem. We talked about how dangerous could the Internet be. We also listened to the threat video that the hacking group Anonymous sent to the church of the Scientology. We also learned that Anonymous did many horrible things like ruin children's life by hacking into their computers and stealing information from there. We also discussed about how does the Hackers feel, some people mentioned that they were people with no life that lived under their parents basements, and some people consider this as fact, and our teacher told us that hackers are usually people who are unsatisfied with their life and get their pleasure by causing other peoples misery. We also learned that people who are hackers are not really smart. Not all hackers know how to use coding, some may just use hacking programs that other people wrote to hack, which doesn't make them smart, they just use programs to do the work for them. We also learned that downloading cracked software and other things like this may have bots in them. With these bots the hackers are able to activate them and use these bots to control your computer to do things for them like send them your personal information, a persons credit card number, and many more. Anonymous destroyed the Church of Scientology's server by have millions of computers go onto the same place at the same time which caused the server to crash, and the reason so many computers went on the server is because they activated the bots they planted on software that was cracked and whoever had that had a bot so the bot would make the computer go into the server, and this happened to millions of computers so that is why the website crashed. Anonymous currently has 3 videos and you can find them on Youtube.

Presentations Continues
Yesterday we continued our presentations. After these presentations we were taught 2 things, One was on Microsoft word and one was on ethics.
Our teacher taught us 2 features for Microsoft word. One was the header and footer features. Header and footers is a good addtion to you project, it makes it look alot more professional, when you add headers and footers it adds it to every pagel, and when you add words to these header and footers it is added to every page aswell and it numbers it automaticall, this is very useful, and it looks very professional and pleasing to the eye, this is a good way to spice up your project or paper.
Footers and Headers:
2007: It is very different from 2003, you can only insert them one by one or seperately which consumes more time but you can choose alternate designs for the headers and footers which spieces up the project even more.
Insert, Footer and Header, Choose either Footer or Header
The next thing we learned was how to make our own tool bar. It is much like the quick acess tool bar for 2007, but you have to make the bar itself first, name it than put it on all the moduals, but in 2007 it already gives you the most basic moduals, but this is a cool thing for 2003 because you can acess the moduals you use the most without having to search around for it wich is alot better.
To Acess it you: ?? filled in later
The next lesson we learned was on ethics. Tom Cruse made a video only for the Church of Scientology. Someone on the hand of this video and posted it onto Youtube. Sadly the Church of Scientology Sued Youtube and anything with that video. A hacking group called Anonomus, was angered by this and told everyone what they will do to the church of scientology, they all invoded into the church of Scientology website and destroyed it, all the infromation like the Church of Scientology's advanced handbook for the highclassed leaders only was released to the bublic on the internet. There are many movies about this on youtube so it is pretty cool.

Microsoft Word Presentation
Today we are supposed to present 1 topic of our choice on Microsoft word. I wanted to do Quick Acess tool bars, but I was only able to find it on Microsoft Office 2007 so I decided to do "Turn Table to Text, and Text to Table." To acess it go to:
2003:
Highlight Text,Tables, Convert, Choose one (Text to Table or Table to Text)
2007:
Create table, Layout, Convert to text
For 2007 I was only able to find Convert Table to Text.
I was able to present today but not everyone, I am sure the rest of the people will present tommarow.
I also learned many other things like what was a macro.
Macro: a program that you could write to do continuous actions so you don't have to do everything like center every piece of text continuously so you dont have to center it yourselves.
Drop Cap: This makes a giant letter in front wich you see in many books, this gives a cool looking design for the first letter that makes it look like a novel.
