Assignment #2

Well there was a lot of changes I made on the power point presentation. First of all I revised the whole power point. Let me began to explain the following changes are as follows:

1) I changed the patterns of the powerpoint presentation by making the titles fly in.

2) I darkened the background.

3) I brightened the text. Why I implemented changes two and three is because previously the text was very hard to see and read.

4) I made a title page so that the audience is aware of the topic.

5) Then I added new slides so the audience is aware of where we are at throughout the discussion. As I progress with the topic, the transitions will be easier to follow.

Above are ways I made the power point presentation easier to following along.

Just experimenting!

As you read the title you will know the following:

a) That I have not used blogspot before.

b) I am testing to see if I have the ability to post information.

c) I recieved an email stating that my account was locked due to they thought it may be spam and I would like to see if it is unlocked.

d) Last but not least I have read a few blogspot and I just want to say that they are very creative and I wish I had your ability to post pictures like you guys.

In conclusion look forward to further experimenting with the computer and technology that is available to me through this course ( although I am really scared).
