Adobe Programs

Adobe Programs

1) Adobe are a company that makes programs called PDFs which stands for Portable Document Format. PDF files can contain click-able links and buttons, form fields, video, and audio. Two examples of Adobe programs are Photoshop and Flash.

2) These two programs are people friendly because they allow the user to easily understand how to  use these programs. It also helps designers and editors at work because it provides tools that will aid them in the editing and enhancing of photos.

3) I use there programs at school for tasks we have to do and last term we had an assignment for adobe programs. We had to make a webpage in Photoshop and import it into flash to make buttons and logos work.

Microsoft Outlook

 Microsoft Outlook

1) Microsoft Outlook is a Microsoft application. It is  mainly used for emails, however it also includes a Calendar, Task Manager, Contact Manager, note taking and web browsing.

2) The other applications that are associated with Outlook are Calendar, Contact Manger and Note Taking. The calendar could be used to give you notifications when there is something important on. The contact Manager could be used for storing your favorite contacts and creating a group for your contacts, which saves time. Note taking could be used for taking notes in a meeting to save taking out paper and it would also be faster than writing on paper.

3) The contact Manager can be used to enhance outlook by storing your favorite contacts sot that it is quicker to send emails to them.

Hello

My name is Alex Redding and I go to St Stephens Catholic College in Mareeba. I have been going to this school for almost 2 years. My favorite subject is year 9 ICT because I like the activities we do in class. I also like my teacher miss Leber because she helps me when I don't know what to do. The unit we are doing now is social media which is fun because we get to create blogs and wikis. My favorite unit so far has been audacity because you cut and copy different sounds to make them sound cool. I am creating this blog because my ICT teacher miss Leber gave me a task to Write and introductory blog of 200 words which has to include what we do in ICT and why I like the subject.
