CC or BCC

 

Definitions:

• BCC: A Bcc (blind carbon copy; also BCC) is a copy of an email message sent to a recipient whose email address does not appear in the message.
• CC: CC stands for Carbon Copy-if you type an email address in that line, that person will receive a copy of the email you are sending.

 

 

Differences: 

• The difference between Cc and Bcc is that carbon copy (CC) recipients are visible to all other recipients whereas those who are BCCed are not visible to anyone.
• CC: field recipients are others whom the author wishes to publicly inform of the message (carbon copy)
• BCC: field recipients are those being discreetly or surreptitiously informed of the communication and cannot be seen by any of the other addressees.

 

What is internet plagiarism? - The definition of internet plagiarism is when a person closely mimics or copies another persons works without giving credit to the author.
Who does Plagiarism hurt? - Mostly plagiarizing hurts yourself by not allowing you to learn and become creative for yourself. Also it hurts the author of the work plagiarized because their work is being stolen and not recognized.
Why is Plagiarism a problem? - Plagiarism is a problem for editors that require delicate handling. It is also a problem because so many youth do it and are uneducated about the consequences that come with plagiarizing.

The second I heard we were learning things on Microsoft the only thing I thought was " this is going to be a challenge." Well now that I have started the program I basically proved myself right. Microsoft Word has , in the two weeks I have been on it, made me want to cry, tortured me for endless hours, and last of all turned my eyes and brain to nothing more than mush. The biggest challenge I will face while doing Microsoft Word program is going to be patience. I am one person who has very little patience, so two hours a week on a computer will definitely do damage. Other challenges I will face are things such as: printing, spacing, coloring, learning about my keyboard, and the learning about all the options Microsoft offers.

STAY SHARP

 

Internet safety is not overrated!!!!

 

 

Do you have a family? young children who are constantly on facebook, chat rooms, youtube, and other internet sites? Well if you do you are probably wondering what are the best ways to keep these people safe.

 

A few ways to practice safe internet usage are.

• Never give out any personal information such as your name, age, address, name of your school, credit card info, or name of your parents.
• Never meet in person, you never know if people you meet on the internet are who they say. Meeting these people may result in sexual assault or even DEATH!!
• Use Gender neutral user names, in doing this there is less of a risk of people sending you pornographic photos.

Growing up in a sheltered society where computers and the global internet word were never mentioned or used it was no wonder I had nothing to do with bloggers or the blogging world. But as time changed computer smarts became as important as being able to write ones own name. So here I am sixteen years old staring blankly at a white screen asking myself a series of questions; What is a blog? Why do people blog? Who writes blogs? and what do people blog about?

What is a Blog?
     A blog is a type of website that is updated regularly with new content. Most blogs contain short, informal articles called blog posts. These posts usually contain some combination of text, photos, videos, and other media. At its core, a blog is just a space on the web that you can create to record and express your opinions, experiences, and interests.

Who Blogs?
     Blogs are written by people of all ages and backgrounds, from all walks of life.

Why do people Blog?
     To share my experiences and expertise

To speak up about an issue I care about

To become more involved with my hobbies and passions

To be part of a community

To advance my career or start a career in writing

To keep my family and friends updated about my life

What do people Blog about?
    A blog can be about literally anything. There are people blogging about every topic imaginable, from their political views to their pets.


Points came from http://www.gcflearnfree.org/blogbasics/1.4

1. What do you use computers for?

• Personally I am not a big computer person, I use them only for school assignments, facebook, looking up pictures for drawing and painting, learning new things ( if I am really desperate) and shopping.

2. How would you rate your knowledge of computers?

• I pretty much know nothing about computers. I would say I can run one about as good as cats can. Except for Youtube and Google I have nothing in common with them.
