Today's Class Topics:

• Read and got feedback on our Job interest research paper
• Read and went over section 2 in Handbook
• Discussed Final project

New Things I Learned Today:

1. How to troubleshoot things on your computer. Like when your computer freezes up, or you have unwanted pop-ups.
2. Some keyboard shortcuts that are used in Apple Macintosh. Almost like regular shortcuts I have learned in Word class, such as Command + O, to open a new document.
3. Also learned about Data Security. How to determine what is a crime. The kind of threats come from the in, and outside. Outside you get your hackers, Viruses, and Freaking. As in the inside you get the employees that like to misuse a computer or data files as a form of vengeance or for a financial gain. These would be very harmful since all of the above have valuable information.
4. I didn't know until now how Businesses have Special Telephone Services. Such as call waiting, Select call waiting, Call forwarding, Select call forwarding, Three way conferencing, Caller ID, Busy number redial, Selective call acceptance, and Voice message. I knew of some of these, but some I was not aware of that are really a need to know thing when you open your own office one day.

Office Management Tip of the Day: Organize your desktop; manage the copies of your files, your computer folders and e-mail folders so that you can easily find what you want. Minimize the time you spend when searching for information. As Benjamin Franklin once said " A place for everything, everything in place".
