Dreamweaver Chapter 1

Dreamweaver is a powerful tool people can use to make good websties and it also allows a lot of customization. Dreamweaver can create professional-looking web pages.

Screen resolution-Number of pixels in the width and height of a computer screen. A higher resolution makes the picture look a lot better but the objects on the screen are a lot smaller.

Property inspector-displays settings for the selected object's properties or attributes.

Insert bar-allows easy and fast access for frequently used commands. I would use this to speed things up.

Title bar-displays the application name

Panel groups-sets of related panels docked together below one heading

Status bar-provides information about the document you are creating displays the following things; tag, select tool, hand tool, zoom tool, set magnification, window size, and estimated document size and download time. I would use these to help me.

Menu bar- displays the Dreamweaver menu names and each menu shows a list of commands you can use to perform tasks such as open, save, modify, preview, and insert data into your webpage. I would use this to pretty much use Dreamweaver since it has everything.

Line break-to start a new single line without a blank line of space between paragraphs

Color picker-picks color for the page or text. I would use this to pick the color of the backround and text.

Eye dropper-lets you select color to make a perfect match. I would use this to pick a special color I want.

Web page title-the title of a webpage

3 Goals for This Semester

One personal goal I have for this semester is to pay closer attention in all my classes so I learn more.

A goal I have for school is to be more organized. I lose a lot of papers and stuff in my backpack and then I don't get credit because I can't find it even when I did the assignment.

My information technology goal is to work faster and harder so if we do another assignment like the pasta divine one then I can finish it. I didn't get to finish it because I kept running into problems so yeah.

What is the benefit of easily connecting to people and information?

The benefit is you can easily connect to people and information easily. Back a long time ago it would take weeks or months to contact people that weren't nearby. Now it takes seconds with very little effort. The only thing that could be done for contacting people that were far away was by writing letters.  Today we have email, social networking sites, phones for calling and text messaging, and a bunch of other tools on the internet.

What Kind of Application I Would Make

If I could make an application, I would probably make a game. I think it would be intense and games sell pretty well so I could make a bit of money off it. If I didn't make a game I would probably make some sort of tool to help people, although I'm not sure what exactly.

Software Suites

A software suite is a collection of seperate application programs bundled together and made available as a group. It is cheaper to buy a suite than all the applications invididually.
Productivity suites you can buy and use for buisiness work. They are professional-grade application programs.
Alternate office suites you can download off the internet for free. The downside to this is if you share or save a document on the internet with an application depends on the server that is providing the application.

How can technology be used to create?

Technology can be used to create software and applications.  Applications, like those found on an iPhone or iPod, are small programs. Some you can play games on and some do things like check the weather and check your email.

And using technology to create is sort of easy but sort of complicated.  Anyone could do it, but only more experienced people can design more complicated applications and software.

iPods

iPods are basically portable music players that can hold large amounts of memory. The creator of the iPod is the company Apple. There is a lot of different models of the iPod so different people can get what they want for their needs. Most of the newer models are touch screens. Touch screens are controlled by your fingers. The previous models of the iPod mostly had small finger pads you used to control what is going on.
