Documenting a day with Microsoft Office 365






 Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can all be used for specific things such as projects, keeping track of inventory, or data and essays. They are great for not only school projects but can be used by many different businesses as well. While using all three while documenting a day of my life it was clear that they all had their own advantages and disadvantages. Reflection is a great way to provide your experience with the application and will help to find out when each should be used. 

Word works best when completing an essay due to its many different tools. Word allows the user to change the font, the font size, the alignment of the text, the format of the text, and it will enable the user to bold or italicize the text. All of these are beneficial when it comes to creating an essay. Excel works best when you need to keep track of data or inventory. It allows the user to create formulas to calculate data, charts that can keep track of a business's budget or how much a specific product sells compared to some other product, and tables to help track inventory. Microsoft Presentation would be best used when creating projects. Powerpoint allows the user to use any slides that they want and pick a design for the slides. It also allows the user to insert pictures with text boxes to explain them, as well as several animations and transitions that can be put on the slides or words on the slides. The application that I found to be the most useful in documnenting the information about my day was excel. This allowed me to create a table of the tasks and determine how much time is spent on each one. Microsoft word can be used by students to take notes and can be used by businesses to type up important documents. Powerpoint can be used by professors to create their lectures and by businesses to create a presentation for a certain product. Mircorsoft excel can be used by accountants to keep track of a businesses money made from sales and money that is need to make more products.

Importance of Network Security

  Information and system security is a top priority for many individuals and organizaitions. They need to be able to keep a connection to the internet and keep their files safe in order to run their business. One thing that can interrupt this is attacks through ping commands. Two common ping command attacks are ICMP flood and ping of death attacks. The ICMP flood is a DDoS attack where the attacker overwhelms the targeted network with continuous pings. This can cause congestion in the network and prevent people from accessing it. The ping of death attack is a variation of the ICMP flood. This is also a DDoS attack, but this time the attacker sends oversized ICMP packets that exceed the packet size. This causes the targeted system to crash or freeze. Other attacks that can happen to individuals and organizations systems or networks are computer viruses and phishing attacks.  Computer viruses are programs that are spread throughout the computer, starting in the files or system...

Programming with Scratch

Image
  Scratch is a great website to use if you are just starting out with coding. It is very straightforward and easy to use. There are other coding languages, such as Machine language, Assembly language, and High-level language. All of these programs can be best used in their own ways. The differences between the coding languages can be what makes you decide which one to use.  I had a good time creating a program on scratch, and the experience was very rewarding since I have little experience with coding. One difficulty that I encountered on scratch was when I tried to get the one sprite to ask the other what its name was and have the other one answer using the sensing option. I overcame this by using the looks option so I could get them to say, “What is your name?” and then I used the wait command before responding so that it would look like a real conversation. It was nice to see how each part of the code worked by testing it after connecting it together. This allowed me to see...
