My First Blog Post - Getting Started with IS101

 

Hi everyone! 

    My name is Lida and I am currently a student at the College of Southern Nevada. I’m excited to be taking IS101 because technology is such an important part of everyday life and work. I work full time and also balance school, so learning skills that make using computers easier and more efficient is really helpful for me.
 
    So far, my first impression of IS101 has been that it’s actually pretty cool. I like that the class teaches useful tricks and tools that I didn’t know before. Even though I’ve used computers and programs like Microsoft Word for years, I’m realizing there are a lot of features that can make things faster and more organized once you learn how to use them properly.
 
    The topic I chose from Discussion 2 Part 2 was 3.5.1 – Formatting Images in Microsoft Word. Before completing the LabSim activity, I didn’t realize how many options there are for adjusting and formatting images in a document. I learned how to move images, adjust text wrapping, resize them, and make them fit better within a page layout. These features can make documents look much more professional and organized.
