In Chapter 3 I learned about productivity software, which includes word processing software, spreadsheet software, database software, presentation graphics, personal information managers, PDA software, and software suites and integrated software. Productivity software is designed to make people more effective and efficient while performing daily activites. Word processing software is used to create, edit, and format documents that consist primarily of text. Spreadsheet software is software used to organize numeric data in rows and columns. Database software allows one to create a computerized database; add, change, and delete data' sort and retrieve data from the database; and create forms and reports using the data in the database.
Presentation graphics software allows one to create documents called preentations which one can then use to communicate ideas, messages, and other information to a group. Personal information managers (PIM) is a software application installed on PDAs that includes an appoinment calendar, address book, notepad, and other features.

Some of the new skills that I learned this week I think will definately help me not only in education but almost any where I work in the future. Learning how to make a news letter was really helpful. Knowing how to create columns on a paper, making a picture able to fit around the text by either make it a box, or behind the text. I really found this excerise to help me in my future career. Even if I work at an office or any where else I can alwasy know how to create a news letter for the office or the school and any where for that matter.

This weekend started off pretty good. The Seminoles won their 1st game, but just barely. The Green Bay Packers beat the Eagles!!! Woot Woot!! Unfortunately Dale Jr. did not make the Race for the Chase. :( My dad and sister had a great weekend in Tallahassee and I think my sister will be transfering here for the Spring. Monday though was definately not a good way to start off the week. I was sitting in my EDG 2701 class when I realized that I purchased the wrong book for the class. Then when I went to see how much I could get back for the book and possibly sell it back, I realized that I left my wallet in my truck! I ask FSU Bookstore how much the would give back for my book, $16 on an $85 book! YES!!! Got love Buy Back!! Since I left my wallet in my truck I couldn't buy myself breakfast. On my way to work it started to rain and of course our back door was locked. But hey life happens, Right? So far the rest of the week is better! GO Noles!!!! -----//----> GO PACK GO!!!
