Post #3

In Chapter 4 the book talks about input devices. Some different input devices, which is any hardware component that allows you to enter data, programs, commands, and user responses into a computer. They include keyboards, pointing devices, scanners and reading devices, digital cameras, audio and video input devices and input devices for students with special needs. A keyboard is a group of switches resembling the keys on a typewriter that allow users to enter input. Pointing devices include a mouse, a touchpad and pointing stick, a trackball, joystick and wheel and touch screen. A scanner is an input device that captures an entire page of text or images such as photographs or artwork electronically.

I was really excited about learning how to use the Inspiration software. I had never known how graphs and other outlines like that had been created until today. The information that I learned in Inspiration today will help me when I need to make a graph to help my students or give them an outline to use when they are studying for tests.

Boy gotta love life, right? The Packers are 2-0 on top of the division with the Detroit Lions. The Seminoles just barely won, but a win is a win no matter if it is pretty or not. My friend just turned 18 this week and she was very excited. I trying to get over a cold and I think it is going to be the death of me. I was called a Master Chef at my job by some weird customer. The weather is starting to get cooler and I am SOOOO excited. My roommate is going to be bummed because we were suppose to decorate our apartment for Halloween (Very Exciting) but my job called me in to work on my day off. but hey gotta pay the bills. Oh and then I find out the Dale Jr. will be driving the # 88 car in 2008 and he is going to be sponsored by AMP energy drink. How stupid? He went from Bud to AMP!! Well at least it's not a rainbow! GO PACK GO!!

There's definitely a cold going around. If it's like a sore throat/headache/achiness/nose problem thingy then I have it too, and so do ALL of my roomies =(. One thing that sucks about a big crowded school- one person gets sick, everyone else gets sick too. Get better!
