The second class

At first my group members and I got together and we learned how to make graphs using the survey we made and got answers last week. I was surprised because it was really easy to make the graphs. It takes me only one minutes or so. I thought it was useful when I write report because it shows us the result of survey visually and that makes the report easy to understand. Also, we learned how to use screenshot. I first thought that Rab called it awesome to tell us how useful it was, but later I noticed that the actual name of the tool was "Awesome Screenshot". It is funny name, but this screenshot was really awesome. After we download it there is one little button looked like lens of camera appears on the screen bar. All we have to do to save the screen is click the button. And we can also edit the image's size, or add some comments on it eaisily. I'll use it in my computer, too.

The first R&P class

The very first lecture we had from Rab was how fantastic Mac products are and how crap Windows products are. I am now using Mac products, so I want to use these opportunities to get to know about them better.
I learned several things in the first R&P class. I knew that Google has many tools such as Gmail or Google Documents, but I didn't know it has such a usuful tool to make a survey easily on my own. By using the tool, we can make various kinds of questions, such as multiple choice questions, the questions which request answers in sentence,  and so on. I was surprised to see that the result of the survey Rab offered us to answer was automatically formed as a graph immediately. I thought it was great because when I want to collect general opinions for my report or something, I can use it and after the survey, computer will do all the troublesome tasks like counting the numbers and making graphs. I am glad that I could learn such a convenient tool.
