Exercise #3

A very helpful tool to learn for basic computing is "copy, cut, and paste".

This is just what it sounds like: you can copy text, or cut it out, and paste it somewhere else!

Think about how you would do this with actual scissors and glue and now imagine that you can virtually do it on a computer.

The following tutorial shows how this is done in Microsoft Word:

You can use these tools in nearly every environment, not just Microsoft Word.

Welcome!

Welcome to Computers 101! I'm glad you are here...let's get started! This is our class "blog". Blog is a nickname for "web log". In other words, it is a virtual journal of sorts that anyone online can access and interact with. You will find blogs on any given topic out there, some with a few followers and some with millions of followers. Readers or followers of blogs can post comments while the editors of blogs can post content. I am the editor of our blog and you, the students in the course, are the followers.
