Access or Excel?

This semester we learned about both Access and Excel. Access seems to be a complicated version of Excel. With Access you are able to integrate tables, reports, and queries so all your information will be right there at your fingertips. Also by using Access you can use information from a specific table and turn it into a table. Also information for multiply tables are able to be used.

In the world of business it seems that companies would use Access more to hold information about clients and orders. Also information about shipping and history could be stored in Access. A company could create a report from the information saved in the tables.

Internet Policies

Internet Policies for businesses is a huge HR issue. Workers feel that they should be able to use the computer for whatever they feel to be appropriate while the company wants only work-related activity done on the computers. I believe that employees should not use computers for non work related activities besides emailing, which should not take more than 20 minutes. Workers should be allowed to use the computer for things such as shopping during their break or lunch time.

Companies have the right to check up and follow what is being done on computers since it is company property. Employees do not need to be informed about being monitored, since they should be following the set instructions displayed by the company.

Like the other answer companies have a right to monitor what is viewed on the screens. So blocking sites is allowed.

PowerPoint



This is my PowerPoint presentation over a gold company named Barrick. I used SlideShare to upload my PowerPoint from my computer to the internet. It's scary sometimes how easy it is to publish information to the internet. Who is to say that my information is correct.

I love my igoogle start page. It has everything I need all on one page. I have weather, email and news from around the world. I also enjoy the random youtube videos that appear for when I get bored!

I am able to add different tabs, so occasionally I move around my tabs just for fun. Another neat feature is I can change the background.

I love igoogle!

Collage













I used Picasa to create my collage.

All of my pictures are from my trip on the PacRim during my junior spring semester. These pictures are taken from the time spent in New Zealand and Australia.

Picasa was easy to create. All of these pictures were in the same folder, so all I had to do was push the collage button.

It was so easy to make!
