Presentation to Board of Education

Well, I finally got my Executive Summary uploaded onto google documents. This assignmnet was really tough for me. I couldn't find out anything on the interent so I had to call people to find infomation about Barbour County Schools and about the cost of microsoft. Dr. Pierce told me to call this one company and they helped me out wonderfully. I found a great price for academic system computers. Some things that would need to be considered though before this presentation was really given was whether the computers in the schools were macs or windows and to find out the number of laptops and desktops in the schools. The place I found the quotes was www.softmart.com. I talked to a nice guy named Steve. So here is my spreadsheet, my presentation and my executive letter. all these were done with OpenOffice which is something else I had trouble with. I do have to say that I like Micorsoft word way better.

So far I have learned alot of different strategies for moving files between computers. Before this class I used mainly email attachment and usb drive and the occasional FTP. But now I am able to use my blog and use Google documents as well. Along with that I have learned that different file extension (how you save a document) will help in in transferring them to places like your bog and also help you pull them up easier. Since this class most of my files are stored many places. I would probably say that most are in my bog and then there is my usb drive. I think some of these storage devices do have disadvantages, like the usb drive. You have to make sure that you have it with you always so that if you need to get a file you are able. I think the est bet is the FTP or the email attachment. I also like the blog idea now, all my thoughts and work are in one place.
