type with me

Each collaborator chooses a color to indicate changes they have made.  In the right sidebar you will see those who are currently collaborating and a chat window.

Beneath the sidebar there are buttons allowing you to hide/show the sidebar and toggle the use of the whole window.  In order to get more use out of TypeWith.me, check out the tool bar along the top of the screen.  The options menu allows you to enable/disable authorship colors and the line numbers and to change the font type.

There are several file formats you can import and export.

One of the cool features of TypeWith.me is that you can save the document at any time and you can revert to any point you have saved in the past.

Another cool feature is the Time Slider which lets you go back and watch a recording of the document being worked on.  The stars indicate points that have been saved.

Each online document has its own unique URL you can share with others for real-time co-editing, and there's a small window for chatting on your edits. TypeWith.me helpfully assigns different colors to each author so you can easily track who's typed what, and the app instantly synchronizes as you type so changes appear in real time. When you're done, export your work to one of six file formats, including Word, PDF, and HTML.

Google Plus- explain what is does

Explain what it does-

WITH SCREEN SHOTS! 

Circles" groups your friends together

Google Circles are groups of friends you organize by topic: Friends, Family, College Buddies, Roommates, etc.

From your Circles page you drag and drop your contacts into each of these groups, which makes it easier to share what you want with them.

Sparks-

Sparks is like Google Reader, except it brings content to you automatically based on your interests. Each topic (tech, kitties, whatever) will get its own "Spark" page and provide links to related articles, videos, photos, etc.

Hangouts 

Hangouts are virtual rooms where you can video chat with people in your circles. For example, if you're not busy, you can start a talk with your pals.

So, basically, it's just video chat.

group messaging app

Gantt Chart :)

Here is my chart :)

Gmail

Google automatically scans emails to add context-sensitive advertisements to them. Privacy advocates raised concerns that the plan involved scanning their personal, private emails and that this was a security problem. Allowing email content to be read, even by a computer, raises the risk that the expectation of privacy in email will be reduced. Furthermore, email that non-subscribers choose to send to Gmail accounts is scanned by Gmail as well, even though those senders never agreed to Gmail's terms of service

project proposal

        project proposal and outline (what you intend to do and how)

Group - Lauren, Selena, Chiedza. 

Project proposal -

We are separating the group roles:    roles and responsibilities (who is doing what)

Lauren- Will be making tutorials on google plus and Google Docs. Comparing to 2 software. 

Selena - Will be making tutorials on Youtube and skydrive. 

Chiedza- will be making tutorials on cloud and exploring all the uses. 

•  identify your audience (age group, language, education)

The video tutorials are aimed at an audience between the ages of 12-90. The video is aimed for young or old, not matter how capable the audience is when using technology. The language that will be used to explain the programs will not be complex and will allow the audience to easily comprehend what the tutorials are talking about. The tutorials are used for educational purposes. At first the tutorials will be used for the school community to have access to tutorials that are educationally friendly and will benefit there knowledge and help them access a range of sites. 

What will the tutorials have? 

1.     The tutorials will explain how to program works 

2.     Comparing the programs to other similar programs e.g.: ever note & Google Docs.

3.     Why the programs is useful for people to use 

4.     The audience the site is aimed at

        time frame & resources (what you are going to do & how) – this will include a Gantt Chart

- I will be using the software FRAPS- which is a software that allows users to record what you are doing on the computer. By using this software it allows us to have high quality videos which allows me to edit and do voice overs. 

What is a Pseudo code?

A Pseudo code is an informal description of the operating and functional principles of computer programs or other algorithms. The purpose of a pseudo code is to comprehensively portray the conventional programming language and the key principles of an algorithm. 

Some examples of Pseudo code:

• IF is often portrayed by a diamond shape.
• ELSE means two options. 
• SET GRADE COUNTER indicates different variables
• INPUT means get a value
• LOOP Decisions often occur inside the loop. e.g 'while grade counter is less than or equal to ten' 
• PROTEST Repetition 
• TOTAL means being a container for storage. This will often commence with little to nothing, beginning with variables.
• POST TEST Repetition.

Tips:

• Always test algorithm with real data. 
• There is no standard writing
• Average is not restricted
• For multiple alternatives within a flow chart, use chains to link them
• Layout of an pseudo code:

First two lines set up the variable.

Line 5 builds up a count

Line 6 is utilized to stop the loop after 10. 

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality

1.       Define augmented reality (AR).

Augmented reality (AR) is the technology of combining real word images, video, etc. with computer-generated information and/or imagery

2.       Provide some examples of how augmented reality might be used.

-Picking furniture

-Finding Places/ Find out out street names

-Interactive Prints

-Update on social network

-Happenings around you

3.       Traditionally a user would use text entry to search for  information in say Maps or  a search engine. How does AR offer a different alternative?
AR allows the user to use their actions to find the infomation. Pointing the AR at the direction will give you certain infomation about it. It uses a filter search so you can find specific infomation.

4.       How might the following people make use of AR;

●        A mechanic
"ARMAR, or Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Repair, is a head mounted display unit that provides graphic overlays to assist you in making repairs. An Android phone provides an interface to control the graphics you view during the process. Published in IEEE, and recently tested with the United States Marine Corps on an armored turret, ARMAR can cut maintenance times in half by guiding users to the damaged area and displaying 3D animations to demonstrate the appropriate tools and techniques."

●        An interior decorator
It can be used to demonstrate what a certain furnish would appear like in a room and what an ideas can look like when the room is completed.

●        A student

Flowchart Symbols

Flowchart Symbols

1. What is a flowchart?

A flowchart is a visual representation that illustrates the sequence of operations to be performed to get the solution of a problem.

2.Describe the basic flowchart symbols for;

Flow Line

3. With the decision making symbol (diamond) and the process symbol (rectangle), what are the rules for how many lines may enter and leave the symbol.

With the decision making symbol one arrow enters the box but multiple (normally two) can leave. With the process symbol one arrow enters and leaves the box.

4. Study the sample flowcharts then create a flowchart for a coin toss where heads means Mary pays for the pizza and Tales means Bill pays.

Example.

SUM is a variable
Essentially before 'N' it really says 'let N equal 0'.

 

What is an Algorithm

What is an Algorithm

1.   boil the water,

2.   place coffee in the cup,

3.   place sugar in the cup,

4.   add the boiling water,

5.   add milk,

6.   stir.

1.           Examine the algorithm above. What two properties of the algorithm enable it to correctly describe the solution to the problem of making a cup of coffee? What is it that makes an algorithm correct?(Hint: what would happen if you swapped step "6" and step "2"?)

1.Specific
2.correct sequence 

Swapping steps would change th end product and this case it wouldn't work at all.

Define Algorithms for the following processes.

Posting a letter. 1.Write Letter 2. Place letter in envelope 3. Write adress of desired place on the front of the envelope. 4. Seal Envelope 5. Stick Stamp on in top right corner 6. Place in post box.

Making toast. 1.Place bread in toaster 2.Push down lever to start toasting 3.Wait 2-3 minutes or until toast pops up 4.Place desired topping on toast

Calling a friend on the phone 1. Select friend to call 2.Press green call button 3.Wait for answer 4. If phone rings out try steps 1-3 again until friend answers 5.Talk to friend

Today i created my first app here are some photos:

Basic HTML

There are many online tutorials on using HTML. The link below is to an excellent site that steps you through creating a basic page.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

Work through the first four pages – Home, Introductions, Elements, Basic Tags.

Use the tutorial and NOTEPAD to create a page displaying the following elements;

• Headings-
• <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <body>
• <h1>This is heading 1</h1>
  <h2>This is heading 2</h2>
  <h3>This is heading 3</h3>
  <h4>This is heading 4</h4>
  <h5>This is heading 5</h5>
  <h6>This is heading 6</h6>
• </body>
  </html>
• Background colours-
• <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <body>
• <p style="background-color:#FFFF00">
  Color set by using hex value
  </p>
• <p style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">
  Color set by using rgb value
  </p>
• <p style="background-color:yellow">
  Color set by using color name
  </p>
• </body>
  </html>
• Paragraph break
• <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
  <body>
• <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
• </body>
  </html>

The text on your page must be used to explain;

• The function of the Header, Title and Body sections
• The meaning of HTML
• The basic tags you have used to create the page

Note: you must save your file as “.htm”  - this will enable the browser to view the page.

Progress1

Today We started our assignment. I learnt the basics of Html, htm and webdesigning. I was able to put in a login in code on my home page of my webpage and was able to login and that linked me to the 2nd page. The secound page ( as seen below) is just a simple title and a backround.

At the moment this is on the basic layout which i have yet to plan.

Test Yourself

 

How do we know which is appropriate in a particular circumstance, for example how would you greet a;

·         Casual acquaintance : Hi

·         Your best friend: Hey there :)

·         Your Grandma: Hi, Hru

·         An old friend you have not seen for a long time: I havent seen you in ages , HRU?

In some ways computer systems are the same, communication between them relies upon agreed methods. These methods are called communication protocols.

The list below has some of the protocols that we have discussed before. Give an example of where they would be used.

·         TCP/IP-

·         http-

·         simple mail transfer protocol (smtp) - sending an email to another person via the internet

·         file transfer protocol  (FTP)- sending of files to another person via the internet.
