Today we corrected your homework questions and then covered other aspects of Online Safety.
When online, we talked about:
  • Shielding your identity
  • Backing up files / folders
  • Checking antivirus software levels / operating system updates
  • Spyware (e.g. keylogging) & Antispyware software
  • Using secure and reputable online traders for electronic transactions.

We did a short revision exercise where everyone identified one thing they had learned over the past few weeks.

I then got you to use a plain text file and edit this in Word, making changes such as:

  • add headings
  • add a header / footer
  • Use Border outlines
  • Page Numbers
  • Word Art
  • Bullet Points & Nested lists / bullets
  • Inserting a Footnote
  • Using ctrl-F or ctrl-H for Find / Replace
  • Using ctrl & right arrow to skip to the end of a word / ctrl shift & right arrow key to highlight a word at once.
  • Merging Table Cells
  • Full Justification of text
  • Changing Line spacing (from 1 to 1.5)
