Video Responses

1/18/11
 
The first video we watched about “Computer Literacy for the Mac” explained what operating systems are and why they’re important for running programs on a computer. It’s important to always have the most up-to-date operating system. This will ensure that you’ll be able to download and use most applications. The newest operating systems for Mac and Microsoft are Mac OS X and Windows 7, respectively. Most applications are available for Mac and Windows.
 
The second video taught us how to properly use folders. The narrator interactively displayed a folder and showed us all the possible ways to view the folder and its contents. We learned that after double clicking on the folder icon that appears on your desktop, you are able to choose which display you prefer to view the folder’s contents. List view displays additional material such as the size of the folder and when it was created. Column view allows you to track the path you took to get to the contents. Sub-folders can also be created to organize the contents of the folder. Both videos were concise and I learned a lot of new information. The narration during the interactive display was very easy to follow and helpful.
