Chapter 8 talked about computer security, which is a big issue these days. Common risks involved with computers are getting viruses, and having unauthorized users gain access to your computer. The best ways to avoid a virus are to use anti virus software, to scan things that you put into your computer, scan downloaded and attached files, and set up a firewall program.
Unauthorized users, or hackers, can gain access to your computer without your permission, but there are ways to try and prevent it. A good way is by logging out of websites with important data so it is not available to hackers. Also, try to change your password often and do not share it with someone who you can not trust.
This week I learned how to create a PowerPoint that can be a game. I never knew that you could have slides linked to skip to them, and then return to a previous slide. With sound and animation, it is a really awesome way to take things that my students will be learning about in class and put it into a game that they can enjoy while actually challenging their thinking.
