Tracking Changes in MS Word
Track Changes
• Allows you to keep track of the changes you make to a document
• Extremely helpful when more than one person is giving input.
• You can also make “hidden” comments to others
• Will allow you to see who made the suggestions
• Allows you to do all of this without actually changing the original document until you are ready to do so.
Track Changes
• Making insertions – Inserting some added text to a document
• Making deletions – Removing text from a document
• Adding a comment – Comments will not become part of the final document. They are the just the thoughts that you are sharing with the others working on the document
Let’s give track changes a try…
Work on Project 1
• Finish research• Write up your 3-5 paragraphs• Begin editing using track changes
Synchronous & Asynchronous
Communication
Asynchronous Communication
• Communication that does NOT occur in real time
• Allows you to “say” things when you want to without necessarily having the other (s) “listening” at that moment.
• Email is asynchronous, you have to wait for the recipient to read it
Synchronous communication
• Communicating in real-time• Once you “say” something the
other(s) immediately “hear” you and can immediately respond
• Instant messaging and chat are two examples of synchronous communication
Instant Messaging
• Instant Messaging (IM) is an Internet protocol that lets you send and receive instant messages– An instant message is an electronic
notification of a new message that appears automatically on your computer screen
• “Buddy” lists are used to limit outside IM access to your computer to just those who you wish to communicate with.
Instant Messaging
• Instant messaging had become so popular that the term IM has now entered the English language (both as a noun and a verb)
Instant Messaging
• There are four major brands of IM:– AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) has over
100 million users– AOL-owned ICQ has 68 million users– Microsoft’s MSN Messenger has 66
million users– Yahoo Messenger has 63 million users
• As of now you can only IM those using the same brand of IM
Instant Messaging
• Like with email, you can use a web version of IM– This often has more limited features
• You can also download IM programming (like Yahoo messenger) which you then use for IM– This give you added features
Instant Messaging
• Though historically text only, you can now use voice and/or video when using IM
• Like with email, you are communicating with people, proper netiquette should be followed.
Let’s try using IM
First, set up your buddy list
