creating a visually pleasing and effective PowerPoint Presentation
Since there was no discussion post and only one major assignment, this week was a lot lighter. The OSINT presentation did take more time than I thought, but it helped me explore PowerPoint to showcase what I learned. Another topic in the reading material dealt with explaining each piece of an email. Although I already knew the basics (to and from, subject, body, and signature) I learned more about cc and bcc. I knew what carbon copy meant, but I had no idea there was such a thing called a blind carbon copy! This is something I can use in the future to protect my personal information when sending group emails to people I may not know. Lastly, I took a deeper look into how Wikipedia is used, monitord, and updated. I made the conclusion that this application may not always be credible to use as a reference, but it can still be good to look from a blog perspective and gather general knowledge.
