For my Lab Workout #12: the Professional Learning Network, I used two of the bookmarks I had found and saved onto my delicious account and subscribed to their newsfeeds. I then added them to my iGoogle page so I can stay updated on new things going on on the sites. This is a screen shot of what my new "professional" looking iGoogle page looks like now. I deleted the things I thought were unprofessional or uneccessary, and now have only things that are important for me.

Assisted Technology

We learned about assisted technology in w200 this week. In lab I researched the different ways to accommodate people with disabilities by using the built-in control panel of preferences on the computer. I practiced using the magnifier and it was really cool! I have a slight vision problem myself so I may be using it in the future!

All you need to do to use it, is go to start, control panel, ease of access, ease of access again, and then finally click on start magnifier. Once the magnifier is in use, just scan the mouse point over whatever you need magnified--it's THAT easy!
