What I Learned:
To write a good resume, there are  a lot of things you have to take into account. A lot of details factor when you are applying to a job. There are small details such as the font you choose, the margins you choose, the colour you use, etc. (Black font, white back, 1 inch margins, Times New Roman, 16.) Writing a resume adapts to your field, your personality, and your skills. There are many ways to write a resume, organizing your skills, your education, and your employment history in different formats.

There are a lot of different tricks to make your "interviewer" want to hire you more. For example, putting your greater accomplishments at the top of the page will draw attention to them. Emphasize on what you can do for the company, and highlight your skills.Include only relevant information and make sure to read the job description to include only important information!


Viruses



I know viruses are programs that interrupt computer processes, and create glitches in technology, also useful in hacking.

I wonder:

  • How do viruses work, how do they hack into the computer?
  • How do you create basic bugs and viruses?

What I learned:
- Viruses are very powerful, a virus called the Mydoom worm infected 250,000 computers in one day, the Storm virus infected 50 million people.
- A virus is a program that "piggybacks" on another REAL program, and can jump from program to program.
- There are viruses that "reproduce by sending infected e-mails to all of the people on your contact book.
-A Trojan horse is a virus that says it is something (e.g. a game) but is really a harmful program.
- Virus work through security loopholes in programming to reproduce, it can't reproduce by itself.

How it connects to my life:
-Knowing about viruses can help me know more about how to protect my computer, and myself from the different types of bugs.

A Question I still have: How do worms reproduce?

Google 20%

For my Google 20% project I would like to learn how to make money through the internet, specializing on YouTube and Websites. How to monetize the internet and turn it into a business. As well, I am very interested in podcasting, and according to Ms.Shawn, I have some strong opinions that might interest people. As well I am interested in app programing (basic) and video editing.

For my final project, Mateo and I will have a Website with a targeted AdSense, and intended traffic, in which we will have video tutorials for the things we learn (we'll be youtube partners), all the while we'll be making a podcast with randomn topics. We will also design a basic app to make our website more complete.
