Assignment on computing and word processing:

 

During the semester I will be asking you to do writing based on articles you read.  In addition to researching and reporting on the information, I will be incorporating word processing skills that I want you to master and embed in your writing.

 

Topic:  Why do we need software and how has software evolved over time with the advances of hardware.

 

I want you to use references that you find on the Internet (be sure to site the references that you used). You can use references from my site or ones that you find on your own. The references at my site are at: (http://www.pgrocer.net/Cit11/linkscit11.html).

 

The paper you write should be approximately two pages double-spaced.  This is not a limit, just an attempt to give you an idea of what I am looking for.

 

The paper should be written on line using Writely.  Writely allows you to write a paper and save it on line so you can access it from home or work or school.  You can also pick someone to collaborate with you on your work. You will have to create a Writely account. I want you to figure out how to navigate and create using Writely. There are tutorials and help features available at the site (www.writely.com).

 

The paper should be written using Writely, which is available at www.writely.com (contact me if this is a problem).  In using the specified features, do not be concerned if they do not fit in the way you would normally right a paper, just figure out a way to use them so I can see your mastery. The paper should include the following word processing features:
