Facebook Privacy and Take This Lollipop

Students showed me this site in class. If you go to http://www.takethislollipop.com/ you will see that over ten million people liked this on Facebook and probably tried the site with their facebook account.

The freaky thing is that you have to agree to let the site access your Facebook pictures. If you want to show a teenager how freaky it is to "friend" people that they don't know, this is the site.

How to Right Click on a Chromebook

Touchpad tips (Chromebooks)

 Next: Transitioning from other computers

If you're using a Chromebook, use the touchpad to move the pointer and select items on the screen. Here are some gestures and actions supported by the touchpad:

	Move the pointer: Simply move your finger across the touchpad.
	Click: Just press down on the lower half of the touchpad. Since tap-to-click is enabled by default, you can quickly tap the touchpad to click.
	Right-click: Click the touchpad with two fingers.
	Scroll: Place two fingers on the touchpad and move them up and down to scroll vertically, left and right to scroll horizontally. If you have Australian scrolling (previously called "simple scrolling") enabled, move two fingers up to scroll down. (It works in the same way as say, your smartphone or tablet.)
	Drag and drop: Click the item you want to move with one finger. With a second finger, move the item. Release both fingers to drop the item at its new location.

SMS vs. MMS

The meanings of SMS and MMS are below but I found an excellent page that explains how they are both used in marketing in the link that follows.

 I will need to look at my cell plan to see if MMS is automatically included or if they charge an additional fee. 

SMS - short message service - this is text only. (limit of 160-170 characters; splits into two messages if it is more)

MMS- multimedia message service - this is photos, videos, audio that can be sent from phone to phone.

WiFi Problem Solved

After returning home and trying to access the Internet, no connection could be found. After checking to see if the WiFi was actually on and that the router was OK, I figured out that I had to enable the wireless adapter in my laptop by pressing F2.

After pressing F2, the wireless signal turned on and I was good to go. I have no idea why it was off, but now I know one use for the F2 function key!
