Scribepost for March 23, 2009

The first thing we did today was number of the day, as usual.
The number was 8756.934, in case you weren't there today, or you
didn't write it down.

After number of the day, we did notes.

Bisect - Bi means "two".
Sect means "cut".
So bisect means to cut in two.
Perpendicular Bisector - A line that divides a line segment in half and is at right angles to it.
eg.

How can you create or draw a perpendicular bisector?
1. Free hand O.K. but not perfect.
2. Protractor gets us 90° angle.
Ruler cuts line in half.




3. Use a compass and create arcs.

a) Open compass to greater than half the distance of line.
b) Place compass of pt. (point) A draw an arc.
c) Place compass on pt. B draw an arc.
d) Use a ruler to connect the intersections of the arcs that line is a perpendicular bisector.

Angles -
angle - the figure formed by two lines with a common end point called a vertex.

acute angle - less than 90°

obtuse angle - more than 90°
less than 180°

angle bisector - the line that divides an angle into two equal parts.

How do we make an angle bisector?
1. Free hand not perfect not accurate enough.
2. Protractor.

3. Compass.

a) Arc from vertex,
b) Arc from pt. S (intersection of line and arc)
c) Arc from pt. T (intersection of line and arc)
d) Line from arc intersection to vertex.

After we did those notes, we worked on some Math Links.
Pg. 116 - 121.

Thank you for reading my scribe, and please comment after, if I made any mistakes, or errors.
I choose JORDAN for the next scribe.


P.S : Sorry my scribe was a little late, my computer kept shutting down.

Scribe Post for Jan. 14, 2009

Today, I will show you how to publish a blog on Blogger.


The first thing you must do, is put the title.
The title must be "Scribe Post for", then the date you are doing it.
Next, you must put labels. The labels should be lowercase and separated with commas like this :
jamieq36, scribepost
^ You have to put your user name, then type scribepost.

ADDING IMAGES :

To add any images, you have to look for one first. Then save it to somewhere you can find it. After you've saved the image, you have to click on the blue button, next to the 'ABC' button, and click browse. It will bring you to a window filled with files. Look for where you saved the picture, then click on it, then click open. After all for that, click upload photo, then you picture will pop up in the 'compose' box.

ADDING LINKS :

To add a link, first, you have to copy the address in the address bar. Highlight the word that you chose to become the link. Click on the green button, right beside the colourful button, then paste the address. Then click 'OK'.

ADDING VIDEOS :

First of all, you want to know where your video is. Let's say... YouTube. Go to your video, then copy the "embed" (embedded code). After, click on the button that says 'Edit Html'. Scroll to the very bottom, then paste the embedded code onto the text. When you pasted it, click on the 'Compose' button to get back.


EDITING TEXT :

To colour your font, you have to highlight the text you want to colour, then click on the colourful button. NEVER use yellow, or any light colours if you want to change the colour. As you can see, it is hard to see. That's why you don't use it. It's better to choose a colour that is easy to see, or that stands out. If you want to change the size of your text, highlight the text first, then click on the button with two T's. Then click on the size that you desire. If you want to make the text stand out more, highlight the text, then either click on the 'b' (which stands for bold), or 'i' (which stands for italic).


SPELLCHECK :

If you want to check your spelling, all you have to do is highlight the word, then click on the 'ABC' button. It will also highlight all of the words they think you have misspelled. Once your done checking all your spelling, click on 'Done spellchecking'.

SAVE :

When your done you have to click 'SAVE NOW' just in case something happens. If your not done yet, and something happens to your computer, like, it freezes or it shuts down, there is always an auto save in case that happens. You can see what time it auto saved beside the 'SAVE NOW' button.


WHEN YOU'RE DONE :


Once you're done, at the bottom put :
I choose (whoever you want) for the next scribe.
Thank you for checking out my scribe, and please leave a comment.


COMMENTS :

When you just finished look at someone else's scribe, you MUST leave a comment. A useful comment. Not just a 2 word comment. You have to tell them what they missed, or what they did wrong.


LOOK ON BLOGGER EVERYDAY!
^ Always remember!



I choose Danielle for the next scribe.
