Plagiarism – The representation of the words or ideas of another as one’s own in any academic exercise. To avoid plagiarism, every direct quotation must be identified by quotation marks or by appropriate indentation and must be properly cited in the text. Acknowledgment is required when material from another source stored in print, electronic, or other medium is paraphrased or summarized in whole or in part in one’s own words. It is NOT plagiarism to use facts, such as names, dates, and phone numbers, which are common knowledge.
Scenario 1:
Angie is given an assignment to write a paper. She notices that a student from a previous class forgot to delete their completed paper from the desktop. She opens the file and uses it to create her paper by cutting, rewriting, and reorganizing the document before handing it in.

Is using someone’s work to complete your assignment plagiarism? Why or why not?

Scenario 2:
The teacher gives Jenny permission to surf the Internet to look for clip art for her presentation.  Jenny finds the perfect photograph for her presentation. She clicks on the image, saves it into her directory, and inserts the image onto her presentation. She includes a citation of the photograph on her bibliography page and links to the specific website from which she took the photograph.

Did Jenny plagiarize by using an image from the Internet? Why or why not?

Scenario 3:
One page on a student’s website lists names and contact numbers for Tupelo Middle School. The student cuts and pastes this information directly from the TMS website onto his own website.

Is copying facts, such as names, dates, and phone numbers plagiarism? Why or why not?

Scenario 4:

Damien has walked away from a lab computer without logging off. Carley sits down and, still logged in as Damien, sends a message out to a number of students making it seem like John did it.

Is it wrong to use the computer as someone else or is it John’s fault for not logging out? Why or why not?

Scenario 5:

School computer rules do not allow students to use the computer for personal use, only educational purposes. Sarah’s friend tells her how to access Facebook account on the school computers.

Is it wrong for her to try to access Facebook at school? Why or why not?

ICT II “CLASS INFORMATION DATABASE”

A database is a tool for collecting and organizing information. Databases can store information about people, products, orders, or anything else. Many databases start as a list in a word-processing program or spreadsheet. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

A computerized database is a container of objects. One database can contain more than one table. Unless it has been specifically designed to use data or code from another source, an Access database stores its tables in a single file, along with other objects, such as forms, reports, macros, and modules.

Using Access, you can:

• Add new data to a database, such as a new item in an inventory
• Edit existing data in the database, such as changing the current location of an item
• Delete information, perhaps if an item is sold or discarded
• Organize and view the data in different ways
• Share the data with others via reports, e-mail messages, an intranet, or the Internet

Directions:

In this activity you will open the Class Information Database  download file and follow the directions to create a database structure, create a form, enter student records, run queries, and create a report to manage student records.  NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

Now used generically, the term “mail merge” is a process to create personalized letters and pre-addressed envelopes or mailing labels mass mailings from a form letter – a word processing document which contains fixed text, which will be the same in each output document, and variables, which act as placeholders that are replaced by text from the data source.

The data source is typically a spreadsheet or a database which has a field or column for each variable in the template. When the mail merge is run, the word processing system creates an output document for each row in the database, using the fixed text exactly as it appears in the template, but substituting the data variables in the template with the values from the matching columns. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

Mail merging is done in following simple steps:

• Creating a Main document.
• Creating a Data Source.

WHY EVALUATE WEB SITES? NO ONE JUDGES THE QUALITY OR ACCURACY OF INFORMATION FOUND ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB BEFORE IT IS PUBLISHED, SO YOU MUST EVALUATE WHAT YOU FIND FOR YOURSELF. SOME SITES ARE CREATED BY EXPERTS; FOR EXAMPLE, MANY SITES ARE AUTHORED BY LIBRARIANS WHO HAVE EXPERTISE IN THE FIELD OF INFORMATION SCIENCE. HOWEVER, THE VAST MAJORITY OF WORLD WIDE WEB SITES ARE DESIGNED AND AUTHORED BY NON-EXPERTS.

When researching information, especially online, it is necessary to look for clarity, currency, and relevancy.

A checklist has been created to help you evaluate web sites for Authority, Accuracy; Purpose, Content, Currency, Design, Organization, and Ease of Use. Use it to determine whether or not a particular site should be considered as a source of information for a paper or project.

By using the checklist linked below, you will be able to evaluate a web site, as well as learn why these different aspects are things that should be considered when looking to use a web site as a source.  NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

Evaluation Directions:

• Choose a web site that relates to Graphic Design
• Using the  Evaluating Web Sites: A Checklist  download or a checklist of your choice, evaluate the web site you have chosen.
• Carefully read through the checklist as the web site is reviewed.
• Answer each question directly on your Evaluating Web Sites checklist form.
• After filling out the page use one of the following options to submit the file:
  • save the file as in .pdf format
  • use the print screen option, paste the screen shot into a Word document, and submit the Word file.
  • take a picture of the file and upload the graphic. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

An important part of any website are graphics and photographs, and in average they are about half of any page’s “weight”.

It’s almost impossible to discuss them without first establishing an understanding of the differences between the two major 2D graphic types: bitmap and vector images. Next, we need to consider download speed. Broadband internet should not be taken for granted, and  optimizing images is important. Why waste resources and time when it’s possible to reduce image size without losing its quality.

Directions:

Use the Internet, computer catalogs, newspaper ads, and magazines to create a multimedia presentation filled with educational graphics simplifying file formats and optimizing tips. (15-20 terms/slides)

• Topics can include but are not limited to:
• Again, use various high-level images and fonts to personalize your presentation.
• For this assignment and future PowerPoint assignments:
  • be sure to follow the PowerPoint “7×7” Rule–no more than 7 lines with no more than 7 words per line on a slide.
  • use a minimum of one graphic per slide.
• Save the presentation as Graphic Design II File Formats and Optimizing PowerPoint. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

Web accessibility and usability are closely related; their goals, approaches, and guidelines overlap significantly. It is most effective to address them together in many situations, such as when developing websites. There are a few cases when it’s important to distinguish between accessibility and usability, such as when looking at discrimination against people with disabilities and when defining specific accessibility standards.  NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

• Using the Internet and other resources, conduct a little research for ways to encourage increased communication and coordination between accessibility and usability research and practice in the design and development of guidelines, websites, browsers, assistive technologies, and other web tools to make them accessible, inclusive, and usable for everyone
• Once you have completed your research, compose a 100-150 word post to the “Web Design and Media Rich Accessibility and Usability” Discussion Board. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

Part 19

What is HTML?

First, HTML is short for “HyperText Markup Language”. That may sound scary, but it simply means it is a language for describing web-pages using ordinary text. HTML is not a complex programming language.

HTML Files

Every web page is actually a HTML file. Each HTML file is just a plain-text file, but with a .html file extension instead of .txt, and is made up of many HTML tags as well as the content for a web page. A web site will often contain many html files that link to each other. You can edit HTML files with your favorite editor.

HTML Tags

HTML tags are the hidden keywords within a web page that define how the browser must format and display the content.

Most tags must have two parts, an opening and a closing part. For example, <html> is the opening tag and </html> is the closing tag. Note that the closing tag has the same text as the opening tag, but has an additional forward-slash ( / ) character. I tend to interpret this as the “end” or “close” character. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

There are some tags that are an exception to this rule, and where a closing tag is not required. The <img> tag for showing images is one example of this. Each HTML file must have the essential tags for it to be valid, so that web browsers can understand it and display it correctly. The rest of the HTML file can contain as little or as many tags as you want to display your content. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

Directions:

• Research the Internet and find HTML tag code samples.
• Using Microsoft Office Word, create an attractive, well organized student handout filled with 18-20 HTML tags codes. Be sure to list the code and also and also examples of the result of using it.  NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner
  • Code tags can include Heading, Paragraphs, Bold Text, Underline Text, Italicize Text, Other text formatting tags, line breaks, paragraphs, colors, etc.
  • Save the document as Web Design and Rich Media Content HTML Tip Sheet handout.

Assignment 3: Introduction to IT–Programming Languages Wiki

What are some of the best programming languages to learn?

This is a question that is asked by beginners, as well as experts. As with many important questions, the answer is not simple. There are many factors that should be taken into account while deciding a programming language to learn.

Technology evolves in matter of weeks and by the time you become expert in a particular software technology, it can already be considered obsolete. Another extremely important thing to note is that programming languages vary greatly in terms of functionality and complexity. The answer to what programming language you should learn majorly depends upon the type of task you want to perform. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner

• Using the Internet, textbooks, or other reputable resources make a list of 8-10 common programming languages, their application area, and a statement about each.
• Choose one language add your choice along with your name to the Intro to IT Programming Languages Wiki page. (This will insure everyone chooses their unique language and build a master list of programming languages on the Wiki page.)
• Conduct in-depth research on the programming language chosen in step 2. Research should include but is not limited to the application areas, an example of language, an application, uses in industry, and pricing that accompanies–if applicable. (75-100 words)
• Return to the Intro IT Programming Languages Wiki page and copy and paste your in-depth research into the table. NOTE: The page can be viewed by our entire class and everyone will be able to add their own programming research.
• Review the Intro IT Programming Languages Wiki page and view your classmate’s research. NSG 5000 Week 1 Assignment 4 Family Nurse Practitioner
