Language dictionary (www.wordreference.com)

For those of you who don't know Word Reference it's a very useful tool when it comes down to writing essays at school that now require a better level of the language or simply to check words whose meaning you're not sure of. It doesn't only function as an English-Spanish dictionary, it can also provide simultaneous translations of words in French, Italian and Portuguese, and it has a variety of synonym/antonym dictionaries for each language that come in really handy because they enhance our brain so that it can understand the language much easier, fluently and without needing to turn to translating from our native tongue to the language we're asked to speak, write or read in. Plus, the forums sometimes can be even more interesting than the dictionaries themselves as they often answer your questions very accurately without your formulating them. Expressions, translations, synonyms, definitions... Word Reference is wide and magnificent, in my opinion, and the more you use it the more you want to keep utilizing it.

How To Create A Timeline

So far I have found out there are three main simple ways to create a timeline efficiently.

First of them, on the Internet. Online, we have webpages where we are allowed to create a timeline in a fast, dynamic way. Where we create it it's entirely our choice.

Then, we can also rely on our own computer's operating system to accomplish the task. Any software which designs presentations (aka, Power Point, Libre Office, etc) will be of great help. Our timeline will be quite moldable, taking in its design many different artistic squemes.

Yet, it is also possible to create a timeline on Microsoft Excel and similar programmes, and even though it is rather complicated, and more time-consuming than Power Point, the results are outstanding and will of course exceed your expectations.

IT & ICT

IT stands for "Information Technology", and it is more or less the compilation of all the technologies that maipulate data that we, humans, have used or created. Commonly, it is used as a business-related term.

Then ICT stands for "Information and Communications Technology", and it encompasses all the recently developed products that are also part of IT, only now classified as a new, completely evolved part.

They help us be more creative and innovative, but they also help in creating processes, being utterly necessary in this day and age for our lifestyle to survive. These new and not so new technologies are vital, they come in handy in many daily situations, and as dependant as we are now to them, we can barely exist without them.

Introducing myself

Firstly, I would like to introduce myself and this blog.

I'm a 4ºESO student in IES Juanelo Turriano (Spain), and I'm studying Computing as an optional subject.

I chose it because I've always been very inclined towards everything related to technology and the Internet, and I wanted to improve my skills and learn new ones, such as this: blogging.

It is something very new to me, so I hope everybody that'll read this is lenient with me while I'm learning.

I think I'll write posts quite normally, and mostly they're going to be about things we're taught at Computing.

As soon as I can, I'll upload a couple of reviews about IT and ICT, which is the first thing we've seen this school-year.
