CS1010: The Skills in Unit 3

1. Skills in This Unit

As you begin your third unit, you will explore the skills in relation to making decisions when it comes to things like organizing your files, finding help online, and using social media. You will begin to understand how you can use these skills to make choices that will benefit you now and in the future. You will look deeper at how improving your skills can help you continuously review some of your choices and make changes as necessary. In particular, we will focus on the following:

Productivity

• Having an organization system in place for your files can be a real time saver
• Using a tool like bookmarks can help you find things you need quickly

• Understanding things like file size is important when it comes to making storage decisions
• Knowing how to verify your search results can ensure you rely on reputable sources

• Understanding how you use your files can help you make important storage and organization decisions
• You need to make social media decisions with an understanding of the kind of image you want to portray online
