GOOD IT SKILLS



GOOD IT SKILLS
Good IT skills are not only useful tools for researching and presenting your work, they also reduce stress, save time and save money.
  • Good typing skills (including using the keyboard instead of your mouse) can save hours playing 'hunt and peck'
  • Knowing the capabilities of your word processing program before you start enables you to format text quickly, saving hours of fiddling and tweaking
  • Getting to know how your computer works puts you in control of your technology - not the other way round.
  • Developing good searching skills on the internet (including knowing how to evaluate what you find) can speed up research by months
  • Using the Internet to answer IT queries can save you large amounts of money spent on software guides and handbooks - and is often much more effective
  • Using the internet to download trial versions of programs means you can "try before you buy" - or even use programs for free.
  • Understanding file formats ensures that you can share information with others easily
