library mouse lessons

This is a lesson for beginning computer mouse users.
Learn how to hold the computer mouse:
Hold the sides of the mouse with your thumb on one side and ring finger or pinkie, which ever feels more comfortable to you, on the other side. Your index finger goes on the left button and your middle finger on the right button. (Some computer mice only have one button, some have several, and some have a wheel which you can use your middle finger to depress the wheel then turn it up or down to scroll pages very quickly or slow depending on how quickly you turn the wheel. Personally I love the wheel and would not have a mouse without it!) When you are told to ‘click’ use the button under your index finger, or the left button.
Learn how to move the computer mouse:
Slowly slide the mouse around on the mouse pad. See what happens to the arrow on the screen as you slide it around.
Do you need a mouse pad:
You should have a mouse pad under your mouse, (although the new optic mice do not require one). You will have an array of choices when purchasing a mouse pad; find the one that is comfortable for you. Rest you hand on the mouse pad or desk and move it slowly there is no need to lift the mouse off the mouse pad unless you run out of room, then you just lift it up and reposition where needed. You don’t need to move the mouse to the left or right, simply slide it left or right with the buttons still facing away from you.
What does clicking do:
Clicking sends a command to the computer. To click, gently press and release the left computer mouse button. Be careful not to move the mouse while you are clicking, if you accidentally do simply slide the mouse back to where you want to click and try again. Try to keep you hand relaxed on the mouse as you press and release without lifting your finger completely off the button.
You’re Done – Great job! That is all you need to know to start using your computer and that mouse. Keep working on it and before you know it, it will feel like second nature to you and you will not even have to think about what you are doing.
Note: Most libraries have free computer classes for the beginner, if you feel you need hands on help this would be the perfect place to start!

library research lesson plans

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the internet is here to stay. More than 75% of U.S. homes have at least one personal computer, and that number is rising every single day. But, many parents may be unaware of the extent that the internet plays in your child’s education.
It is now becoming routine for each and every classroom to come equipped with computers. Lesson plans on technology and activities may be centered on PC’s and your child will be expected to show up for class with a certain level of computer knowledge. Many kindergarten classes are even starting up websites and blogs to showcase some of their work for parents and other kids within the school district, so the more they know the better prepared they will be. Most research is now done online, so the old fashioned Dewey decimal system that we grew up with will be a thing of the past. In fact, most libraries require a child to be proficient at internet searches before they can use the library facilities.
The Younger Crowd
Even younger children in pre-school are now being exposed to all the internet has to offer. You may also be surprised to know that creating a class website or blog is now common procedure for even pre-school classes! It is not uncommon for kiddos to coming home throwing around terms like upload and download like they were everyday vocabulary.
Some Advice
We quickly discovered (and you may too) that our little ones knew more about computers than we ever did! I found myself asking a five year old for help, which can be a bit disheartening. So our advice, start early and learn with your child. Be there when they log on and explore all the wonders that the internet has to offer together. Ask questions and then work together to find the correct answer. This will help the two of you bond, and will ensure that your child has the best possible computer background available.
Toddlers as young as one can also start to explore the internet and the computer through specialty programs and keyboards designed for tiny fingers. They have special buttons and keys that would allow your child to access certain menus and features without compromising the safety of your programs or personal files. So you no longer have to worry about your computer getting harmed.
There is really is no reason to keep the computer away from your kids- it’s a great learning tool and opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

museum florida history

Urgent help needed with the following problem. Please help me understand this question.?
The number of shark attacks per year in the US is distributed approximately normal, with μ = 31.8 and σ = 10, according to data obtained from the Florida Museum of Natural History.
Determine the number of shark attacks per year that separate the top 2% from the bottom 98%.
Determine the number of shark attacks per year that constitute the middle 80% of shark attacks per year.
Please explain how you arrived at your answers. I need to know how to get these answers. Thanks.
P(X < x) = 0.98
P((X-μ)/σ < (x - 31.8)/10) = 0.98
N_Z((x - 31.8)/10) = 0.98
From standard normal tables, the t-value for 0.98 is 2.054
(that is, a bit over 2 standard deviations)
So
(x - 31.8)/10 = 2.054
x = 31.8 + 20.54 = 52.34
The lower limit of the middle 80% satisfies
P(X < x) = 0.10
and the upper limit of the middle 80% satisfies
P(X < x) = 0.90
That is, the remaining 20% is split evenly above and below the middle 80%
P(X < x) = 0.10
P((X-μ)/σ < (x - 31.8)/10)) = 0.10
N_Z((x - 31.8)/10) = 0.10
From standard normal tables, the t-value for 0.10 is -1.28
(x - 32.1)/10 = -1.28
x = 31.8 - 12.8 = 19.0
You should have no trouble showing that the upper limit of the middle 80% is 44.6
