Mind Mapping

Mind maps are the construction of of ideas, theories, arguments, facts, or other things organized around a central idea or concept. They provide organization as well as structure for the material or idea that is being studied. I have used and made mind maps myself, although I was unaware that they were dubbed as such. I used to create mind maps while taking notes during long lectures. I would make the maps on the back of my notes, kind of like a road map of where the lecture and my notes were going. I have also used my maps to prioritize my schedule of events, finances, and work.

File Transfer Protocol

I read the beginner’s  guide to FTP @/www.ftpplanet.com. The site explained what file transfer protocol is, how it works, and even shows the new user a simulated FTP session in a FTP client. I was able to send a picture of a previous screen shot I had saved in my documents to the required address in no time at all. FTP is a secure,  easy way to transfer files to and from your computer via a host page that allows you to organize and save your files.
