Discussion Board
(20 points)

Complete the following two tasks.

1. Post at least two original contributions to the discussion board on home and business productivity software. This could include word processing tools like Microsoft Word, spreadsheet tools like Microsoft Excel, presentation software like Microsoft PowerPoint, database management software like Microsoft Access, or email and calendar management software. Your posts can include tips, tricks, helpful resources (like free images), new technologies, and other useful features to help you get things done and stay connected on the go.

At least one post must be completed before Monday, February 25, 2019.
This will provide ample time for follow-up responds from other students. See Step #2 below.

2. Respond to at least two postings from other students. Your replies should build on the original posts to help construct a conversation. Add something unique to the post. Feel free to provide a video clip, or a link to an outside resource that highlights the message you are conveying. Do something extra that requires others to think and respond to the ideas you are sharing. Establishing a standpoint and supporting it with evidence are great ways to demonstrate that you are not only making connections with the content but also attaining a deep understanding of the material.
