Test of Uploading Excel Graph

I had to save the graph as a jpg:
LC on graph so that you see black dots at corners and centres of borders.
RC->copy.
Open MS Paint...Edit->Paste...you see graph appear...File->Save As...->choose jpg.

Here is the graph, which is uploaded as any pic; I chose "medium":

Test of ThinkFree

I have created a Word doc in ThinkFree, an online Office Suite. I'd like to introduce it to my students so that they can collaborate on their ISUs. That is, with only 1 working draft, they won't waste time on doing work that their partner will reject. They'll always know what the other is doing.

Btw, to put a TF Calc graph into TF Doc, highlight the graph by a LC, then choose Edit->Copy, then go to Doc and RC->paste.


Here, I'm testing if I can post the "published url" that ThinkFree gives me when I PUBLISHED (i.e. make the doc publicly viewable):
Go here for my doc.

And when I use PRIVATE, using the only url given,
go here

And when I use SHARE, using the only url given,
go here.

All links work.
publish== using the "published url", anyone can power edit right in the browser window, without signing in to TF and without downloading my document. Must sign in to download.

private== using the only url given, anyone can download, but not edit on web; can edit once downloaded.

shared== using the only url given, allows one to download, share, quick edit, publish.

Test 6--to determine initial size of graph that's best for uploading

I want to determine how to best make a graph, for discrete probabilities, on my desktop so that it shows well on my blog. The graph below was made with Smarttech, with the default graph.



Conclusion: it must be made bigger than the default in Smarttech, because the graph above is too small.

test 5

resolution= 1280 X 1024 (smallest icons)

recorder = "select area"

This does not look as good as the results of test 4, below.

Conclusion: FOR WRITTEN FONT, use typical screen resolution, as in test 4 below. I did NOT use the entire smarttech screen, only a small part.

test 4

Here, I test how printed numbers look.

resolution = 1024 X 768 (typical)
recorder = \"select area\"

height= 339, width=420, result= not bad, a bit blurry, but is easily legible
height= 420, width=600, result= just as blurry, but more legible only because the fonts are larger.

test 3

screen res = 1280 X 1024
recorder = "select area"

height=339, width=420, result = blurry
height=420, width=600, resutlt= blurry

Conclusion: FOR GRAPH VIDEOS, use bigger font for the numbers on the graph, use recorder set to "select area", and set screen resolution to 1024 X 768 (typical; do so because the differences between test 3 and 2 are so small).

test 2

This was taken with screen resolution at normal (1024 X 768) and recorder at "select area".

I have viewed this video with the HTML parameters "height" and "width" set to the default values of 339 and 420, respectively, and then 420 and 600, respectively. In both cases, the video is, in my opinion, too blurry.

test 1--for including videos in my blogs

Please tell me what you think of the resolution of this film. I suspect, though, that it's already crummy. LOL It was recorded at screen res of 1024x768 (normal) and recorder set to 'desktop (default)'.

So, what did you think? Be honest. :):) It is lousy. I would love to hear any suggestions.
