File Conversion Sites

August27

It happens to everyone. You try to open up your essay or homework assignment on a school computer and the computer gives you a message that telling you it can’t open your file.   Very often the problem is that the software in library computers is  older than the stuff you use at home or in the labs.  Here are some file conversion sites that can help you open up those  files.

Comet Docs

Zamzar (this is my favorite site to use in the library)

DocsPal

YouConvertIt

HTML to PDF (convert any webpage to a PDF)

Text 2 Mindmap (site converts text to mindmap or outline)

Be safe on the web

May11

whats your digital footprint

Be safe on the internet. You need to think about your digital footprint every time you go online.   What you say and do on the web is a reflection of you and it can stay online forever.

Ask yourself:  Would you be comfortable with your parents, college admissions officers or your future boss reading (and seeing) some of the things you do online? If the answer is “NO” then you probably shouldn’t do it.

A truly scary article: Colleges scan Facebook during admissions
