{{Honor Master|honor={{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1|3}}|master=Modern Technology}}

==1. Have the Internet Honor == 
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Internet}}
==2. Have the Basic Computer Honor==
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Computer}}
==3. Define the following terms (or their equivalents) and tell when and how they are used:==
;a. HTTP:
Hyper-text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web. It is the actual communications protocol that enables Web browsing.


;b. Hyperlink :
A hyperlink, more commonly called a link, is an electronic connection between one web page to either (1) other web pages on the same web site, or (2) web pages located on another web site. More specifically, a hyperlink is a connection between one page of a hypertext document to another.


;c. HTML :
HyperText Markup Language, the coding language used to create hypertext documents for the World Wide Web. In HTML, a block of text can be surrounded with tags that indicate how it should appear (for example, in bold face or italics). Also, in HTML a word, a block of text, or an image can be linked to another file on the Web. HTML files are viewed with a World Wide Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera (among others).


;d. Browser safe colors and hex codes:
'''Browser safe colors''' – Many monitors/graphics cards (especially those sold before 2002) were set to display only 256 of the millions of colors that are viewable to the human eye. The browser safe colors are those 216 defined colors that both PC and Macintosh monitors ALWAYS have in common. If those 216 colors are chosen to be used when creating or publishing a website, a user will always see the same colors that you do on your monitor (colors that aren’t part of this 216 color palette are known to sometimes dither, which means they may appear “purple” on one monitor, red on another, and orange on yet another. Photos are not usually grossly affected by this coding).


:'''Hex codes''' are the 6-alphanumeric digits that define the 216 websafe colors, as well as millions of other colors. This six digit format is the way that HTML tells the browser what colors to display. For example, #000000 is black, #FFFFFF is white, and #FF0000 is fire engine red. For a complete list of browser safe colors visit http://www.lynda.com/hex.html


;e. URL:
Uniform Resource Locater – The standard way to give the address of any resource on the Internet that is part of the World Wide Web (WWW). A URL looks like this: http://www.pathfindersonline.org.


;f. Gif :
Graphic Interchange Format – this format was developed by Compuserve in the early days of the internet. It is an 8-bit image format (256 colors) that optimized for internet usage. Images stored in this format are usually of a low-resolution quality, they may be animated, and they may have transparent parts. Photographs usually do not look good if saved in this format.


;g. JPEG:
Joint Photographic Experts Group. A compression technique used for saving images and photographs. This compression method reduced the file size of the images without reducing its quality. Widely used on the World Wide Web.

==4. Learn and demonstrate the use of these HTML tags OR demonstrate equivalent website construction commands in one of the current website development languages (PHP, XML, etc.)== 
===<html>===
This tells the web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Spartan) that this document should be viewed as a web page (instead of as a Word document, PDF file, etc.)

===<head>=== 
This comment allows for additional parts such as Meta tags (for search engines), and other “overall” information. Most of this information is NOT viewed by the user, but is instead “directions” to the browser.

<code><title>Title of Page</title></code>
===</head>===
This tag, and all other tags with a backslash (/) show that this part of the command is DONE! All opening tags have a matching closing tag, kind of like parenthesis always both open ( and end). Notice that (1) each formatting tag appears between "less than" (<) and "greater than" (>) signs, and (2) the tags always appear in pairs, with the second tag
in the pair beginning with a "slash" (/).

===<nowiki><body>....</body></nowiki>=== 
This is the part of the website text viewable to the audience. It can include tables,
images, links, and information all about you or your club.
All of the commands demonstrated below “happen” between the <body> tag and the
</body> tag.

===<nowiki><h1>...</h1></nowiki> === 
Header, level 1 (the largest size type for a header, usually used at the beginning of a page
or the start of a new section). Smaller headers are tagged with <nowiki><h2>...</h2></nowiki>,
<nowiki><h3>...</h3></nowiki>, etc.
As a general rule, you only want one '''<nowiki><h1></nowiki>''' tag per page. This is usually the most important heading on the page, i.e. what the entire page is about. Second-level headings would use an '''<nowiki><h2></nowiki>''', third-level headings an '''<nowiki><h3></nowiki>''', etc.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> ===
'''boldface text'''
Note that the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag has been depricated in HTML5. If the text is a heading, consider using a '''<nowiki><h1></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><h2></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><h3></nowiki>''', etc. tag. If you are trying to "bold" plain text, consider using the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
''italic text''
Like the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag, the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag has been depricated in HTML5. Consider using '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' (for emphasis).

===<nowiki><center>...</center></nowiki> === 
'''<center>This is some centered text</center>'''
Another tag that was depricated in HTML5. Best practices say to use CSS for centering.
If you were to want to center text in HTML5 using inline CSS, what you might do is this:
<code><nowiki><div style="text-align: center">Text to be centered</div></nowiki></code>

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
paragraph return (inserts an extra line space between paragraphs)
Note: Any paragraph returns that you insert in your document by simply hitting the Return key on your keyboard will be ignored by a Web browser. You must use the tag.


 to create a paragraph break on the screen.

===<nowiki> </nowiki>=== 
line break (no extra space)
===<nowiki><hr /></nowiki> ===
horizontal rule (a line running left-to-right across the page, to separate one section from the next)
===<nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> ===
ordered, or numbered, list. Each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki> and falls somewhere between the <nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> tags.

====Example====

<code>
<nowiki>
<ol>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ol>
</nowiki>
</code>

Turns into this:

<ol>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ol>

===<nowiki><ul>...</ul></nowiki> ===
unordered, or bulleted, list. Again, each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki>.

====Example====

<code>
<nowiki>
<ul>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ul>
</nowiki>
</code>

Turns into this:

<ul>
<li>List Item</li>
<li>List Item</li>
</ul>

===<nowiki><a href></nowiki>===
<code><a href="filename.html">...</a></code>

a hotlink to another file in the same folder

<code><a href="http://URL">...</a></code>

a hotlink to another site. You will have to know the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or Web address, of any site to which you want to link your page.
===<nowiki><img></nowiki>===
<code><img src="image.gif"></code>

This tag would insert an image with the filename "image.gif" on the far left side of your page.

----

==5. Make a simple table – include text, a graphic, a horizontal rule, and a link. Use hex Codes to color your text. Make your title larger then the main document text. ==
==6. Learn about: ==
===a. Web graphics and be able to explain the process used to make them download quickly. ===
*i. Three web graphics are supported by the majority of web browsers (gif, jpg, and png). JPG are great for photographs, and gifs work well for clipart, navigation buttons, anything that has transparent areas, and just about anything else. PNG graphics are still not widely accepted, but when they are they will be great, offering lossless compression and displaying images on the web. The advantages of PNG is that it supports images with millions of colors and produces background transparency without jagged edges. These files are 3-15% smaller than gifs, the format they were created to replace. They’re also open source, meaning that its free to create them, manipulate them, and use the png codex to create them.
*ii. Many programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw offer a “save to web” feature that lowers the actual number of colors SAVED in the graphic. While millions of colors may be saved in a large digital photograph, by reducing its size and color-depth, it is possible to shrink many pictures to less than 5% of their original size.

===b. Web safe colors and know when to use them. === 
From the definitions section you already know what web safe colors are. You should use them whenever you are creating banners, headers, text colors, navigation buttons, or other features of a standard website. Use this knowledge to create a jpg and a gif that are both under 15k, but that are still easily viewable on a website, and to create at least five graphical navigation buttons and a title header for your website.

==7. Individually or as a family, unit, or other group, develop a functioning website. All the pages of the website should be “linked” together so that someone visiting your “Homepage” may click to each of the other pages on your website. The website should be composed of no less than 4 pages. The website should include: == 
*a. A welcome page that states the reason for the website & includes at least one image or photograph.
*b. A photos page that shows activities/events you, your family, or group have enjoyed
*c. A guest book or contact page where people can “sign in” that they have visited OR where a contact email address is listed where people can email you when they visit your website.
*d. A links page to other websites that you enjoy. This page should contain at least 8 links.
*e. If your page is for Pathfinders/Youth group/Church or similar organization, create a calendar page that contains upcoming events.
*f. Maintain the above website for at least 3 months. Keep the website information current by changing and editing the content often (Add pictures, update the calendar, etc.).

==Equipment / Resources for fulfilling the Advanced Internet Honor: == 
*'''Computer''' (either Macintosh or PC) with browser support -- many editing programs are built into the Web 2.0 interface, meaning that all you have to do is login and start editing your webpages/website. OR in some classic environments, you may need to edit with an HTML editing program or WYSIWYG web design program. On a PC, "Notepad" or on a Mac, "TextEdit" can create HTML and freeware such as Komposer (PC, Mac, Linux) are available.
*'''A scanner''', a '''digital camera''' or another means of getting photos on the computer.
*'''Web space''' can be obtained for free almost anywhere, just do a search for “free web hosting.” Be aware that most free sites are ad supported and those ads may NOT support the ideals of your organization. If you are creating a site for an Adventist church/school, you have free website space already from adventistchurchconnect.com. Contact them or login for more information.

}}

The Advanced Computer Honor, like all things more than five years old and related to computing, is showing its age. This book provides answers to all the requirements - even those that have been archaic for some time. It is recognized that this work will itself be quickly outdated, but an attempt to update the answers has been made in this work.

One of the goals in writing this answer book is to provide low-cost or free solutions to the problems presented. All of the requirements requiring computer software can be met using high quality software that can be downloaded for free from the Internet. Procedures for common commercially available software are also provided if that is available to you. If you are going to teach this honor, you are urged to try the free packages - some of your students may not have another option. You might be surprised at what can be done with these packages - free does not always mean cheap, and the free packages listed here have been carefully selected with quality in mind.

==Have the Computer Honor==
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Computer}}
==1. Give examples of each of the following computer software / media computer components. Explain the role that each plays in an individuals’ computer experience.==
===a. Word Processing software===
A word processing program assists the user in creating letter, reports, papers, and other documents. Word processor software has filled the role that used to be assigned to a typewriter. However, a word processor can do a variety of additional tasks, including bold, italics, and underline; spell & grammar check; templates for a variety of advanced documents such as FAX, resume, and tables/forms; formatted tables, image import, Wordart, columns, and more.

Many word processing programs come with preloaded images, templates, and other assistant software. Most word processors come bundled with graphics manipulation software, presentation software, spreadsheet software, and sometimes even website creation software. Often these programs work seamlessly together, allowing spreadsheets to be presented within a word processing document or documents to be presented in public presentations.

Commercial word processing programs include:
Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Corel Wordperfect

Free programs include: Openoffice.org (an excellent choice) and Abiword, though there are quite a range of free office suite programs available for download

===b. Presentation software===

A presentation program is a computer software package used to display information, normally in the form of a slide show. It typically includes three major functions: an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted, a method for inserting and manipulating graphic images and a slide-show system to display the content.

There are many different types of presentations including professional (work-related), education, worship and for general communication. Presentation programs can either supplement or replace the use of older visual aid technology, such as Pamphlets, handouts, chalk boards, flip charts, posters, slides and overhead transparencies. Text, graphics, movies, and other objects are positioned on individual pages or "slides" or "foils". The "slide" analogy is a reference to the slide projector, a device which has become somewhat obsolete due to the use of presentation software. Slides can be printed, or (more usually) displayed on-screen and navigated through at the command of the presenter. Transitions between slides can be animated in a variety of ways, as can the emergence of elements on a slide itself.

Many presentation programs come with pre-designed images (clip art) and/or have the ability to import graphic images. Custom graphics can also be created in other programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator and then imported.

With the growth of digital photography and video, many programs that handle these types of media also include presentation functions for displaying them in a similar "slide show" format. For example, Apple's iPhoto allows groups of digital photos to be displayed in a slide show with options such as selecting transitions, choosing whether or not the show stops at the end or continues to loop, and including music to accompany the photos.

The most commonly known presentation program is Microsoft PowerPoint, although there are alternatives such as Corel Presentations, OpenOffice.org Impress and Apple's Keynote.

===c. Graphic creation software===
Graphic creation software is a subclass of application software used for graphic design, multimedia development, specialized image development, general image editing or simply to access graphic files. Art software uses either raster or vector graphic reading and editing methods to create, edit, or view art.

Many artists (creative professionals) today use computers rather than traditional forms of art. Using graphic art software may be more efficient than rendering using traditional media by requiring less hand-eye coordination, requiring less visualization skills, and utilizing the computer's quicker (sometimes more accurate) automated rendering functions to create images.

Images created or enhanced in graphic creation software can be imported into word processing, presentation, publication, spreadsheet to enhance the overall final product.

Most graphic art software includes common functions, creation tools, editing tools, filters, and automated rendering modes.

Common general grapics editing software includes Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photo Elements, Macromedia Fireworks, Paintshop Pro (JASC), Ulead PhotoImpact.

Several quality free programs available for download include IrfanView, Picasa (by Google), and OpenCanvas. The Openoffice.org Suite includes an excellent program for creating vector-based graphics.

===d. Media burning software===
Media burning software allows the user to copy data (music, video, data) from another disk or drive onto blank disk-media, such as CD-R (CD with record-once capability), CD-RW (CD with write/rewrite capability), DVD-R (DVD with record-once capability), and DVD-RW (DVD with one of several recording/re-recording capabilities). DVD writable disks even come in a two-sided burnable technology that allows the DVD-burner to copy information onto both sides of the disk. This doubles the available recording space. Most CD-R/RW disks have 700-800 MB of data space, while DVD R/RW's have 4.0-8.0 GB of data space.

This media burning software communicates with a CD-RW or DVD-RW drive to perform these burning tasks. Popular retail programs include Nero (PC), EasyMedia Creator (PC), and Burn (Mac).

Other programs (many free) include - RealPlayer, UltraISO, RecordNow, Acoustica, Burn4Free, PowerISO, and BurnQuick.

Most computer systems come with one or more retail software programs, though sometimes it is a lite version of the program. Both Windows and Mac OS X also have built-in programs built into their operating system to provide basic burning services. Mac OS X even has a program to create interactive and beautiful DVD shows.

Burning software comes in a variety of recording technologies that facilitate burning DVD movies; documents and images; ISO images; CD audio files; and MP3/music files.

There are also different Freeware (free) software packages available.

===e. Publication software===
Publication software, also known as desktop publishing software (DTP) allows the personal computer user to inexpensively produce documents for either large scale publishing or smaller personal jobs. The user is able to create complex page layouts that combine text, photos, clipart, and shapes, as well as other visual elements and textual layout patterns (such as columns, inlaid text, subscript text, articles, etc.)

Because of the ease of use of this software, individuals can print only a few copies to a personal printer or send the digital layout pages (often outputted to PDFs) to a commercial printing company.

Some may wonder, what can DTP software do that word processing software cannot? In the early days (Pagemaker, the first DTP software was produced in 1985, whereas Wordstar and Wordperfect were already being used by thousands of users), there was a massive difference. Word processing software could do basic typewriting, text and margins, whereas any other layout elements were largely unknown to word processors. DTP software used a graphical user interface, where you could "see what it would look like" when it was published, a term now known as WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get).

In recent years, the strong suite for DTP software is in the templates, easily layouts that have been predefined, as well as output files & scalable font handling that far exceed the word processor. However, some of the layout options original designated to DTP software are now available in word processors (images, columns, spell check, etc.).

Publication software includes:
Adobe InDesign, Corel Ventura, Microsoft Publisher, Quark XPress, and Apple Pages (Mac).

Freeware DTP software includes Scribus and Passepartout.

===f. Database creation software===
Database creation software provides the interface to create and manage database records. Databases are a collection of interrelated records that are arranged by a software program, called a Database Management System(DBMS), to create meaningful output, such as task lists, Pathfinder birthdays, or campout KP assignments. Most common software programs create and manage relational databases, meaning that information in a variety of locations can be pulled together and presented in one form or output. For example, you may have a list of Pathfinder birthdays, and you wish to assign KP list by birthday. You could call up the meals needing cleanup from one database, and have it assign Pathfinders to a KP duty based on their birthday. The final output would be one form, with three columns, but the information would be pulled from two databases.

Database Software programs include Microsoft Access and Corel Paradox.

Openoffice.org Suite contains a robust database similar to MS Access titled Base.

Specialized freeware databases can be found at downloading sites such as:
[http://download.com Download.com].

===g. Spreadsheet software===

Spreadsheet software creates spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are grids of information, usually spread across several pages or books that are used widely in the financial field to calculate and display financial data.

Spreadsheet software performs a lot of the functions formerly assigned to bookkeeping ledgers, and the program offers countless self-calculating tools that can provides thousands of bits of information rapidly, allowing a bookkeeper to keep up with a variety of financial data very quickly and efficiently.

In recent years, the increased abilities of spreadsheet software to manage text fields has led some users to blend their usage of word processing with spreadsheet management, creating organized (but usually small) lists. Some online database programs even output their information to tabular forms that can be edited in spreadsheet forms.

In some ways, a spreadsheet program is a database program, in that it can sort and manage linear databases, that is, databases that only have one "layer" of information.

Pathfinder clubs might find a spreadsheet program useful to keep track of dues, campout fees, or even to keep meeting attendance. Some counselors have even created Class level (Friend, Companion, Explorer, Ranger, Voyager, Guide) spreadsheets that allow the counselor to quickly "check off" who has completed the requirements towards their class level insignia.

Spreadsheet programs include: Microsoft Excel, Apple Numbers, and Corel Quattro Pro.

The free Openoffice.org Suite contains a program called Spreadsheet that performs the majority of tasks needed in a spreadsheet software program.

===h. Flash media===

Flash memory is a form of computer memory that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It is a technology that is primarily used in memory cards. This type of memory is erased and programmed in blocks consisting of multiple locations. This means that it can be saved and re-saved to, and files stored on it can be edited at any time. Flash memory is very inexpensive, and provides a cost-effective way to save large amounts of data (such as documents, pictures, and music) in one place. Examples of applications include digital audio players, digital cameras and mobile phones. Flash memory is also used in USB flash drives (thumb drives, handy drive), which are used for general storage and transfer of data between computers. It has also gained some popularity in the game console market, where it is often used for game save data.

===i. Disk media===
Disk media, more commonly referred to as removable media, is any media device that acts as an input or output device where data is displayed. Removable media eliminates such permanent media options as the internal hard drive.

In the 21st century, removable media provide specific niche devices and services, such as internet, GPS directions, music, and video, that all relate together through the common device, the computer. removable media provides users with the opportunity to store information for processing at a later time or date.

Examples of removable media include DVDs, CDs, removable hard drives, floppy disks (in some older computers), media players, and digital cameras

==2. Successfully install and use a software program.==
Software comes in a variety of ways, most commonly on a CD or as a file downloaded from the internet. If the file is downloaded from the internet, please verify that you trust the source you downloaded the file from. Generally, opening executible files attached to email is unwise and may infest your computer with trojan or virus software.

==='''Installation'''===

Each installer program works slightly differently, but we'll attempt to explain the basics.

==='''Windows:'''===

===='''''CD:'''''====

In most cases you would simply insert the program CD into your CD-ROM drive. In most cases, the CD will be automatically recognized as needing to be installed and the install program will automatically begin. If it does not, you can start the install program by choosing Start from your menu, then choosing Run... Browse to the location of the CD (usually D:), then choose the program listed there called setup.exe (or something similar). The CD should start installing the desired program. At times, you may have to input a serial number or other code to verify that you are indeed the owner of a legitimate copy of the software you are attempting to install. If you have pirated (illegally borrowed) the software, please choose to not install the program. There are so many ''legitimately'' free software offering available over the Internet, that it really isn't necessary to use pirated copies.

===='''''Download:'''''====

You will likely download a file named something.zip. This is a compressed file that needs "unzipped" by your windows program before it can be installed. Once you have uncompressed the file, you should double-click the file and it should start installing.

The installer may ask for your name, email, or other information. Please read the EULA Agreement carefully, since you are legally bound by this license agreement. In some cases, software downloaded from the internet is "free" but has other software (often called malware) attached to the installer program. These additional programs will be secretly installed on your system, and may impair the speed of your system. However, if they are uninstalled, the main program will no longer work properly, if at all. Again, if you read the EULA Agreement, you will have the opportunity to see if the software maker or company has added such programs, since they have to tell you about them in the EULA Agreement if they exist.

Some software programs may take awhile to install, especially if they come on more than one CD/DVD (such as mapping programs, office/graphics suites, and games).

Once a software program is installed, a shortcut is installed under the Programs folder (Start | Programs) and also possibley on your desktop. Click on this shortcut and the program will launch (begin).

==='''MAC'''===

Mac OS X has an application called Installer bundled with it that is used to "install" many MAC programs. However, this is not technically an installer, but a Package Manager.

Some commercial applications for Mac OS X use a custom installer, often Installer VISE or Stuffit InstallerMaker. Applications that do not need to install additional system components can be installed by moving the application files to a desired location on a hard drive; this is known as "drag-and-drop installation" and no installer software is needed. MANY Mac programs use this type of installation.

Mac OS X also includes a separate software updating application, Software Update that keeps installed programs updated via the internet.

===='''''CD'''''====
In a way similar to Windows, programs on CD are inserted in the MAC CD-ROM drive, and an installer begins and automated setup begins.

===='''''Download'''''====

Mac OS X downloaded files are usually archived in a StuffIt archive. The installer or drop-and-drag installation program can be unarchived and installed, following directions included with the archived program.

===Linux===
Most software for Linux systems is available over the Internet, though some commercial packages do occasionally come on media (such as a CD-Rom or DVD). Various distributions of Linux have different strategies for installing software packages, so there is no "one way" to do this.

Most software on a Linux system cannot be installed except by the System Administrator, so you will need to log in as root (or use the "su -" command to become root). Some Linux systems will have an "Install Software" item on the menu, and clicking this will lead you through the steps necessary to install a new program. Other systems require the use of a command line utility which must be executed from the system console.

RedHat developed the "rpm" file, which when downloaded can be installed either from a graphical user interface (follow the on-screen prompts) or from the command line, using the rpm utility:

rpm -U packagename

The -U option means "upgrade," and this will either replace an older version of the software that has already been installed, or install it if no version is present. Unfortunately, rpm packages have dependencies - you cannot install package X unless package Y is there (and is sufficiently up-to-date). You cannot install package Y until package Z is installed. Package Z may have its own dependency problems as well. This can go on seemingly forever. To address this problem, another utility was developed called "yum" (which stands for the Yellowdog Update Manager, "Yellowdog" being the name of another Linux distribution). Yum looks at all the dependencies and updates everything that is needed for package X, including packages Y, Z, and any other packages that are needed:

yum install packagename

Yum will then go out on the Internet, find the latest version of the package on an approved ''repository'', download it, download its dependencies (and the dependencies' dependencies), install them, and perform some basic configuration.
Yum can be configured to run on a regular basis to keep all the software installed on a Linux PC up-to-date automatically. Other Linux distributions have equivalent package management utilities.

==3. Discuss with your unit, group, and/or family the moral issues surrounding software piracy and file sharing. Using biblical support, be able to describe what a Christian’s stance and practice should be in this arena and explain the reasons for your answer.==

===Notes for discussion leaders:===

'''PLEASE do not begin this discussion without first prayerfully considering the potential direction of this HOT TOPIC conversation, as well as your practice in this arena.'''

Each year, billions of dollars of software is illegally pirated by consumers. When most leaders were young, they were instructed not to steal the candy bar from the 7/11 or the CD from Wal-mart. In the twenty-first century, theft now encompasses what is often termed "intellectual property." That is, the items stolen are intangible in a physical sense, such as music, data, or software programs.

Many Christians have not however mentally adjusted their application of the "Thou shalt not steal" commandment to intellectual property. George Barna states that only 8% of American teenagers feel that piracy of music is morally wrong. In fact, only 48% of the youth surveyed said that someone in their lives had mentioned the moral issues surrounding this common practice.

For the complete article: [http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=BarnaUpdate&BarnaUpdateID=162 Barna Update Online]

In my teaching experience (I teach computers and bible for a Northern California Adventist Academy), I have found the approach of "I choose not to do this because...." and the "here's what this researcher discovered" approach as valid for most students. Each student has their opinion and is at their own place in their spiritual journey. Providing a discussion point is NOT likely to change their mind overnight (nor should it). However, it does provide them with the information as well as the strong backing to take a stand that is different from the status quo among their peers. I would strongly discourage an attitude of "this is the right answer and this is how you should do it" approach to this discussion! Allowing them to read the Bible texts and to discuss the implications without prematurely moralizing what you understand the passages to say is invaluable to THEIR learning and application process. Allow the Holy Spirit to do HIS work in HIS time.

==='''Bible texts that may provide a basis for your personal study and group discussion:'''===
Exodus 20:15 -- The commandment to not steal
Genesis 31 -- Rachel stealing the images
Romans 2:21 -- Being an consistent example of what you command of others
Leviticus 6:2-7 -- Stealing what has been entrusted to you
Joshua 7 -- Achan's theft
John 12:6 -- Judas' theft

==4. Complete four of the following activities, providing print or digital evidence of completion to your instructor.==

Most Adventist Academies have classes in Keyboarding and Computer Literacy. Evidence of completion of these two courses would be adequate evidence for this requirement.

This requirement should show evidence of individual creativity and involvement.

===a. Create a letter using a word processing program. Use a merge file to allow the same letter to be sent to five different people, with personalization in each letter (such as name field & address field). Use the letter for a project such as: i. Requesting finances for a mission trip or service activity. ii. Communicating a non-perishable holiday food drive to your community. iii. Describing activities in your Pathfinder club that would be of interest to your local newspaper. iv. Inviting friends and family to a Pathfinder Sabbath or other youth ministry event.===

In Microsoft Word, this requires two separate documents, a data document for the addresses and the letter document for the standard part of the letter. The merge wizard (see windows help file) will assist you in stepping through the process.

In creating the letter document, merge fields could be placed in the address and salutation lines.

===b. Create a database that includes at least 15 records of people that includes at least three other fields (such as addresses, honors earned, phone numbers). Use the database to provide forms that extract their information from the database. Use this information for providing a report such as: i. Tracking which honors have been earned by your club during the current year. ii. Determining the attendance and/or points structure of each pathfinder in your club. iii. Tracking which class level requirements have been completed by each individual in your club or group. iv. Tracking the contacts involved in a year-long service initiative.===

This should be done using a database, even though most of this could be done as a spreadsheet. Remember that databases are a combination of form and database files. The output form should display the necessary information.

===c. Create a spreadsheet. Use this spreadsheet to do something such as: i. Tracking dues and/or donations to your Pathfinder club ii. Tracking income and expenses for a campout, mission trip, or other group event iii. Tracking unit completion of class level requirements===

This spreadsheet should not only display the data, but should also make use of formulas to automatically generate the data. Spreadsheets have the advantage over other recording methods that formulas can make repetitive tasks much easier by filling in cells with accurate data without manual entry.

===d. Create a two-page newsletter using a publications program. Use multiple columns, in-line graphics, two fonts, appropriate font sizes, and appropriate title and footer information. Use this newsletter for publishing one newsletter such as: i. Pathfinder newsletter ii. Church newsletter. iii. Report from a recent mission trip or service activity. iv. School publication===

Templates are graphically rich files created by most office programs, such as Publisher, that allow you to easily create newsletter, newspaper, or other graphically rich publications. Combine images from the event with news information to create a FUN publication. A publication program, unlike a word processing program, includes layout fields that closely integrate themed colors, pictures, clip art, and text.

===e. Use a presentation program to create a presentation file containing at least six slides (with text and photos), and demonstrate its function in a full screen presentation. Use templates, design elements, colors, and transitions as appropriate in your presentation. Use the presentation in presenting a subject as: i. AY Honor ii. Class level concept iii. Sermon iv. Fundraising===

Presentations can be used to effectively communicate your message to a large audience through the use of media rich content with projected images and text. For best effect, the presentation should use font sizes large enough to be read from a distance (typically size 24 or greater), and pictures of high-enough quality to not be pixelated. The same template or background should be used throughout the presentation. Slide transitions should be logical, and should not distract from the overall presentation. One of the most common mistakes of beginning presenters is to have the transitions be so fancy that the text and images zoom and whiz all over the screen, but are unreadable or distracting to the audience. KISS (Keep It Surprisingly Simple) is a great principle.

===f. Using a media burning software program, burn at least fifteen folders and/or files onto burnable media. Verify the media data integrity after the burn is complete.===
===g. Using a graphic creation program modify original digital photographs in the following ways: i. Frame or blur the edges of a photograph ii. Turn a color photo into a sepia-tone or black-and-white photo iii. Save a photograph as a different file type than the original iv. Combine elements from two photos to create a third photograph v. Add colored text to a digital photo showing multiple font enhancements such as drop shadow, bevel, emboss, and stroke. vi. Resize a photo so that the finished photo is no larger than 800 pixels wide and no more than 20% of the disk size of the original digital file.===

Soupmix: /* e. Publication software */

{{honor_desc

}}

The Advanced Computer Honor, like all things more than five years old and related to computing, is showing its age. This book provides answers to all the requirements - even those that have been archaic for some time. It is recognized that this work will itself be quickly outdated, but an attempt to update the answers has been made in this work.

One of the goals in writing this answer book is to provide low-cost or free solutions to the problems presented. All of the requirements requiring computer software can be met using high quality software that can be downloaded for free from the Internet. Procedures for common commercially available software are also provided if that is available to you. If you are going to teach this honor, you are urged to try the free packages - some of your students may not have another option. You might be surprised at what can be done with these packages - free does not always mean cheap, and the free packages listed here have been carefully selected with quality in mind.

==Have the Computer Honor==
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Computer}}
==1. Give examples of each of the following computer software / media computer components. Explain the role that each plays in an individuals’ computer experience.==
===a. Word Processing software===
A word processing program assists the user in creating letter, reports, papers, and other documents. Word processor software has filled the role that used to be assigned to a typewriter. However, a word processor can do a variety of additional tasks, including bold, italics, and underline; spell & grammar check; templates for a variety of advanced documents such as FAX, resume, and tables/forms; formatted tables, image import, Wordart, columns, and more.

Many word processing programs come with preloaded images, templates, and other assistant software. Most word processors come bundled with graphics manipulation software, presentation software, spreadsheet software, and sometimes even website creation software. Often these programs work seamlessly together, allowing spreadsheets to be presented within a word processing document or documents to be presented in public presentations.

Commercial word processing programs include:
Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Corel Wordperfect

Free programs include: Openoffice.org (an excellent choice) and Abiword, though there are quite a range of free office suite programs available for download

===b. Presentation software===

A presentation program is a computer software package used to display information, normally in the form of a slide show. It typically includes three major functions: an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted, a method for inserting and manipulating graphic images and a slide-show system to display the content.

There are many different types of presentations including professional (work-related), education, worship and for general communication. Presentation programs can either supplement or replace the use of older visual aid technology, such as Pamphlets, handouts, chalk boards, flip charts, posters, slides and overhead transparencies. Text, graphics, movies, and other objects are positioned on individual pages or "slides" or "foils". The "slide" analogy is a reference to the slide projector, a device which has become somewhat obsolete due to the use of presentation software. Slides can be printed, or (more usually) displayed on-screen and navigated through at the command of the presenter. Transitions between slides can be animated in a variety of ways, as can the emergence of elements on a slide itself.

Many presentation programs come with pre-designed images (clip art) and/or have the ability to import graphic images. Custom graphics can also be created in other programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator and then imported.

With the growth of digital photography and video, many programs that handle these types of media also include presentation functions for displaying them in a similar "slide show" format. For example, Apple's iPhoto allows groups of digital photos to be displayed in a slide show with options such as selecting transitions, choosing whether or not the show stops at the end or continues to loop, and including music to accompany the photos.

The most commonly known presentation program is Microsoft PowerPoint, although there are alternatives such as Corel Presentations, OpenOffice.org Impress and Apple's Keynote.

===c. Graphic creation software===
Graphic creation software is a subclass of application software used for graphic design, multimedia development, specialized image development, general image editing or simply to access graphic files. Art software uses either raster or vector graphic reading and editing methods to create, edit, or view art.

Many artists (creative professionals) today use computers rather than traditional forms of art. Using graphic art software may be more efficient than rendering using traditional media by requiring less hand-eye coordination, requiring less visualization skills, and utilizing the computer's quicker (sometimes more accurate) automated rendering functions to create images.

Images created or enhanced in graphic creation software can be imported into word processing, presentation, publication, spreadsheet to enhance the overall final product.

Most graphic art software includes common functions, creation tools, editing tools, filters, and automated rendering modes.

Common general grapics editing software includes Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photo Elements, Macromedia Fireworks, Paintshop Pro (JASC), Ulead PhotoImpact.

Several quality free programs available for download include IrfanView, Picasa (by Google), and OpenCanvas. The Openoffice.org Suite includes an excellent program for creating vector-based graphics.

===d. Media burning software===
Media burning software allows the user to copy data (music, video, data) from another disk or drive onto blank disk-media, such as CD-R (CD with record-once capability), CD-RW (CD with write/rewrite capability), DVD-R (DVD with record-once capability), and DVD-RW (DVD with one of several recording/re-recording capabilities). DVD writable disks even come in a two-sided burnable technology that allows the DVD-burner to copy information onto both sides of the disk. This doubles the available recording space. Most CD-R/RW disks have 700-800 MB of data space, while DVD R/RW's have 4.0-8.0 GB of data space.

This media burning software communicates with a CD-RW or DVD-RW drive to perform these burning tasks. Popular retail programs include Nero (PC), EasyMedia Creator (PC), and Burn (Mac).

Other programs (many free) include - RealPlayer, UltraISO, RecordNow, Acoustica, Burn4Free, PowerISO, and BurnQuick.

Most computer systems come with one or more retail software programs, though sometimes it is a lite version of the program. Both Windows and Mac OS X also have built-in programs built into their operating system to provide basic burning services. Mac OS X even has a program to create interactive and beautiful DVD shows.

Burning software comes in a variety of recording technologies that facilitate burning DVD movies; documents and images; ISO images; CD audio files; and MP3/music files.

There are also different Freeware (free) software packages available.

===e. Publication software===
Publication software, also known as desktop publishing software (DTP) allows the personal computer user to inexpensively produce documents for either large scale publishing or smaller personal jobs. The user is able to create complex page layouts that combine text, photos, clipart, and shapes, as well as other visual elements and textual layout patterns (such as columns, inlaid text, subscript text, articles, etc.)

Because of the ease of use of this software, individuals can print only a few copies to a personal printer or send the digital layout pages (often outputted to PDFs) to a commercial printing company.

Some may wonder, what can DTP software do that word processing software cannot? In the early days (Pagemaker, the first DTP software was produced in 1985, whereas Wordstar and Wordperfect were already being used by thousands of users), there was a massive difference.

Publication software includes:
Adobe InDesign, Corel Ventura, Microsoft Publisher, Quark XPress, and Apple Pages (Mac).

Freeware DTP software includes Scribus and Passepartout.

===f. Database creation software===
Database creation software provides the interface to create and manage database records. Databases are a collection of interrelated records that are arranged by a software program, called a Database Management System(DBMS), to create meaningful output, such as task lists, Pathfinder birthdays, or campout KP assignments. Most common software programs create and manage relational databases, meaning that information in a variety of locations can be pulled together and presented in one form or output. For example, you may have a list of Pathfinder birthdays, and you wish to assign KP list by birthday. You could call up the meals needing cleanup from one database, and have it assign Pathfinders to a KP duty based on their birthday. The final output would be one form, with three columns, but the information would be pulled from two databases.

Database Software programs include Microsoft Access and Corel Paradox.

Openoffice.org Suite contains a robust database similar to MS Access titled Base.

Specialized freeware databases can be found at downloading sites such as:

===g. Spreadsheet software===

Spreadsheet software creates spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are grids of information, usually spread across several pages or books that are used widely in the financial field to calculate and display financial data.

Spreadsheet software performs a lot of the functions formerly assigned to bookkeeping ledgers, and the program offers countless self-calculating tools that can provides thousands of bits of information rapidly, allowing a bookkeeper to keep up with a variety of financial data very quickly and efficiently.

Some software programs may take awhile to install, especially if they come on more than one CD/DVD (such as mapping programs, office/graphics suites, and games).

Once a software program is installed, a shortcut is installed under the Programs folder (Start | Programs) and also possibley on your desktop. Click on this shortcut and the program will launch (begin).

==='''MAC'''===

Mac OS X has an application called Installer bundled with it that is used to "install" many MAC programs. However, this is not technically an installer, but a Package Manager.

Some commercial applications for Mac OS X use a custom installer, often Installer VISE or Stuffit InstallerMaker. Applications that do not need to install additional system components can be installed by moving the application files to a desired location on a hard drive; this is known as "drag-and-drop installation" and no installer software is needed. MANY Mac programs use this type of installation.

Mac OS X also includes a separate software updating application, Software Update that keeps installed programs updated via the internet.

===='''''CD'''''====
In a way similar to Windows, programs on CD are inserted in the MAC CD-ROM drive, and an installer begins and automated setup begins.

===='''''Download'''''====

Mac OS X downloaded files are usually archived in a StuffIt archive. The installer or drop-and-drag installation program can be unarchived and installed, following directions included with the archived program.

===Linux===
Most software for Linux systems is available over the Internet, though some commercial packages do occasionally come on media (such as a CD-Rom or DVD). Various distributions of Linux have different strategies for installing software packages, so there is no "one way" to do this.

Most software on a Linux system cannot be installed except by the System Administrator, so you will need to log in as root (or use the "su -" command to become root). Some Linux systems will have an "Install Software" item on the menu, and clicking this will lead you through the steps necessary to install a new program. Other systems require the use of a command line utility which must be executed from the system console.

RedHat developed the "rpm" file, which when downloaded can be installed either from a graphical user interface (follow the on-screen prompts) or from the command line, using the rpm utility:

rpm -U packagename

The -U option means "upgrade," and this will either replace an older version of the software that has already been installed, or install it if no version is present. Unfortunately, rpm packages have dependencies - you cannot install package X unless package Y is there (and is sufficiently up-to-date). You cannot install package Y until package Z is installed. Package Z may have its own dependency problems as well. This can go on seemingly forever. To address this problem, another utility was developed called "yum" (which stands for the Yellowdog Update Manager, "Yellowdog" being the name of another Linux distribution). Yum looks at all the dependencies and updates everything that is needed for package X, including packages Y, Z, and any other packages that are needed:

yum install packagename

Yum will then go out on the Internet, find the latest version of the package on an approved ''repository'', download it, download its dependencies (and the dependencies' dependencies), install them, and perform some basic configuration.
Yum can be configured to run on a regular basis to keep all the software installed on a Linux PC up-to-date automatically. Other Linux distributions have equivalent package management utilities.

==3. Discuss with your unit, group, and/or family the moral issues surrounding software piracy and file sharing. Using biblical support, be able to describe what a Christian’s stance and practice should be in this arena and explain the reasons for your answer.==

===Notes for discussion leaders:===

'''PLEASE do not begin this discussion without first prayerfully considering the potential direction of this HOT TOPIC conversation, as well as your practice in this arena.'''

Each year, billions of dollars of software is illegally pirated by consumers. When most leaders were young, they were instructed not to steal the candy bar from the 7/11 or the CD from Wal-mart. In the twenty-first century, theft now encompasses what is often termed "intellectual property." That is, the items stolen are intangible in a physical sense, such as music, data, or software programs.

Many Christians have not however mentally adjusted their application of the "Thou shalt not steal" commandment to intellectual property. George Barna states that only 8% of American teenagers feel that piracy of music is morally wrong. In fact, only 48% of the youth surveyed said that someone in their lives had mentioned the moral issues surrounding this common practice.

For the complete article: [http://www.barna.org/FlexPage.aspx?Page=BarnaUpdate&BarnaUpdateID=162 Barna Update Online]

In my teaching experience (I teach computers and bible for a Northern California Adventist Academy), I have found the approach of "I choose not to do this because...." and the "here's what this researcher discovered" approach as valid for most students. Each student has their opinion and is at their own place in their spiritual journey. Providing a discussion point is NOT likely to change their mind overnight (nor should it). However, it does provide them with the information as well as the strong backing to take a stand that is different from the status quo among their peers. I would strongly discourage an attitude of "this is the right answer and this is how you should do it" approach to this discussion! Allowing them to read the Bible texts and to discuss the implications without prematurely moralizing what you understand the passages to say is invaluable to THEIR learning and application process. Allow the Holy Spirit to do HIS work in HIS time.

==='''Bible texts that may provide a basis for your personal study and group discussion:'''===
Exodus 20:15 -- The commandment to not steal
Genesis 31 -- Rachel stealing the images
Romans 2:21 -- Being an consistent example of what you command of others
Leviticus 6:2-7 -- Stealing what has been entrusted to you
Joshua 7 -- Achan's theft
John 12:6 -- Judas' theft

==4. Complete four of the following activities, providing print or digital evidence of completion to your instructor.==

Most Adventist Academies have classes in Keyboarding and Computer Literacy. Evidence of completion of these two courses would be adequate evidence for this requirement.

This requirement should show evidence of individual creativity and involvement.

===a. Create a letter using a word processing program. Use a merge file to allow the same letter to be sent to five different people, with personalization in each letter (such as name field & address field). Use the letter for a project such as: i. Requesting finances for a mission trip or service activity. ii. Communicating a non-perishable holiday food drive to your community. iii. Describing activities in your Pathfinder club that would be of interest to your local newspaper. iv. Inviting friends and family to a Pathfinder Sabbath or other youth ministry event.===

In Microsoft Word, this requires two separate documents, a data document for the addresses and the letter document for the standard part of the letter. The merge wizard (see windows help file) will assist you in stepping through the process.

In creating the letter document, merge fields could be placed in the address and salutation lines.

===b. Create a database that includes at least 15 records of people that includes at least three other fields (such as addresses, honors earned, phone numbers). Use the database to provide forms that extract their information from the database. Use this information for providing a report such as: i. Tracking which honors have been earned by your club during the current year. ii. Determining the attendance and/or points structure of each pathfinder in your club. iii. Tracking which class level requirements have been completed by each individual in your club or group. iv. Tracking the contacts involved in a year-long service initiative.===

This should be done using a database, even though most of this could be done as a spreadsheet. Remember that databases are a combination of form and database files. The output form should display the necessary information.

===c. Create a spreadsheet. Use this spreadsheet to do something such as: i. Tracking dues and/or donations to your Pathfinder club ii. Tracking income and expenses for a campout, mission trip, or other group event iii. Tracking unit completion of class level requirements===

This spreadsheet should not only display the data, but should also make use of formulas to automatically generate the data. Spreadsheets have the advantage over other recording methods that formulas can make repetitive tasks much easier by filling in cells with accurate data without manual entry.

===d. Create a two-page newsletter using a publications program. Use multiple columns, in-line graphics, two fonts, appropriate font sizes, and appropriate title and footer information. Use this newsletter for publishing one newsletter such as: i. Pathfinder newsletter ii. Church newsletter. iii. Report from a recent mission trip or service activity. iv. School publication===

Templates are graphically rich files created by most office programs, such as Publisher, that allow you to easily create newsletter, newspaper, or other graphically rich publications. Combine images from the event with news information to create a FUN publication. A publication program, unlike a word processing program, includes layout fields that closely integrate themed colors, pictures, clip art, and text.

===e. Use a presentation program to create a presentation file containing at least six slides (with text and photos), and demonstrate its function in a full screen presentation. Use templates, design elements, colors, and transitions as appropriate in your presentation. Use the presentation in presenting a subject as: i. AY Honor ii. Class level concept iii. Sermon iv. Fundraising===

Presentations can be used to effectively communicate your message to a large audience through the use of media rich content with projected images and text. For best effect, the presentation should use font sizes large enough to be read from a distance (typically size 24 or greater), and pictures of high-enough quality to not be pixelated. The same template or background should be used throughout the presentation. Slide transitions should be logical, and should not distract from the overall presentation. One of the most common mistakes of beginning presenters is to have the transitions be so fancy that the text and images zoom and whiz all over the screen, but are unreadable or distracting to the audience. KISS (Keep It Surprisingly Simple) is a great principle.

===f. Using a media burning software program, burn at least fifteen folders and/or files onto burnable media. Verify the media data integrity after the burn is complete.===
===g. Using a graphic creation program modify original digital photographs in the following ways: i. Frame or blur the edges of a photograph ii. Turn a color photo into a sepia-tone or black-and-white photo iii. Save a photograph as a different file type than the original iv. Combine elements from two photos to create a third photograph v. Add colored text to a digital photo showing multiple font enhancements such as drop shadow, bevel, emboss, and stroke. vi. Resize a photo so that the finished photo is no larger than 800 pixels wide and no more than 20% of the disk size of the original digital file.===

}}

The Advanced Computer Honor, like all things more than five years old and related to computing, is showing its age. This book provides answers to all the requirements - even those that have been archaic for some time. It is recognized that this work will itself be quickly outdated, but an attempt to update the answers has been made in this work.

One of the goals in writing this answer book is to provide low-cost or free solutions to the problems presented. All of the requirements requiring computer software can be met using high quality software that can be downloaded for free from the Internet. Procedures for common commercially available software are also provided if that is available to you. If you are going to teach this honor, you are urged to try the free packages - some of your students may not have another option. You might be surprised at what can be done with these packages - free does not always mean cheap, and the free packages listed here have been carefully selected with quality in mind.

==Have the Computer Honor==
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Computer}}
==1. Give examples of each of the following computer software / media computer components. Explain the role that each plays in an individuals’ computer experience.==
===a. Word Processing software===
A word processing program assists the user in creating letter, reports, papers, and other documents. Word processor software has filled the role that used to be assigned to a typewriter. However, a word processor can do a variety of additional tasks, including bold, italics, and underline; spell & grammar check; templates for a variety of advanced documents such as FAX, resume, and tables/forms; formatted tables, image import, Wordart, columns, and more.

Many word processing programs come with preloaded images, templates, and other assistant software. Most word processors come bundled with graphics manipulation software, presentation software, spreadsheet software, and sometimes even website creation software. Often these programs work seamlessly together, allowing spreadsheets to be presented within a word processing document or documents to be presented in public presentations.

Commercial word processing programs include:
Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, Corel Wordperfect

Free programs include: Openoffice.org (an excellent choice) and Abiword, though there are quite a range of free office suite programs available for download

===b. Presentation software===

A presentation program is a computer software package used to display information, normally in the form of a slide show. It typically includes three major functions: an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted, a method for inserting and manipulating graphic images and a slide-show system to display the content.

There are many different types of presentations including professional (work-related), education, worship and for general communication. Presentation programs can either supplement or replace the use of older visual aid technology, such as Pamphlets, handouts, chalk boards, flip charts, posters, slides and overhead transparencies. Text, graphics, movies, and other objects are positioned on individual pages or "slides" or "foils". The "slide" analogy is a reference to the slide projector, a device which has become somewhat obsolete due to the use of presentation software. Slides can be printed, or (more usually) displayed on-screen and navigated through at the command of the presenter. Transitions between slides can be animated in a variety of ways, as can the emergence of elements on a slide itself.

Many presentation programs come with pre-designed images (clip art) and/or have the ability to import graphic images. Custom graphics can also be created in other programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator and then imported.

With the growth of digital photography and video, many programs that handle these types of media also include presentation functions for displaying them in a similar "slide show" format. For example, Apple's iPhoto allows groups of digital photos to be displayed in a slide show with options such as selecting transitions, choosing whether or not the show stops at the end or continues to loop, and including music to accompany the photos.

The most commonly known presentation program is Microsoft PowerPoint, although there are alternatives such as Corel Presentations, OpenOffice.org Impress and Apple's Keynote.

===c. Graphic creation software===
Graphic creation software is a subclass of application software used for graphic design, multimedia development, specialized image development, general image editing or simply to access graphic files. Art software uses either raster or vector graphic reading and editing methods to create, edit, or view art.

Many artists (creative professionals) today use computers rather than traditional forms of art. Using graphic art software may be more efficient than rendering using traditional media by requiring less hand-eye coordination, requiring less visualization skills, and utilizing the computer's quicker (sometimes more accurate) automated rendering functions to create images.

Images created or enhanced in graphic creation software can be imported into word processing, presentation, publication, spreadsheet to enhance the overall final product.

Most graphic art software includes common functions, creation tools, editing tools, filters, and automated rendering modes.

Common general grapics editing software includes Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photo Elements, Macromedia Fireworks, Paintshop Pro (JASC), Ulead PhotoImpact.

Several quality free programs available for download include IrfanView, Picasa (by Google), and OpenCanvas. The Openoffice.org Suite includes an excellent program for creating vector-based graphics.

===d. Media burning software===
Media burning software allows the user to copy data (music, video, data) from another disk or drive onto blank disk-media, such as CD-R (CD with record-once capability), CD-RW (CD with write/rewrite capability), DVD-R (DVD with record-once capability), and DVD-RW (DVD with one of several recording/re-recording capabilities). DVD writable disks even come in a two-sided burnable technology that allows the DVD-burner to copy information onto both sides of the disk. This doubles the available recording space. Most CD-R/RW disks have 700-800 MB of data space, while DVD R/RW's have 4.0-8.0 GB of data space.

This media burning software communicates with a CD-RW or DVD-RW drive to perform these burning tasks. Popular retail programs include Nero (PC), EasyMedia Creator (PC), and Burn (Mac).

Other programs (many free) include - RealPlayer, UltraISO, RecordNow, Acoustica, Burn4Free, PowerISO, and BurnQuick.

Most computer systems come with one or more retail software programs, though sometimes it is a lite version of the program. Both Windows and Mac OS X also have built-in programs built into their operating system to provide basic burning services. Mac OS X even has a program to create interactive and beautiful DVD shows.

Burning software comes in a variety of recording technologies that facilitate burning DVD movies; documents and images; ISO images; CD audio files; and MP3/music files.

There are also different Freeware (free) software packages available.
The latest listing of popular burning software can be found at:
[http://www.download.com/sort/3150-2646_4-0-1-6.html? Download.com]

===e. Publication software===
Publication software, also known as desktop publishing software (DTP) allows the personal computer user to inexpensively produce documents for either large scale publishing or smaller personal jobs. The user is able to create complex page layouts that combine text, photos, clipart, and shapes, as well as other visual elements and textual layout patterns (such as columns, inlaid text, subscript text, articles, etc.)

Because of the ease of use of this software, individuals can print only a few copies to a personal printer or send the digital layout pages (often outputted to PDFs) to a commercial printing company.

Some may wonder, what can DTP software do that word processing software cannot? In the early days (Pagemaker, the first DTP software was produced in 1985, whereas Wordstar and Wordperfect were already being used by thousands of users), there was a massive difference. Word processing software could do basic typewriting, text and margins, whereas any other layout elements were largely unknown to word processors. DTP software used a graphical user interface, where you could "see what it would look like" when it was published, a term now known as WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get).

In recent years, the strong suite for DTP software is in the templates, easily layouts that have been predefined, as well as output files & scalable font handling that far exceed the word processor. However, some of the layout options original designated to DTP software are now available in word processors (images, columns, spell check, etc.).

Publication software includes:
Adobe Indesign, Corel Ventura, Microsoft Publisher, Quark XPress, and Apple Pages (Mac).

Freeware DTP software includes Scribus and Passepartout.

===f. Database creation software===
Database creation software provides the interface to create and manage database records. Databases are a collection of interrelated records that are arranged by a software program, called a Database Management System(DBMS), to create meaningful output, such as task lists, Pathfinder birthdays, or campout KP assignments. Most common software programs create and manage relational databases, meaning that information in a variety of locations can be pulled together and presented in one form or output. For example, you may have a list of Pathfinder birthdays, and you wish to assign KP list by birthday. You could call up the meals needing cleanup from one database, and have it assign Pathfinders to a KP duty based on their birthday. The final output would be one form, with three columns, but the information would be pulled from two databases.

Database Software programs include Microsoft Access and Corel Paradox.

Openoffice.org Suite contains a robust database similar to MS Access titled Base.

Specialized freeware databases can be found at downloading sites such as:
[http://download.com Download.com].

===g. Spreadsheet software===

Spreadsheet software creates spreadsheets. Spreadsheets are grids of information, usually spread across several pages or books that are used widely in the financial field to calculate and display financial data.

Spreadsheet software performs a lot of the functions formerly assigned to bookkeeping ledgers, and the program offers countless self-calculating tools that can provides thousands of bits of information rapidly, allowing a bookkeeper to keep up with a variety of financial data very quickly and efficiently.

In recent years, the increased abilities of spreadsheet software to manage text fields has led some users to blend their usage of word processing with spreadsheet management, creating organized (but usually small) lists. Some online database programs even output their information to tabular forms that can be edited in spreadsheet forms.

In some ways, a spreadsheet program is a database program, in that it can sort and manage linear databases, that is, databases that only have one "layer" of information.

Pathfinder clubs might find a spreadsheet program useful to keep track of dues, campout fees, or even to keep meeting attendance. Some counselors have even created Class level (Friend, Companion, Explorer, Ranger, Voyager, Guide) spreadsheets that allow the counselor to quickly "check off" who has completed the requirements towards their class level insignia.

Spreadsheet programs include: Microsoft Excel and Corel Quattro Pro.

The free Openoffice.org Suite contains a program called Spreadsheet that performs the majority of tasks needed in a spreadsheet software program.

===h. Flash media===

Flash memory is a form of computer memory that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. It is a technology that is primarily used in memory cards. This type of memory is erased and programmed in blocks consisting of multiple locations. This means that it can be saved and re-saved to, and files stored on it can be edited at any time. Flash memory is very inexpensive, and provides a cost-effective way to save large amounts of data (such as documents, pictures, and music) in one place. Examples of applications include digital audio players, digital cameras and mobile phones. Flash memory is also used in USB flash drives (thumb drives, handy drive), which are used for general storage and transfer of data between computers. It has also gained some popularity in the game console market, where it is often used for game save data.

===i. Disk media===
Disk media, more commonly referred to as removable media, is any media device that acts as an input or output device where data is displayed. Removable media eliminates such permanent media options as the internal hard drive.

In the 21st century, removable media provide specific niche devices and services, such as internet, GPS directions, music, and video, that all relate together through the common device, the computer. removable media provides users with the opportunity to store information for processing at a later time or date.

Examples of removable media include DVDs, CDs, removable hard drives, floppy disks (in some older computers), media players, and digital cameras

==2. Successfully install and use a software program.==
Software comes in a variety of ways, most commonly on a CD or as a file downloaded from the internet. If the file is downloaded from the internet, please verify that you trust the source you downloaded the file from. Generally, opening executible files attached to email is unwise and may infest your computer with trojan or virus software.

==='''Installation'''===

Each installer program works slightly differently, but we'll attempt to explain the basics.

==='''Windows:'''===

===='''''CD:'''''====

In most cases you would simply insert the program CD into your CD-ROM drive. In most cases, the CD will be automatically recognized as needing to be installed and the install program will automatically begin. If it does not, you can start the install program by choosing Start from your menu, then choosing Run... Browse to the location of the CD (usually D:), then choose the program listed there called setup.exe (or something similar). The CD should start installing the desired program. At times, you may have to input a serial number or other code to verify that you are indeed the owner of a legitimate copy of the software you are attempting to install. If you have pirated (illegally borrowed) the software, please choose to not install the program. There are so many ''legitimately'' free software offering available over the Internet, that it really isn't necessary to use pirated copies.

===='''''Download:'''''====

You will likely download a file named something.zip. This is a compressed file that needs "unzipped" by your windows program before it can be installed. Once you have uncompressed the file, you should double-click the file and it should start installing.

The installer may ask for your name, email, or other information. Please read the EULA Agreement carefully, since you are legally bound by this license agreement. In some cases, software downloaded from the internet is "free" but has other software (often called malware) attached to the installer program. These additional programs will be secretly installed on your system, and may impair the speed of your system. However, if they are uninstalled, the main program will no longer work properly, if at all. Again, if you read the EULA Agreement, you will have the opportunity to see if the software maker or company has added such programs, since they have to tell you about them in the EULA Agreement if they exist.

Some software programs may take awhile to install, especially if they come on more than one CD/DVD (such as mapping programs, office/graphics suites, and games).

Once a software program is installed, a shortcut is installed under the Programs folder (Start | Programs) and also possibley on your desktop. Click on this shortcut and the program will launch (begin).

==='''MAC'''===

Mac OS X has an application called Installer bundled with it that is used to "install" many MAC programs. However, this is not technically an installer, but a Package Manager.

Applications that do not need to install additional system components can be installed by moving the application files to a desired location on a hard drive; this is known as "drag-and-drop installation" and no installer software is needed. MANY Mac programs use this type of installation.

Mac OS X also includes a separate software updating application, Software Update that keeps installed programs updated via the internet.

===='''''CD'''''====
In a way similar to Windows, programs on CD are inserted in the MAC CD-ROM drive, and an installer begins and automated setup begins.

===='''''Download'''''====

Mac OS X downloaded files are usually archived in a StuffIt archive. The installer or drop-and-drag installation program can be unarchived and installed, following directions included with the archived program.

Yum looks at all the dependencies and updates everything that is needed for package X, including packages Y, Z, and any other packages that are needed:

yum install packagename

Yum will then go out on the Internet, find the latest version of the package on an approved ''repository'', download it, download its dependencies (and the dependencies' dependencies), install them, and perform some basic configuration.
Yum can be configured to run on a regular basis to keep all the software installed on a Linux PC up-to-date automatically. Other Linux distributions have equivalent package management utilities.

==3. Discuss with your unit, group, and/or family the moral issues surrounding software piracy and file sharing. Using biblical support, be able to describe what a Christian’s stance and practice should be in this arena and explain the reasons for your answer.==

==4. Complete four of the following activities, providing print or digital evidence of completion to your instructor.==

Most Adventist Academies have classes in Keyboarding and Computer Literacy. Evidence of completion of these two courses would be adequate evidence for this requirement.

This requirement should show evidence of individual creativity and involvement.

In Microsoft Word, this requires two separate documents, a data document for the addresses and the letter document for the standard part of the letter. The merge wizard (see windows help file) will assist you in stepping through the process.

In creating the letter document, merge fields could be placed in the address and salutation lines.

===b. Create a database that includes at least 15 records of people that includes at least three other fields (such as addresses, honors earned, phone numbers). Use the database to provide forms that extract their information from the database. Use this information for providing a report such as: i. Tracking which honors have been earned by your club during the current year. ii. Determining the attendance and/or points structure of each pathfinder in your club. iii. Tracking which class level requirements have been completed by each individual in your club or group. iv. Tracking the contacts involved in a year-long service initiative.===

This should be done using a database, even though most of this could be done as a spreadsheet. Remember that databases are a combination of form and database files. The output form should display the necessary information.

===c. Create a spreadsheet. Use this spreadsheet to do something such as: i. Tracking dues and/or donations to your Pathfinder club ii. Tracking income and expenses for a campout, mission trip, or other group event iii. Tracking unit completion of class level requirements===

This spreadsheet should not only display the data, but should also make use of formulas to automatically generate the data. Spreadsheets have the advantage over other recording methods that formulas can make repetitive tasks much easier by filling in cells with accurate data without manual entry.

===d. Create a two-page newsletter using a publications program. Use multiple columns, in-line graphics, two fonts, appropriate font sizes, and appropriate title and footer information. Use this newsletter for publishing one newsletter such as: i. Pathfinder newsletter ii. Church newsletter. iii. Report from a recent mission trip or service activity. iv. School publication===

Templates are graphically rich files created by most office programs, such as Publisher, that allow you to easily create newsletter, newspaper, or other graphically rich publications. Combine images from the event with news information to create a FUN publication. A publication program, unlike a word processing program, includes layout fields that closely integrate themed colors, pictures, clip art, and text.

===e. Use a presentation program to create a presentation file containing at least six slides (with text and photos), and demonstrate its function in a full screen presentation. Use templates, design elements, colors, and transitions as appropriate in your presentation. Use the presentation in presenting a subject as: i. AY Honor ii. Class level concept iii. Sermon iv. Fundraising===

Presentations can be used to effectively communicate your message to a large audience through the use of media rich content with projected images and text. For best effect, the presentation should use font sizes large enough to be read from a distance (typically size 24 or greater), and pictures of high-enough quality to not be pixelated. The same template or background should be used throughout the presentation. Slide transitions should be logical, and should not distract from the overall presentation. One of the most common mistakes of beginning presenters is to have the transitions be so fancy that the text and images zoom and whiz all over the screen, but are unreadable or distracting to the audience. KISS (Keep It Surprisingly Simple) is a great principle.

===f. Using a media burning software program, burn at least fifteen folders and/or files onto burnable media. Verify the media data integrity after the burn is complete.===
===g. Using a graphic creation program modify original digital photographs in the following ways: i. Frame or blur the edges of a photograph ii. Turn a color photo into a sepia-tone or black-and-white photo iii. Save a photograph as a different file type than the original iv. Combine elements from two photos to create a third photograph v. Add colored text to a digital photo showing multiple font enhancements such as drop shadow, bevel, emboss, and stroke. vi. Resize a photo so that the finished photo is no larger than 800 pixels wide and no more than 20% of the disk size of the original digital file.===

{{IAConnection|[[Investiture_Achievement/Ranger/Spiritual Discovery|RANGER Spiritual Discovery]]|a discussion of the World Wide Web in line with Requirements #5 and #8 of this Honor|
}}

==1. Define the following terms:== 
===a. Internet:===
A vast collection of many independent, inter-connected computer networks that use the TCP/IP protocols and that developed from ARPANet of the late '60s and early '70s. "The Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks providing reliable and redundant connectivity between disparate computers and systems by using common transport and data protocols.

===b. World Wide Web (WWW)=== 
Though ''World Wide Web'' (or simply Web for short) is a term frequently used (incorrectly) when referring to "The Internet", it has two major meanings: First, loosely used: the whole constellation of resources that can be accessed using Gopher, FTP, HTTP, telnet, USENET, WAIS and some other tools. Second, the universe of hypertext servers (HTTP servers), more commonly called "web servers", which are the servers that serve web pages to web browsers.

===c. Chat Room:=== 
A site on the World Wide Web where any number of computer users can type in messages to each other (chat) in real time, creating an online conversation. These messages usually appear on an area of the screen next to the user’s nickname or handle (your online nickname or the name you go by in a chat room). Most chat rooms have a particular topic (which you are expected to discuss) but there are some that are purely for meeting other people.

===d. Download=== 
To copy a file from a remote computer to your computer. There are a few methods of doing this on the Internet. HTTP, FTP and e-mail attachments are the most common. This term is also used when referring to moving pictures from a camera or other image device to a local computer.

===e. Upload:=== 
To move a digital file (such as a media file) from a local system to a server where it is stored for others to access or later retrieval. For example, web pages must be "uploaded" to a web server for them to be viewed on the World Wide Web.
The terminology for "upload" and "download" comes from the days of satellite communications. When an earth-bound terminal send data to the remote computer (the satellite), it was uploaded, as the direction of data travel was up. When the terminal received data from the satellite, it was downloaded, as the directin of data travel was down.

===f. Website=== 
One or more files (pages) stored on a computer (a "server") that can be accessed via the Internet. Every website has a "home page", which is generally designed as the file visitors first see when coming to the site and which gives an idea of the site's contents. All files on a website usually contain textual or graphical "links" that can be clicked using an input device such as a mouse to move to other files, either within the site or on another one.

===g. Email:=== 
Email is similar to personal letters, only a lot faster. Email is used to send messages via your computer to friends and acquaintances around the world. Requires a computer, email software, an email account through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and a modem. Technically, email (electronic mail) is the exchange of computer-stored messages by telecommunication.
Most email messages usually contain text, but you can also send non-text files, such as graphic images and sound files as attachments. Email accounts for a large percentage of the total traffic over the Internet. An email address is easily identified by the '@' symbol, for instance webmaster@pathfindersonline.org, making identification of the domain it's attached to much easier - in this case pathfindersonline.org

===h. Virus=== 
Throughout this honor, the term “virus” represents the traditional virus, as well as trojans, worms, and other malicious code.


;Traditional virus: In computer security technology, a virus is a self-replicating program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents. Thus, a computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells. Extending the analogy, the insertion of the virus into a program is termed infection, and the infected file (or executable code that is not part of a file) is called a host.


;Trojan: named after the Trojan horse used by the rescuers of Helen of Troy. A Trojan is a computer program that disguises itself as a useful software application that is actually used to gain access to your computer.


;Worm: A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program. It uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention. This is due to the poor security the computers infected have. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms almost always cause at least some harm to the network, if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.

==2. Define the following terms and give examples of each:== 
===a.Webmail / POP3 / IMAP mail===
All are methods / techniques for reading email.
;Webmail: Webmail is a web application that allows users to read and write e-mail using a web browser. Examples: Hotmail.com, yahoo.com and many other online services offer you the option to view your email from their website. This is "webmail."


;POP3 mail: Post Office Protocol 3. A protocol that provides a simple, standardized way for users to access mailboxes and download messages to their computers. Examples: Outlook Express, Outlook, Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird*


;IMAP: Internet Message Access Protocol'. IMAP is a method of distributing e-mail. It is different from the standard POP3 method in that with IMAP, e-mail messages are stored on the server, while in POP3, the messages are transferred to the client's computer when they are read. Thus, using IMAP allows you to access your e-mail from more than one machine, while POP3 does not. This is important because some email servers only work with some protocols. Example: AOL is an IMAP mail provider, though they also offer webmail services.*

These examples are accurate as of 10/2005. Please check Google.com or other search service to verify the accuracy of these examples currently.

===b. Web browser=== 
A program used to view, download, upload, surf or otherwise access documents (pages) on the World Wide Web. Browsers can be text-based meaning they do not show graphics or images but most however are text and graphical based. Browsers read "marked up" or coded pages (usually HTML but not always) that reside on servers and interpret the coding into what we see "rendered" as a Web page. Examples: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari are examples of Web browsers.

===c. IRC/IM (Instant Messenger) client=== 
Internet Relay Chat. A live chat area of the Internet in which real-time conversations among two or more people take place via special software. Each specific IRC channel begins with a # and is dedicated to a different area of interest. IRC is considered another part of the technology of the Internet the same way FTP, Telnet and the Web are.


An instant messenger is a client which allows instant text communication between two or more people through a network such as the Internet.


Examples include Windows Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ client, Yahoo Messenger, and Jabber, as well as software programs that allow you to talk to friends on multiple “messenger” platforms simultaneously.

===d. Streaming Media === 
Video or audio transmitted over a network that users can begin to play immediately instead of waiting for the entire file to download. Typically a few seconds of data is sent ahead and buffered in case of network transmission delays. (Although some data is buffered to the hard drive, it is written to temporary storage and is gone once viewing is complete.) RealMedia, QuickTime and Windows Media are the most common streaming formats.

===e. Search Engine & Search Directories=== 
Internet search engines (e.g. Google, Bing) help users find web pages on a given subject. The search engines maintain databases of web sites and use programs (often referred to as "spiders" or "bots") to collect information, which is then indexed by the search engine. Similar services are provided by "directories," which maintain ordered lists of websites, e.g. Yahoo!

===f. Antivirus software=== 
A computer program designed to detect and respond to malicious software, such as viruses and worms. Responses may include blocking user access to infected files, cleaning infected files or systems, or informing the user that an infected program was detected. Such tools should be included as part of the computing systems environment that the web services are delivered from. Examples include Norton Antivirus, McAfee Antivirus, Trendmicro Antivirus. Online FREE antivirus tools includes Trendmicro's Housecall, and freea-v.com {{ref|antivirus}}.


;Note: Many of these companies also offer "Internet Security Suites" that assist the user in also blocking and removing trojans, worms, malware, and other malicious code.

1. {{note|antivirus}} These software programs are leaders in antivirus technology as of 10/2005. Please check with online resources or local computer/office supply stores for the latest versions and programs available.

===g. Firewall=== 
A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.


Examples include: ZoneAlarm, Microsoft Firewall, Norton Firewall, and many other free and for-pay packages.

==3. Complete one of the following:== 
===a. Write a brief 250-300 word history of the Internet.===
Include date/events surrounding its origin, the major landmark events, the birth and growth of web browsers (such as Mosaic, Netscape, Internet Explorer), and what it is doing today. Remember, this is not a history of computers, but rather a brief history of the Internet. You should list at least 2 online resources from which you found information relevant to your report.
===b. Present a 2-3 minute talk concerning the history of the internet.===
If you choose this option, you will need to present the same information as in option a. It's OK to use notecards during the oral presentation so that you can follow your outline and not have to memorize dates and other facts.

==4. Why is antivirus software important? Include in your answer:== 
===a. What are some ways you can receive viruses via the Internet?===
*Opening an email attachment which was sent by an unknown contact.
*Clicking on a "pop-up" ad in a web page.
*Downloading from the Internet any file that contains a virus.

===b. How is having up-to-date antivirus software important for keeping your computer files safe?=== 
The authors of virus and anti-virus programs are in a continual game of cat-and-mouse. Virus authors are constantly figuring out new ways to get around anti-virus programs, and anti-virus programs are continually updated to thwart the new viruses. The most successful virus programs are the ones most recently developed. If you do not keep your anti-virus software program up-to-date, your computer is vulnerable to the newest viruses.

===c. How can not being protected lead to sharing the virus with other family and friends?=== 
We might share a file to our friends or family through an email or device without knowing that the file contains virus. The virus might damage our friend's or family's computer or even thumb drive that we use to share files that might contain virus.

===d. What harm can a virus do to your computer or to other people’s computers?=== 
Viruses can damage your files in the computer including software. The damaged software contains a copy of the virus, and can then spread to other computers. Many viruses will consume computing power on the host, bogging it down and making it unresponsive. They can attempt to infect other machines over the network, consuming the network's bandwidth and slowing down the Internet connection for all other users in the building (even computers that are not infected).


Many viruses completely take over the computer they infect and can be remotely controlled by the attacker. These attackers can then use the computer to send spam, or mount a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against their target's web server or computer network. Sometimes these viruses record keystrokes on the infected computer so that they can capture usernames, passwords, and bank account numbers. This information can then be forwarded to the attacker who can either use the information or sell it to someone else.

==5. In what ways do content filters(programs like Net Nanny™ or AOL Parental Control) protect your family? With your family, develop & sign a Covenant of Family Internet Usage including the following elements:== 
*'''a. Never reveal personal information'''
*'''b. Remember that people may not be who they say they are.'''
*'''c. Never meet an online friend in the flesh for the first time without a parent present.'''
*'''d. Never respond to flames'''
*'''e. Stop immediately if you see or read anything that upsets you.'''
*'''f.Time each member of the family may spend on the internet per week. Set boundaries that encourage time for family, homework, and other necessary family activities.'''
*'''g. Types of websites that are acceptable/unacceptable to view. What are the principles that your family will use to determine what are acceptable? Base these principles on the Bible.'''


An agreement ready to sign has been prepared for you on the third page of the pdf of the Internet Honor requirements on the Pathfinders website:
http://www.pathfindersonline.org/pdf/ayhonors/internet_a.pdf

==6. Show your ability to navigate your way around the internet by demonstrating the following:== 
===a. Visit at least 3 different websites (distinct domain names). Print out the front page of each site for your instructor. ===
To save paper, it is recommended that rather than printing hard-copies of web pages, that the Pathfinder open the three web pages in separate tabs in the browser. A tab can be opened usually by right-clicking on the link and selecting the "Open page in another tab" option. In Firefox, clicking the link with the center mouse button (or using both the left and right buttons at the same time) will open the page in a new tab. Once three tabs have been opened, the instructor can check that the requirement has been met on-screen, without printing anything.

===b. Demonstrate your ability to use a search engine to find an online Bible website. Go to the website, look up at least 3 different Bible memory texts in 3 different versions, and print your results for your instructor. Also, find 3 websites that talk about the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Print out the front page of each site for your instructor.=== 
*i. http://www.biblegateway.com is a great online bible resources, as is http://www.blueletterbible.org .
*ii. http://www.bible.com is another great Bible site with many versions in multiple languages.
*iii. There are thousands of quality Adventist websites, many of them referenced at http://www.plusline.org. Quality sites of interest to young adventists include:
** http://www.pathfindersonline.org
** http://www.adventist.org
** http://www.guidemagazine.org
** http://www.kidsbibleinfo.com .

===c. Download a compressed file from the internet (tar, zip, etc.) to your hard drive and uncompress it and operate the program or file.=== 
*i. Please use safe sites to download from, such as [http://download.com CNET’s download.com]
[http://pcmagazine.com pcmagazine.com] church websites such as http://plusline.org, http://iiw.org, and http://adventist.org

==7. Demonstrate your ability to use email by demonstrating the following (If necessary, create an email account, with a distinct username and password):== 
===a. Create and send email===
===b. Receive and download email ===
===c. Download/view an attachment===
===d. Know 5 principles of operating email safely. ===
#Do not reply to unknown emails or Spam. You’re simply verifying that yours is a “real” email address and you will immediately receive even more junk email.
#Do not open emails with attachments unless you are SURE that they’re okay, and that your antivirus program is fully updated (most are auto-updated these days).
#Report any material sent to you in email that is unsafe or that you feel breaks God’s laws.
#Never respond to "unsubscribe" directions in a spam or UCE (unwanted commercial email) message.
#Keep your computers operating system patches up to date. If you're using Windows, do this from the MS Windows Update site using the Windows Update function.

==8. Memorize Philippians 4:8. How does this Bible text guide a Christian’s use of the internet?== 
:“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable——if anything is excellent or praiseworthy——think about such things.” Philippians 4:8


Some questions to guide a small group discussion on this text:
#What do you think the writer, the apostle Paul, would say this text meant for internet users today?
#What do you think God had in mind when he asked Paul to write down this text?
#What are some things on the internet that you make use of that match (are consistent with) this Bible text?
#What are some of the things that are on the internet that do not match (are inconsistent) with this Bible message?
#Why do you think this text is important to Christians today?
#What are some ways that we as a club can help each other apply this text to our daily lives?
#What do you think are some ways we can live lives that match (are consistent) with this text?

===c. How can not being protected lead to sharing the virus with other family and friends?=== 
We might share a file to our friends or family through an email or device without knowing that the file contains virus. The virus might damage our friend's or family's computer or even thumb drive that we use to share files that might contain virus.

===d. What harm can a virus do to your computer or to other people’s computers?=== 
Viruses can damage your files in the computer including software. The damaged software contains a copy of the virus, and can then spread to other computers. Many viruses will consume computing power on the host, bogging it down and making it unresponsive. They can attempt to infect other machines over the network, consuming the network's bandwidth and slowing down the Internet connection for all other users in the building (even computers that are not infected).


Many viruses completely take over the computer they infect and can be remotely controlled by the attacker. These attackers can then use the computer to send spam, or mount a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against their target's web server or computer network. Sometimes these viruses record keystrokes on the infected computer so that they can capture usernames, passwords, and bank account numbers. This information can then be forwarded to the attacker who can either use the information or sell it to someone else.

==5. In what ways do content filters(programs like Net Nanny™ or AOL Parental Control) protect your family? With your family, develop & sign a Covenant of Family Internet Usage including the following elements:== 
*'''a. Never reveal personal information'''
*'''b. Remember that people may not be who they say they are.'''
*'''c. Never meet an online friend in the flesh for the first time without a parent present.'''
*'''d. Never respond to flames'''
*'''e. Stop immediately if you see or read anything that upsets you.'''
*'''f.Time each member of the family may spend on the internet per week. Set boundaries that encourage time for family, homework, and other necessary family activities.'''
*'''g. Types of websites that are acceptable/unacceptable to view. What are the principles that your family will use to determine what are acceptable? Base these principles on the Bible.'''


An agreement ready to sign has been prepared for you on the third page of the pdf of the Internet Honor requirements on the Pathfinders website:
http://www.pathfindersonline.org/pdf/ayhonors/internet_a.pdf

==6. Show your ability to navigate your way around the internet by demonstrating the following:== 
===a. Visit at least 3 different websites (distinct domain names). Print out the front page of each site for your instructor. ===
To save paper, it is recommended that rather than printing hard-copies of web pages, that the Pathfinder open the three web pages in separate tabs in the browser. A tab can be opened usually by right-clicking on the link and selecting the "Open page in another tab" option. In Firefox, clicking the link with the center mouse button (or using both the left and right buttons at the same time) will open the page in a new tab. Once three tabs have been opened, the instructor can check that the requirement has been met on-screen, without printing anything.

===b. Demonstrate your ability to use a search engine to find an online Bible website. Go to the website, look up at least 3 different Bible memory texts in 3 different versions, and print your results for your instructor. Also, find 3 websites that talk about the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Print out the front page of each site for your instructor.=== 
*i. http://www.biblegateway.com is a great online bible resources, as is http://www.blueletterbible.org .
*ii. There are thousands of quality Adventist websites, many of them referenced at http://www.plusline.org. Quality sites of interest to young adventists include:
** http://www.pathfindersonline.org
** http://www.adventist.org
** http://www.guidemagazine.org
** http://www.kidsbibleinfo.com .

===c. Download a compressed file from the internet (tar, zip, etc.) to your hard drive and uncompress it and operate the program or file.=== 
*i. Please use safe sites to download from, such as [http://download.com CNET’s download.com]
[http://pcmagazine.com pcmagazine.com] church websites such as http://plusline.org, http://iiw.org, and http://adventist.org

==7. Demonstrate your ability to use email by demonstrating the following (If necessary, create an email account, with a distinct username and password):== 
===a. Create and send email===
===b. Receive and download email ===
===c. Download/view an attachment===
===d. Know 5 principles of operating email safely. ===
#Do not reply to unknown emails or Spam. You’re simply verifying that yours is a “real” email address and you will immediately receive even more junk email.
#Do not open emails with attachments unless you are SURE that they’re okay, and that your antivirus program is fully updated (most are auto-updated these days).
#Report any material sent to you in email that is unsafe or that you feel breaks God’s laws.
#Never respond to "unsubscribe" directions in a spam or UCE (unwanted commercial email) message.
#Keep your computers operating system patches up to date. If you're using Windows, do this from the MS Windows Update site using the Windows Update function.

==8. Memorize Philippians 4:8. How does this Bible text guide a Christian’s use of the internet?== 
:“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable——if anything is excellent or praiseworthy——think about such things.” Philippians 4:8


Some questions to guide a small group discussion on this text:
#What do you think the writer, the apostle Paul, would say this text meant for internet users today?
#What do you think God had in mind when he asked Paul to write down this text?
#What are some things on the internet that you make use of that match (are consistent with) this Bible text?
#What are some of the things that are on the internet that do not match (are inconsistent) with this Bible message?
#Why do you think this text is important to Christians today?
#What are some ways that we as a club can help each other apply this text to our daily lives?
#What do you think are some ways we can live lives that match (are consistent) with this text?

{{IAConnection|[[Investiture_Achievement/Ranger/Spiritual Discovery|RANGER Spiritual Discovery]]|a discussion of the World Wide Web in line with Requirements #5 and #8 of this Honor|
}}

==1. Define the following terms:== 
===a. Internet:===
A vast collection of many independent, inter-connected computer networks that use the TCP/IP protocols and that developed from ARPANet of the late '60s and early '70s. "The Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks providing reliable and redundant connectivity between disparate computers and systems by using common transport and data protocols.

===b. World Wide Web (WWW)=== 
Though ''World Wide Web'' (or simply Web for short) is a term frequently used (incorrectly) when referring to "The Internet", it has two major meanings: First, loosely used: the whole constellation of resources that can be accessed using Gopher, FTP, HTTP, telnet, USENET, WAIS and some other tools. Second, the universe of hypertext servers (HTTP servers), more commonly called "web servers", which are the servers that serve web pages to web browsers.

===c. Chat Room:=== 
A site on the World Wide Web where any number of computer users can type in messages to each other (chat) in real time, creating an online conversation. These messages usually appear on an area of the screen next to the user’s nickname or handle (your online nickname or the name you go by in a chat room). Most chat rooms have a particular topic (which you are expected to discuss) but there are some that are purely for meeting other people.

===d. Download=== 
To copy a file from a remote computer to your computer. There are a few methods of doing this on the Internet. HTTP, FTP and e-mail attachments are the most common. This term is also used when referring to moving pictures from a camera or other image device to a local computer.

===e. Upload:=== 
To move a digital file (such as a media file) from a local system to a server where it is stored for others to access or later retrieval. For example, web pages must be "uploaded" to a web server for them to be viewed on the World Wide Web.
The terminology for "upload" and "download" comes from the days of satellite communications. When an earth-bound terminal send data to the remote computer (the satellite), it was uploaded, as the direction of data travel was up. When the terminal received data from the satellite, it was downloaded, as the directin of data travel was down.

===f. Website=== 
One or more files (pages) stored on a computer (a "server") that can be accessed via the Internet. Every website has a "home page", which is generally designed as the file visitors first see when coming to the site and which gives an idea of the site's contents. All files on a website usually contain textual or graphical "links" that can be clicked using an input device such as a mouse to move to other files, either within the site or on another one.

===g. Email:=== 
Email is similar to personal letters, only a lot faster. Email is used to send messages via your computer to friends and acquaintances around the world. Requires a computer, email software, an email account through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and a modem. Technically, email (electronic mail) is the exchange of computer-stored messages by telecommunication.
Most email messages usually contain text, but you can also send non-text files, such as graphic images and sound files as attachments. Email accounts for a large percentage of the total traffic over the Internet. An email address is easily identified by the '@' symbol, for instance webmaster@pathfindersonline.org, making identification of the domain it's attached to much easier - in this case pathfindersonline.org

===h. Virus=== 
Throughout this honor, the term “virus” represents the traditional virus, as well as trojans, worms, and other malicious code.


;Traditional virus: In computer security technology, a virus is a self-replicating program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents. Thus, a computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells. Extending the analogy, the insertion of the virus into a program is termed infection, and the infected file (or executable code that is not part of a file) is called a host.


;Trojan: named after the Trojan horse used by the rescuers of Helen of Troy. A Trojan is a computer program that disguises itself as a useful software application that is actually used to gain access to your computer.


;Worm: A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program. It uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention. This is due to the poor security the computers infected have. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms almost always cause at least some harm to the network, if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.

==2. Define the following terms and give examples of each:== 
===a.Webmail / POP3 / IMAP mail===
All are methods / techniques for reading email.
;Webmail: Webmail is a web application that allows users to read and write e-mail using a web browser. Examples: Hotmail.com, yahoo.com and many other online services offer you the option to view your email from their website. This is "webmail."


;POP3 mail: Post Office Protocol 3. A protocol that provides a simple, standardized way for users to access mailboxes and download messages to their computers. Examples: Outlook Express, Outlook, Eudora, Mozilla Thunderbird*


;IMAP: Internet Message Access Protocol'. IMAP is a method of distributing e-mail. It is different from the standard POP3 method in that with IMAP, e-mail messages are stored on the server, while in POP3, the messages are transferred to the client's computer when they are read. Thus, using IMAP allows you to access your e-mail from more than one machine, while POP3 does not. This is important because some email servers only work with some protocols. Example: AOL is an IMAP mail provider, though they also offer webmail services.*

These examples are accurate as of 10/2005. Please check Google.com or other search service to verify the accuracy of these examples currently.

===b. Web browser=== 
A program used to view, download, upload, surf or otherwise access documents (pages) on the World Wide Web. Browsers can be text-based meaning they do not show graphics or images but most however are text and graphical based. Browsers read "marked up" or coded pages (usually HTML but not always) that reside on servers and interpret the coding into what we see "rendered" as a Web page. Examples: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari are examples of Web browsers.

===c. IRC/IM (Instant Messenger) client=== 
Internet Relay Chat. A live chat area of the Internet in which real-time conversations among two or more people take place via special software. Each specific IRC channel begins with a # and is dedicated to a different area of interest. IRC is considered another part of the technology of the Internet the same way FTP, Telnet and the Web are.


An instant messenger is a client which allows instant text communication between two or more people through a network such as the Internet.


Examples include Windows Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ client, Yahoo Messenger, and Jabber, as well as software programs that allow you to talk to friends on multiple “messenger” platforms simultaneously.

===d. Streaming Media === 
Video or audio transmitted over a network that users can begin to play immediately instead of waiting for the entire file to download. Typically a few seconds of data is sent ahead and buffered in case of network transmission delays. (Although some data is buffered to the hard drive, it is written to temporary storage and is gone once viewing is complete.) RealMedia, QuickTime and Windows Media are the most common streaming formats.

===e. Search Engine & Search Directories=== 
Internet search engines (e.g. Google, Bing) help users find web pages on a given subject. The search engines maintain databases of web sites and use programs (often referred to as "spiders" or "robots") to collect information, which is then indexed by the search engine. Similar services are provided by "directories," which maintain ordered lists of websites, e.g. Yahoo!

===f. Antivirus software=== 
A computer program designed to detect and respond to malicious software, such as viruses and worms. Responses may include blocking user access to infected files, cleaning infected files or systems, or informing the user that an infected program was detected. Such tools should be included as part of the computing systems environment that the web services are delivered from. Examples include Norton Antivirus, McAfee Antivirus, Trendmicro Antivirus. Online FREE antivirus tools includes Trendmicro's Housecall, and freea-v.com {{ref|antivirus}}.


;Note: Many of these companies also offer "Internet Security Suites" that assist the user in also blocking and removing trojans, worms, malware, and other malicious code.

1. {{note|antivirus}} These software programs are leaders in antivirus technology as of 10/2005. Please check with online resources or local computer/office supply stores for the latest versions and programs available.

===g. Firewall=== 
A system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the Internet, especially intranets. All messages entering or leaving the intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.


Examples include: ZoneAlarm, Microsoft Firewall, Norton Firewall, and many other free and for-pay packages.

==3. Complete one of the following:== 
===a. Write a brief 250-300 word history of the Internet.===
Include date/events surrounding its origin, the major landmark events, the birth and growth of web browsers (such as Mosaic, Netscape, Internet Explorer), and what it is doing today. Remember, this is not a history of computers, but rather a brief history of the Internet. You should list at least 2 online resources from which you found information relevant to your report.
===b. Present a 2-3 minute talk concerning the history of the internet.===
If you choose this option, you will need to present the same information as in option a. It's OK to use notecards during the oral presentation so that you can follow your outline and not have to memorize dates and other facts.

==4. Why is antivirus software important? Include in your answer:== 
===a. What are some ways you can receive viruses via the Internet?===
*Opening an email attachment which was sent by an unknown contact.
*Clicking on a "pop-up" ad in a web page.
*Downloading from the Internet any file that contains a virus.

===b. How is having up-to-date antivirus software important for keeping your computer files safe?=== 
The authors of virus and anti-virus programs are in a continual game of cat-and-mouse. Virus authors are constantly figuring out new ways to get around anti-virus programs, and anti-virus programs are continually updated to thwart the new viruses. The most successful virus programs are the ones most recently developed. If you do not keep your anti-virus software program up-to-date, your computer is vulnerable to the newest viruses.

===c. How can not being protected lead to sharing the virus with other family and friends?=== 
We might share a file to our friends or family through an email or device without knowing that the file contains virus. The virus might damage our friend's or family's computer or even thumb drive that we use to share files that might contain virus.

===d. What harm can a virus do to your computer or to other people’s computers?=== 
Viruses can damage your files in the computer including software. The damaged software contains a copy of the virus, and can then spread to other computers. Many viruses will consume computing power on the host, bogging it down and making it unresponsive. They can attempt to infect other machines over the network, consuming the network's bandwidth and slowing down the Internet connection for all other users in the building (even computers that are not infected).


Many viruses completely take over the computer they infect and can be remotely controlled by the attacker. These attackers can then use the computer to send spam, or mount a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against their target's web server or computer network. Sometimes these viruses record keystrokes on the infected computer so that they can capture usernames, passwords, and bank account numbers. This information can then be forwarded to the attacker who can either use the information or sell it to someone else.

==5. In what ways do content filters(programs like Net Nanny™ or AOL Parental Control) protect your family? With your family, develop & sign a Covenant of Family Internet Usage including the following elements:== 
*'''a. Never reveal personal information'''
*'''b. Remember that people may not be who they say they are.'''
*'''c. Never meet an online friend in the flesh for the first time without a parent present.'''
*'''d. Never respond to flames'''
*'''e. Stop immediately if you see or read anything that upsets you.'''
*'''f.Time each member of the family may spend on the internet per week. Set boundaries that encourage time for family, homework, and other necessary family activities.'''
*'''g. Types of websites that are acceptable/unacceptable to view. What are the principles that your family will use to determine what are acceptable? Base these principles on the Bible.'''

==1. Have the Internet Honor == 
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Internet}}
==2. Have the Basic Computer Honor==
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Computer}}
==3. Define the following terms (or their equivalents) and tell when and how they are used:==
;a. HTTP:
Hyper-text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web. It is the actual communications protocol that enables Web browsing.


;b. Hyperlink :
A hyperlink, more commonly called a link, is an electronic connection between one web page to either (1) other web pages on the same web site, or (2) web pages located on another web site. More specifically, a hyperlink is a connection between one page of a hypertext document to another.


;c. HTML :
HyperText Markup Language, the coding language used to create hypertext documents for the World Wide Web. In HTML, a block of text can be surrounded with tags that indicate how it should appear (for example, in bold face or italics). Also, in HTML a word, a block of text, or an image can be linked to another file on the Web. HTML files are viewed with a World Wide Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera (among others).


;d. Browser safe colors and hex codes:
'''Browser safe colors''' – Many monitors/graphics cards (especially those sold before 2002) were set to display only 256 of the millions of colors that are viewable to the human eye. The browser safe colors are those 216 defined colors that both PC and Macintosh monitors ALWAYS have in common. If those 216 colors are chosen to be used when creating or publishing a website, a user will always see the same colors that you do on your monitor (colors that aren’t part of this 216 color palette are known to sometimes dither, which means they may appear “purple” on one monitor, red on another, and orange on yet another. Photos are not usually grossly affected by this coding).


:'''Hex codes''' are the 6-alphanumeric digits that define the 216 websafe colors, as well as millions of other colors. This six digit format is the way that HTML tells the browser what colors to display. For example, #000000 is black, #FFFFFF is white, and #FF0000 is fire engine red. For a complete list of browser safe colors visit http://www.lynda.com/hex.html


;e. URL:
Uniform Resource Locater – The standard way to give the address of any resource on the Internet that is part of the World Wide Web (WWW). A URL looks like this: http://www.pathfindersonline.org.


;f. Gif :
Graphic Interchange Format – this format was developed by Compuserve in the early days of the internet. It is an 8-bit image format (256 colors) that optimized for internet usage. Images stored in this format are usually of a low-resolution quality, they may be animated, and they may have transparent parts. Photographs usually do not look good if saved in this format.


;g. JPEG:
Joint Photographic Experts Group. A compression technique used for saving images and photographs. This compression method reduced the file size of the images without reducing its quality. Widely used on the World Wide Web.

==4. Learn and demonstrate the use of these HTML tags OR demonstrate equivalent website construction commands in one of the current website development languages (PHP, XML, etc.)== 
===<html>===
This tells the web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Spartan) that this document should be viewed as a web page (instead of as a Word document, PDF file, etc.)

===<head>=== 
This comment allows for additional parts such as Meta tags (for search engines), and other “overall” information. Most of this information is NOT viewed by the user, but is instead “directions” to the browser.
<title>Title of Page</title>
===</head>===
This tag, and all other tags with a backslash (/) show that this part of the command is DONE! All opening tags have a matching closing tag, kind of like parenthesis always both open ( and end). Notice that (1) each formatting tag appears between "less than" (<) and "greater than" (>) signs, and (2) the tags always appear in pairs, with the second tag
in the pair beginning with a "slash" (/).

===<body>=== 
This is the part of the website text viewable to the audience. It can include tables,
images, links, and information all about you or your club.
All of the commands demonstrated below “happen” between the <body> tag and the
</body> tag.

===<nowiki><h1>...</h1></nowiki> === 
Header, level 1 (the largest size type for a header, usually used at the beginning of a page
or the start of a new section). Smaller headers are tagged with <nowiki><h2>...</h2></nowiki>,
<nowiki><h3>...</h3></nowiki>, etc.
As a general rule, you only want one '''<nowiki><h1></nowiki>''' tag per page. This is usually the most important heading on the page, i.e. what the entire page is about. Second-level headings would use an '''<nowiki><h2></nowiki>''', third-level headings an '''<nowiki><h3></nowiki>''', etc.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> ===
'''boldface text'''
Note that the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag has been depricated in HTML5. If the text is a heading, consider using a '''<nowiki><h1></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><h2></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><h3></nowiki>''', etc. tag. If you are trying to "bold" plain text, consider using the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
''italic text''
Like the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag, the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag has been depricated in HTML5. Consider using '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' (for emphasis).

===<nowiki><center>...</center></nowiki> === 
'''<center>This is some centered text</center>'''
Another tag that was depricated in HTML5. Best practices say to use CSS for centering.
If you were to want to center text in HTML5 using inline CSS, what you might do is this:
<code><nowiki><div style="text-align: center">Text to be centered</div></nowiki></code>

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
paragraph return (inserts an extra line space between paragraphs)
Note: Any paragraph returns that you insert in your document by simply hitting the Return key on your keyboard will be ignored by a Web browser. You must use the tag.


 to create a paragraph break on the screen.

===<nowiki> </nowiki>=== 
line break (no extra space)
===<nowiki><hr></nowiki> ===
horizontal rule (a line running left-to-right across the page, to separate one section from the next)
===<nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> ===
ordered, or numbered, list. Each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki> and falls somewhere between the <nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> tags.
===<nowiki><ul>...</ul></nowiki> ===
unordered, or bulleted, list. Again, each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki>.
===<nowiki><a href></nowiki>===
<a href="filename.html">...</a>
a hotlink to another file in the same folder
<a href="http://URL">...</a>
a hotlink to another site. You will have to know the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or Web address, of any site to which you want to link your page.
===<nowiki><img></nowiki>===
<img src="image.gif">
This tag would insert an image with the filename "image.gif" on the far left side of your page.

==5. Make a simple table – include text, a graphic, a horizontal rule, and a link. Use hex Codes to color your text. Make your title larger then the main document text. ==
==6. Learn about: ==
===a. Web graphics and be able to explain the process used to make them download quickly. ===
*i. Three web graphics are supported by the majority of web browsers (gif, jpg, and png). JPG are great for photographs, and gifs work well for clipart, navigation buttons, anything that has transparent areas, and just about anything else. PNG graphics are still not widely accepted, but when they are they will be great, offering lossless compression and displaying images on the web. The advantages of PNG is that it supports images with millions of colors and produces background transparency without jagged edges. These files are 3-15% smaller than gifs, the format they were created to replace. They’re also open source, meaning that its free to create them, manipulate them, and use the png codex to create them.
*ii. Many programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw offer a “save to web” feature that lowers the actual number of colors SAVED in the graphic. While millions of colors may be saved in a large digital photograph, by reducing its size and color-depth, it is possible to shrink many pictures to less than 5% of their original size.

===b. Web safe colors and know when to use them. === 
From the definitions section you already know what web safe colors are. You should use them whenever you are creating banners, headers, text colors, navigation buttons, or other features of a standard website. Use this knowledge to create a jpg and a gif that are both under 15k, but that are still easily viewable on a website, and to create at least five graphical navigation buttons and a title header for your website.

==7. Individually or as a family, unit, or other group, develop a functioning website. All the pages of the website should be “linked” together so that someone visiting your “Homepage” may click to each of the other pages on your website. The website should be composed of no less than 4 pages. The website should include: == 
*a. A welcome page that states the reason for the website & includes at least one image or photograph.
*b. A photos page that shows activities/events you, your family, or group have enjoyed
*c. A guest book or contact page where people can “sign in” that they have visited OR where a contact email address is listed where people can email you when they visit your website.
*d. A links page to other websites that you enjoy. This page should contain at least 8 links.
*e. If your page is for Pathfinders/Youth group/Church or similar organization, create a calendar page that contains upcoming events.
*f. Maintain the above website for at least 3 months. Keep the website information current by changing and editing the content often (Add pictures, update the calendar, etc.).

==Equipment / Resources for fulfilling the Advanced Internet Honor: == 
*'''Computer''' (either Macintosh or PC) with browser support -- many editing programs are built into the Web 2.0 interface, meaning that all you have to do is login and start editing your webpages/website. OR in some classic environments, you may need to edit with an HTML editing program or WYSIWYG web design program. On a PC, "Notepad" or on a Mac, "TextEdit" can create HTML and freeware such as Komposer (PC, Mac, Linux) are available.
*'''A scanner''', a '''digital camera''' or another means of getting photos on the computer.
*'''Web space''' can be obtained for free almost anywhere, just do a search for “free web hosting.” Be aware that most free sites are ad supported and those ads may NOT support the ideals of your organization. If you are creating a site for an Adventist church/school, you have free website space already from adventistchurchconnect.com. Contact them or login for more information.

==1. Have the Internet Honor == 
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Internet}}
==2. Have the Basic Computer Honor==
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Computer}}
==3. Define the following terms (or their equivalents) and tell when and how they are used:==
;a. HTTP:
Hyper-text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web. It is the actual communications protocol that enables Web browsing.


;b. Hyperlink :
A hyperlink, more commonly called a link, is an electronic connection between one web page to either (1) other web pages on the same web site, or (2) web pages located on another web site. More specifically, a hyperlink is a connection between one page of a hypertext document to another.


;c. HTML :
HyperText Markup Language, the coding language used to create hypertext documents for the World Wide Web. In HTML, a block of text can be surrounded with tags that indicate how it should appear (for example, in bold face or italics). Also, in HTML a word, a block of text, or an image can be linked to another file on the Web. HTML files are viewed with a World Wide Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera (among others).


;d. Browser safe colors and hex codes:
'''Browser safe colors''' – Many monitors/graphics cards (especially those sold before 2002) were set to display only 256 of the millions of colors that are viewable to the human eye. The browser safe colors are those 216 defined colors that both PC and Macintosh monitors ALWAYS have in common. If those 216 colors are chosen to be used when creating or publishing a website, a user will always see the same colors that you do on your monitor (colors that aren’t part of this 216 color palette are known to sometimes dither, which means they may appear “purple” on one monitor, red on another, and orange on yet another. Photos are not usually grossly affected by this coding).


:'''Hex codes''' are the 6-alphanumeric digits that define the 216 websafe colors, as well as millions of other colors. This six digit format is the way that HTML tells the browser what colors to display. For example, #000000 is black, #FFFFFF is white, and #FF0000 is fire engine red. For a complete list of browser safe colors visit http://www.lynda.com/hex.html


;e. URL:
Uniform Resource Locater – The standard way to give the address of any resource on the Internet that is part of the World Wide Web (WWW). A URL looks like this: http://www.pathfindersonline.org.


;f. Gif :
Graphic Interchange Format – this format was developed by Compuserve in the early days of the internet. It is an 8-bit image format (256 colors) that optimized for internet usage. Images stored in this format are usually of a low-resolution quality, they may be animated, and they may have transparent parts. Photographs usually do not look good if saved in this format.


;g. JPEG:
Joint Photographic Experts Group. A compression technique used for saving images and photographs. This compression method reduced the file size of the images without reducing its quality. Widely used on the World Wide Web.

==4. Learn and demonstrate the use of these HTML tags OR demonstrate equivalent website construction commands in one of the current website development languages (PHP, XML, etc.)== 
===<html>===
This tells the web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Spartan) that this document should be viewed as a web page (instead of as a Word document, PDF file, etc.)

===<head>=== 
This comment allows for additional parts such as Meta tags (for search engines), and other “overall” information. Most of this information is NOT viewed by the user, but is instead “directions” to the browser.
<title>Title of Page</title>
===</head>===
This tag, and all other tags with a backslash (/) show that this part of the command is DONE! All opening tags have a matching closing tag, kind of like parenthesis always both open ( and end). Notice that (1) each formatting tag appears between "less than" (<) and "greater than" (>) signs, and (2) the tags always appear in pairs, with the second tag
in the pair beginning with a "slash" (/).

===<body>=== 
This is the part of the website text viewable to the audience. It can include tables,
images, links, and information all about you or your club.
All of the commands demonstrated below “happen” between the <body> tag and the
</body> tag.

===<nowiki><h1>...</h1></nowiki> === 
Header, level 1 (the largest size type for a header, usually used at the beginning of a page
or the start of a new section). Smaller headers are tagged with <nowiki><h2>...</h2></nowiki>,
<nowiki><h3>...</h3></nowiki>, etc.
As a general rule, you only want one '''<nowiki><h1></nowiki>''' tag per page. This is usually the most important heading on the page, i.e. what the entire page is about. Second-level headings would use an '''<nowiki><h2></nowiki>''', third-level headings an '''<nowiki><h3></nowiki>''', etc.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> ===
'''boldface text'''
Note that the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag has been depricated in HTML5. If the text is a heading, consider using a '''<nowiki><h1></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><h2></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><h3></nowiki>''', etc. tag. If you are trying to "bold" plain text, consider using the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
''italic text''
Like the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag, the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag has been depricated in HTML5. Consider using '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' (for emphasis).

===<nowiki><center>...</center></nowiki> === 
'''<center>This is some centered text</center>'''
Another tag that was depricated in HTML5. Best practices say to use CSS for centering.
If you were to want to center text in HTML5 using inline CSS, what you might do is this:
<code><nowiki><div style="text-align: center">Text to be centered</div></nowiki></code>

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
paragraph return (inserts an extra line space between paragraphs)
Note: Any paragraph returns that you insert in your document by simply hitting the Return key on your keyboard will be ignored by a Web browser. You must use the tag.


 to create a paragraph break on the screen.

===<nowiki> </nowiki>=== 
line break (no extra space)
===<nowiki><hr></nowiki> ===
horizontal rule (a line running left-to-right across the page, to separate one section from the next)
===<nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> ===
ordered, or numbered, list. Each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki> and falls somewhere between the <nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> tags.
===<nowiki><ul>...</ul></nowiki> ===
unordered, or bulleted, list. Again, each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki>.
===<nowiki><a href></nowiki>===
<a href="filename.html">...</a>
a hotlink to another file in the same folder
<a href="http://URL">...</a>
a hotlink to another site. You will have to know the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or Web address, of any site to which you want to link your page.
===<nowiki><img></nowiki>===
<img src="image.gif">
This tag would insert an image with the filename "image.gif" on the far left side of your page.

==5. Make a simple table – include text, a graphic, a horizontal rule, and a link. Use hex Codes to color your text. Make your title larger then the main document text. ==

Uniform Resource Locater – The standard way to give the address of any resource on the Internet that is part of the World Wide Web (WWW). A URL looks like this: http://www.pathfindersonline.org.


;f. Gif :
Graphic Interchange Format – this format was developed by Compuserve in the early days of the internet. It is an 8-bit image format (256 colors) that optimized for internet usage. Images stored in this format are usually of a low-resolution quality, they may be animated, and they may have transparent parts. Photographs usually do not look good if saved in this format.


;g. JPEG:
Joint Photographic Experts Group. A compression technique used for saving images and photographs. This compression method reduced the file size of the images without reducing its quality. Widely used on the World Wide Web.

==4. Learn and demonstrate the use of these HTML tags OR demonstrate equivalent website construction commands in one of the current website development languages (PHP, XML, etc.)== 
===<html>===
This tells the web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Spartan) that this document should be viewed as a web page (instead of as a Word document, PDF file, etc.)

===<head>=== 
This comment allows for additional parts such as Meta tags (for search engines), and other “overall” information. Most of this information is NOT viewed by the user, but is instead “directions” to the browser.
<title>Title of Page</title>
===</head>===
This tag, and all other tags with a backslash (/) show that this part of the command is DONE! All opening tags have a matching closing tag, kind of like parenthesis always both open ( and end). Notice that (1) each formatting tag appears between "less than" (<) and "greater than" (>) signs, and (2) the tags always appear in pairs, with the second tag
in the pair beginning with a "slash" (/).

===<body>=== 
This is the part of the website text viewable to the audience. It can include tables,
images, links, and information all about you or your club.
All of the commands demonstrated below “happen” between the <body> tag and the
</body> tag.

===<nowiki><h1>...</h1></nowiki> === 
Header, level 1 (the largest size type for a header, usually used at the beginning of a page
or the start of a new section). Smaller headers are tagged with <nowiki><h2>...</h2></nowiki>,
<nowiki><h3>...</h3></nowiki>, etc.
As a general rule, you only want one '''<nowiki><h1></nowiki>''' tag per page. This is usually the most important heading on the page, i.e. what the entire page is about. Second-level headings would use an '''<nowiki><h2></nowiki>''', third-level headings an '''<nowiki><h3></nowiki>''', etc.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> ===
'''boldface text'''
Note that the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag has been depricated in HTML5. If the text is a heading, consider using a '''<nowiki><h1></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><h2></nowiki>''', '''<nowiki><h3></nowiki>''', etc. tag. If you are trying to "bold" plain text, consider using the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
''italic text''
Like the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag, the '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' tag has been depricated in HTML5. Consider using '''<nowiki></nowiki>''' (for emphasis).

===<nowiki><center>...</center></nowiki> === 
<center>centered text</center>
Another tag that was depricated in HTML5. Best practices say to use CSS for centering.
If you were to want to center text in HTML5 using inline CSS, what you might do is this:
<nowiki><div style="text-align: center">Text to be centered</div></nowiki>

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
paragraph return (inserts an extra line space between paragraphs)
Note: Any paragraph returns that you insert in your document by simply hitting the Return key on your keyboard will be ignored by a Web browser. You must use the tag.


 to create a paragraph break on the screen.

===<nowiki> </nowiki>=== 
line break (no extra space)
===<nowiki><hr></nowiki> ===
horizontal rule (a line running left-to-right across the page, to separate one section from the next)
===<nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> ===
ordered, or numbered, list. Each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki> and falls somewhere between the <nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> tags.
===<nowiki><ul>...</ul></nowiki> ===
unordered, or bulleted, list. Again, each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki>.
===<nowiki><a href></nowiki>===
<a href="filename.html">...</a>
a hotlink to another file in the same folder
<a href="http://URL">...</a>
a hotlink to another site. You will have to know the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or Web address, of any site to which you want to link your page.
===<nowiki><img></nowiki>===
<img src="image.gif">
This tag would insert an image with the filename "image.gif" on the far left side of your page.

==5. Make a simple table – include text, a graphic, a horizontal rule, and a link. Use hex Codes to color your text. Make your title larger then the main document text. ==
==6. Learn about: ==
===a. Web graphics and be able to explain the process used to make them download quickly. ===
*i. Three web graphics are supported by the majority of web browsers (gif, jpg, and png). JPG are great for photographs, and gifs work well for clipart, navigation buttons, anything that has transparent areas, and just about anything else. PNG graphics are still not widely accepted, but when they are they will be great, offering lossless compression and displaying images on the web. The advantages of PNG is that it supports images with millions of colors and produces background transparency without jagged edges. These files are 3-15% smaller than gifs, the format they were created to replace. They’re also open source, meaning that its free to create them, manipulate them, and use the png codex to create them.
*ii. Many programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw offer a “save to web” feature that lowers the actual number of colors SAVED in the graphic. While millions of colors may be saved in a large digital photograph, by reducing its size and color-depth, it is possible to shrink many pictures to less than 5% of their original size.

===b. Web safe colors and know when to use them. === 
From the definitions section you already know what web safe colors are. You should use them whenever you are creating banners, headers, text colors, navigation buttons, or other features of a standard website. Use this knowledge to create a jpg and a gif that are both under 15k, but that are still easily viewable on a website, and to create at least five graphical navigation buttons and a title header for your website.

==7. Individually or as a family, unit, or other group, develop a functioning website. All the pages of the website should be “linked” together so that someone visiting your “Homepage” may click to each of the other pages on your website. The website should be composed of no less than 4 pages. The website should include: == 
*a. A welcome page that states the reason for the website & includes at least one image or photograph.
*b. A photos page that shows activities/events you, your family, or group have enjoyed
*c. A guest book or contact page where people can “sign in” that they have visited OR where a contact email address is listed where people can email you when they visit your website.
*d. A links page to other websites that you enjoy. This page should contain at least 8 links.
*e. If your page is for Pathfinders/Youth group/Church or similar organization, create a calendar page that contains upcoming events.
*f. Maintain the above website for at least 3 months. Keep the website information current by changing and editing the content often (Add pictures, update the calendar, etc.).

==Equipment / Resources for fulfilling the Advanced Internet Honor: == 
*'''Computer''' (either Macintosh or PC) with browser support -- many editing programs are built into the Web 2.0 interface, meaning that all you have to do is login and start editing your webpages/website. OR in some classic environments, you may need to edit with an HTML editing program or WYSIWYG web design program. On a PC, the simple NOTEPAD can create HTML and freeware such as Komposer (PC, Mac, Linux) are available.
*'''A scanner''', a '''digital camera''' or another means of getting photos on the computer.
*'''Web space''' can be obtained for free almost anywhere, just do a search for “free web hosting.” Be aware that most free sites are ad supported and those ads may NOT support the ideals of your organization. If you are creating a site for an Adventist church/school, you have free website space already from adventistchurchconnect.com. Contact them or login for more information.

==1. Have the Internet Honor == 
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Internet}}
==2. Have the Basic Computer Honor==
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Computer}}
==3. Define the following terms (or their equivalents) and tell when and how they are used:==
;a. HTTP:
Hyper-text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web. It is the actual communications protocol that enables Web browsing.


;b. Hyperlink :
A hyperlink, more commonly called a link, is an electronic connection between one web page to either (1) other web pages on the same web site, or (2) web pages located on another web site. More specifically, a hyperlink is a connection between one page of a hypertext document to another.


;c. HTML :
HyperText Markup Language, the coding language used to create hypertext documents for the World Wide Web. In HTML, a block of text can be surrounded with tags that indicate how it should appear (for example, in bold face or italics). Also, in HTML a word, a block of text, or an image can be linked to another file on the Web. HTML files are viewed with a World Wide Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera (among others).


;d. Browser safe colors and hex codes:
'''Browser safe colors''' – Many monitors/graphics cards (especially those sold before 2002) were set to display only 256 of the millions of colors that are viewable to the human eye. The browser safe colors are those 216 defined colors that both PC and Macintosh monitors ALWAYS have in common. If those 216 colors are chosen to be used when creating or publishing a website, a user will always see the same colors that you do on your monitor (colors that aren’t part of this 216 color palette are known to sometimes dither, which means they may appear “purple” on one monitor, red on another, and orange on yet another. Photos are not usually grossly affected by this coding).


:'''Hex codes''' are the 6-alphanumeric digits that define the 216 websafe colors, as well as millions of other colors. This six digit format is the way that HTML tells the browser what colors to display. For example, #000000 is black, #FFFFFF is white, and #FF0000 is fire engine red.

==1. Have the Internet Honor == 
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Internet}}
==2. Have the Basic Computer Honor==
{{honor_prerequisite|category=Vocational|honor=Computer}}
==3. Define the following terms (or their equivalents) and tell when and how they are used:==
;a. HTTP:
Hyper-text Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web. It is the actual communications protocol that enables Web browsing.


;b. Hyperlink :
A hyperlink, more commonly called a link, is an electronic connection between one web page to either (1) other web pages on the same web site, or (2) web pages located on another web site. More specifically, a hyperlink is a connection between one page of a hypertext document to another.


;c. HTML :
HyperText Markup Language, the coding language used to create hypertext documents for the World Wide Web. In HTML, a block of text can be surrounded with tags that indicate how it should appear (for example, in bold face or italics). Also, in HTML a word, a block of text, or an image can be linked to another file on the Web. HTML files are viewed with a World Wide Web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape, or Opera (among others).


;d. Browser safe colors and hex codes:
'''Browser safe colors''' – Many monitors/graphics cards (especially those sold before 2002) were set to display only 256 of the millions of colors that are viewable to the human eye. The browser safe colors are those 216 defined colors that both PC and Macintosh monitors ALWAYS have in common. If those 216 colors are chosen to be used when creating or publishing a website, a user will always see the same colors that you do on your monitor (colors that aren’t part of this 216 color palette are known to sometimes dither, which means they may appear “purple” on one monitor, red on another, and orange on yet another. Photos are not usually grossly affected by this coding).


:'''Hex codes''' are the 6-alphanumeric digits that define the 216 websafe colors, as well as millions of other colors. This six digit format is the way that HTML tells the browser what colors to display. For example, #000000 is black, #FFFFFF is white, and #FF0000 is fire engine red. For a complete list of browser safe colors visit http://www.lynda.com/hex.html


;e. URL:
Uniform Resource Locater – The standard way to give the address of any resource on the Internet that is part of the World Wide Web (WWW). A URL looks like this: http://www.pathfindersonline.org.


;f. Gif :
Graphic Interchange Format – this format was developed by Compuserve in the early days of the internet. It is an 8-bit image format (256 colors) that optimized for internet usage. Images stored in this format are usually of a low-resolution quality, they may be animated, and they may have transparent parts. Photographs usually do not look good if saved in this format.


;g. JPEG:
Joint Photographic Experts Group. A compression technique used for saving images and photographs. This compression method reduced the file size of the images without reducing its quality. Widely used on the World Wide Web.

==4. Learn and demonstrate the use of these HTML tags OR demonstrate equivalent website construction commands in one of the current website development languages (PHP, XML, etc.)== 
===<html>===
This tells the web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape) that this document should be viewed as a web page (instead of as a Word document, PDF file, etc.)

===<head>=== 
This comment allows for additional parts such as Meta tags (for search engines), and other “overall” information. Most of this information is NOT viewed by the user, but is instead “directions” to the browser.
<title>Title of Page</title>
===</head>===
This tag, and all other tags with a backslash (/) show that this part of the command is DONE! All opening tags have a matching closing tag, kind of like parenthesis always both open ( and end). Notice that (1) each formatting tag appears between "less than" (<) and "greater than" (>) signs, and (2) the tags always appear in pairs, with the second tag
in the pair beginning with a "slash" (/).

===<body>=== 
This is the part of the website text viewable to the audience. It can include tables,
images, links, and information all about you or your club.
All of the commands demonstrated below “happen” between the <body> tag and the
</body> tag.

===<nowiki><h1>...</h1></nowiki> === 
Header, level 1 (the largest size type for a header, usually used at the beginning of a page
or the start of a new section). Smaller headers are tagged with <nowiki><h2>...</h2></nowiki>,
<nowiki><h3>...</h3></nowiki>, etc.
===<nowiki>...</nowiki> ===
'''boldface text'''
Note that the <nowiki></nowiki> tag has been depricated in HTML5. If the text is a heading, consider using a <nowiki><h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc.</nowiki> tag. If you are trying to "bold" plain text, consider using the <nowiki></nowiki> tag.

===<nowiki>...</nowiki> === 
''italic text''

===<nowiki><center>...</center></nowiki> === 
<center>centered text</center>

===<nowiki></nowiki> === 
paragraph return (inserts an extra line space between paragraphs)
Note: Any paragraph returns that you insert in your document by simply hitting the Return key on your keyboard will be ignored by a Web browser. You must use the tag.


 to create a paragraph break on the screen.

===<nowiki> </nowiki>=== 
line break (no extra space)
===<nowiki><hr></nowiki> ===
horizontal rule (a line running left-to-right across the page, to separate one section from the next)
===<nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> ===
ordered, or numbered, list. Each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki> and falls somewhere between the <nowiki><ol>...</ol></nowiki> tags.
===<nowiki><ul>...</ul></nowiki> ===
unordered, or bulleted, list. Again, each list item begins with the tag <nowiki><li></nowiki>.
===<nowiki><a href></nowiki>===
<a href="filename.html">...</a>
a hotlink to another file in the same folder
<a href="http://URL">...</a>
a hotlink to another site. You will have to know the Uniform Resource Locator (URL), or Web address, of any site to which you want to link your page.
===<nowiki><img></nowiki>===
<img src="image.gif">
This tag would insert an image with the filename "image.gif" on the far left side of your page.
==5. Make a simple table – include text, a graphic, a horizontal rule, and a link. Use hex Codes to color your text. Make your title larger then the main document text. ==
==6. Learn about: ==
===a. Web graphics and be able to explain the process used to make them download quickly. ===
*i. Three web graphics are supported by the majority of web browsers (gif, jpg, and png). JPG are great for photographs, and gifs work well for clipart, navigation buttons, anything that has transparent areas, and just about anything else. PNG graphics are still not widely accepted, but when they are they will be great, offering lossless compression and displaying images on the web. The advantages of PNG is that it supports images with millions of colors and produces background transparency without jagged edges. These files are 3-15% smaller than gifs, the format they were created to replace. They’re also open source, meaning that its free to create them, manipulate them, and use the png codex to create them.
*ii. Many programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Draw offer a “save to web” feature that lowers the actual number of colors SAVED in the graphic. While millions of colors may be saved in a large digital photograph, by reducing its size and color-depth, it is possible to shrink many pictures to less than 5% of their original size.

===b. Web safe colors and know when to use them. === 
From the definitions section you already know what web safe colors are. You should use them whenever you are creating banners, headers, text colors, navigation buttons, or other features of a standard website. Use this knowledge to create a jpg and a gif that are both under 15k, but that are still easily viewable on a website, and to create at least five graphical navigation buttons and a title header for your website.

==7. Individually or as a family, unit, or other group, develop a functioning website. All the pages of the website should be “linked” together so that someone visiting your “Homepage” may click to each of the other pages on your website. The website should be composed of no less than 4 pages. The website should include: == 
*a. A welcome page that states the reason for the website & includes at least one image or photograph.
*b. A photos page that shows activities/events you, your family, or group have enjoyed
*c. A guest book or contact page where people can “sign in” that they have visited OR where a contact email address is listed where people can email you when they visit your website.
*d. A links page to other websites that you enjoy. This page should contain at least 8 links.
*e. If your page is for Pathfinders/Youth group/Church or similar organization, create a calendar page that contains upcoming events.
*f. Maintain the above website for at least 3 months. Keep the website information current by changing and editing the content often (Add pictures, update the calendar, etc.).

==Equipment / Resources for fulfilling the Advanced Internet Honor: == 
*'''Computer''' (either Macintosh or PC) with browser support -- many editing programs are built into the Web 2.0 interface, meaning that all you have to do is login and start editing your webpages/website. OR in some classic environments, you may need to edit with an HTML editing program or WYSIWYG web design program. On a PC, the simple NOTEPAD can create HTML and freeware such as Komposer (PC, Mac, Linux) are available.
*'''A scanner''', a '''digital camera''' or another means of getting photos on the computer.
*'''Web space''' can be obtained for free almost anywhere, just do a search for “free web hosting.” Be aware that most free sites are ad supported and those ads may NOT support the ideals of your organization. If you are creating a site for an Adventist church/school, you have free website space already from adventistchurchconnect.com. Contact them or login for more information.

== '''Introduction''' ==
''Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book'' is an instructor's guide for teaching Adventist Youth (AY) [http://www.pathfindersonline.org/html/honors/ Honors] to members of [[w:Pathfinders (Seventh-day Adventist)|Pathfinder Clubs]] and Adventist Youth Societies. [http://youth.gc.adventist.org Pathfinders and Adventist Youth] are youth clubs operated by the [http://www.adventist.org Seventh-day Adventist Church]. The official requirements for all honors are available on the [http://www.pathfindersonline.org/html/honors/ NAD Pathfinders site].

==Honor Category Index==
There are 380 honors that have been approved at or above the Division level. These are presented below in nine honor categories. The stage icons ({{stage short|25%|30 Nov, 2007}}) indicate the percentage of honors in each category that have comprehensive answers. The stage icon does not take partially answered honors into account.

Official answer books for some honor categories are available through [http://adventsource.org/ Advent''Source''], although some honor categories do not have answer books at all. This Wikibook aims to fill that gap. The requirements (without answers) for all honors are available through Advent''Source'' or online in various locations. The answers here are based on the requirements as adopted for the [http://www.pathfindersonline.org North American Division] unless otherwise noted.

This answer book is being written ''by'' Pathfinders ''for'' Pathfinders. Anyone (even non-Pathfinders) can contribute new answers or edit existing answers, and the reader is encouraged to become an active participant in the development of this continually evolving work.
 

== Honors with Completed Answer Entries ==

The entries for these honors have complete answers. Others are still under
construction and may have had substantial work done on them, so it's very much
worth your time to check in the appropriate series index for the honor you're
interested in teaching.

==Guidelines for Contributors==
If you wish to contribute, welcome! Here are some guidelines.

The requirements for every honor have already been entered, with the exception of the newest honors with unreleased requirements. Instruction for meeting the requirement, or an answer to the question posed by the requirement should follow the requirement. Look at some of the existing answers to see how they are structured before you begin. Press the "edit this page" link to see how wiki markup is done, and be sure to check out the "editing help" link that appears at the bottom of a page being edited.

Please '''do not copy content from copyrighted sources''' without securing permission first. This especially applies to the answers in the official Answer Books by Leland Davis. It also applies to content that other people have written for various Pathfinder websites and to images you find on the Internet. Please read the [[Wikibooks:Copyrights]] section for more information. It is OK to gather information from these resources, and you are encouraged to consult multiple sources - but with few exceptions, you must put answers in your own words.

Resources in the public domain can be incorporated here without any constraints. This includes ''original'' works by the US government and anything published in the US before 1923. You also may copy content (modified or verbatim) from [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia], and you may use any images you find in the [http://commons.wikimedia.org Wikimedia Commons]. Be aware though that many wikipedia articles are written at a very high level, often requiring a college education (or medical degree!) to fully understand.

Keep your audience in mind when writing. Try to use language that is geared toward the typical Pathfinder who will be taught using this information. That means you should write at the fifth-grade level for honors that are designated as skill level 1, and eighth-grade level for honors that are designated at skill levels 2 and 3. It's OK to use technical terms as long as they are explained in the text.
