Master Activity 2: Explore
Complete the following Master Activity and submit your completed project.
Using Windows 10, explore each of the following:
- A pointer—any symbol that displays on your screen in response to moving your mouse and with which you can select objects and commands.
- An insertion point—a blinking vertical line that indicates where text will be inserted when you type or where an action will take place.
- A pointing device, such as a mouse or touchpad, to control the pointer.
- Icons—small images that represent commands, files, applications, or other windows.
- Desktop—a simulation of a real desk that represents your work area; here you can arrange icons such as shortcuts to programs, files, folders, and various types of documents, in the same manner you would arrange physical objects on top of a desk.
Using the snipping tool or any other screen capturing tool, take a snip of each of the above. Paste them into a word document with a label. Take care to not include any personal or confidential information.
