Hello everyone! My name is Colin. I hope you enjoy my webpage that reflects my school year!

  At the beginning of our computer classes with Mr. Williams we learned how to use bullets, numbering, how to insert a graphic or picture and format it, and how to use subscript and superscript in //Microsoft Word//. I knew nearly all of this but I was not familiar with superscript and subscript, which I liked most. [|Colin65wps.doc]
 * __Word Processing __**

We did a small project using the search engine //Google// to find answers to questions while putting the answers in using indented paragraphs, block paragraphs, and bullet statements. I knew almost all of it but I had to adjust to writing complete sentences in bullet statements. [|Colin65IntQues.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Internet Searching __**

We used the track changes feature in //MS Word// to modify the Gettysburg Address to make it sound in more modern English. This lesson was short, and it will be useful when we use track changes later in the year. [|Colin65MSWordWritingProcess.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Editing With Track Changes __**

We brought in pictures to use to make a collage with //MS Publisher// and used orders to make the pictures in the right place on the screen. I had to crop some of my pictures as well. We also used custom headings and changed the angles too! I liked customizing the headings and am thankful to learn how to use orders. [|Colin65Collage.jpg]

Mr. Williams showed us //Google Earth// and what it can be used for. He showed us the different things you can enable and disable, how to spin, zoom, and proper key works in the find box. I liked searching for my house and looking at my relatives house. I wasn’t completely familiar with the different buttons, but now I am. [|Colin65GoogleEarth.pdf]

To understand when Man evolved at different ages, we made a //Timeliner 5.0// file. I had not used this program, and it was completely alien to me. We walked through it and eventually we got to put graphics into our timeline. [|COLIN65ANCIENTMANTL.JPG]

We made a web in the program //Inspiration// to layout information about early man. I was also unfamiliar with this program, and I didn’t realize how easy it was. I like how we could make each subtopic a different color and put an image for the main idea. [|Colin65EarlyManIns.jpg]

We did the same thing as before, but this time we made a web of early civilizations in the Fertile Crescent. I was interested in learning about the civilization’s specific cultures. It’s amazing how we went from //Australopithecine// to us! [|Colin65EarlyCivIns.jpg]

 * __MS Excel Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms__**

We used Microsoft //Excel// to make a graph of the different M&M colors in a bag. Our results showed that the peanut M&Ms were not as good a value as normal ones. We made a graph of our results and made it look //really pretty!!!!!!!// [|Colin65M&Mcolor.xlsx]


 * __MS Excel Spreadsheet as a Database__**

We looked at a spreadsheet as a database. Each of the cells was a piece of information about the students in the Middle School. We saw how a database can be sorted, based on the information. We updated our own personal information.   **There is no example because this is confidential information.**

We worked with our school pictures and //PhotoShop// to change our photos. Afterwards we walked around and found ghouls, destructive beings, and publicity campaigns. You will get to see my demonic soul on my website! [|Colin65morph.jpg]
