Emily+H



Hi everyone smart enough to visit MY webpage. My name is Emily and this is my webpage. This webpage shows what we did in our tech class throughout the year, and what new things we learned. I hope you enjoy this!

**__ Word Processing __** In this project, we learned many essential skills that will help enhance our technique in our future typing. We learned about numbers and bullet points, how to change line spacing, types of paragraphs (indented and block), inserting graphics, keyboarding and touch typing skills, how to insert a page break, subscripts and superscripts and how to make a table. A very useful project!

 * __ Word Processing and Internet Searching __**

In this project, we had instructions for a number of questions, and our job was to research the internet for the answers to those questions. We had to provide the: 1. Answer to the question 2. Resource used 3. URL of website You also had to answer those questions in a specific format (e.g. answer in block paragraphs or indented paragraphs).

 * __ Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes __**

In this project, we used the Track Changes feature in //MS Word// to practice editing a word processed document. This was a short lesson, but will be useful when we start peer editing our non-fiction and fiction writing.

 * __ Scrapbook Collage with //MS Publisher// __**

In this project, we used //MS Publisher// to create a collage on A4 paper. We did our collage in either portrait or landscape. We used pictures of members of ourselves, family and friends. We had to, however, make sure that the pictures were not out of the dotted lines, or the pictures may not show up completely. This was a very entertaining project and it helped us get used to this feature, //MS Publisher.// [|Emily67Collage2.jpg]

//Google Earth// is a very nicely done program that enables us to view the entire world on the computer. It is taken using satellite pictures and you may zoom into a certain view to get a close-up of the picture. You can even find your own house and see your car! //Google Earth// also lets you measure the distance between two places, and it lets you see the sun and time too. //Google Earth// also has a flight simulator and it is very realistic indeed! //Google Earth// is a very useful device and can be used in many ways.

Inspiration is a very efficient tool that allows you to create a web. This is particularly useful as you are able to link one idea with another and create an organized “chain”. With //Inspiration// we made a web for early humans. We started from “Australopithecines to “Homo Sapiens”. We could not have done this project without //Inspiration//!

With //Timeliner// we made an organized timeline, listing all early man in chronological order. This was neat, organized, and fun to do! [|EMILY67ANCIENTMANTL.JPG]**__

Early Civilization Graphic with //Inspiration// __** We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations.

  **__M&M Spreadsheet with //Excel//__** In this project, we created a spreadsheet using Microsoft Excel. On our spreadsheet we counted the number of each color in the peanut M&Ms bag and the plain M&Ms bag. We then compared each color in a graph. We were able to choose each format, color and style of each graph. Then we celebrated our high tech skills by eating M&Ms!

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.

 
 * __ Altered Photos with //PhotoShop// __**

Using //Photoshop Elements//, we created a morphed version of our school pictures. For this project, we used both our “photoshopping” skills and our creativity skills as well. You will be able to see all our pictures on our websites soon. This was a very fun project
