Mikey+D

Hello my name is Mikey. i hope you like my web page about this school year.



In word processing we learned how to do a page break and insert footer. Also we did print preview and properties for the printing. We did numbering, bullets, line spacing and editing on //Microsoft Word//. We learned how to do superscriptsWe used Google to search for answers to some questions. We found the answers to the questions and typed the URL for each answer and did proper formatting. Jonny Depp is awesome. [|michael65wps.doc]
 * __ Word Processing __**

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.

We got pictures of our family and made a collage and we did the proper formatting. But I couldn’t find photos of my family so I got things that I liked. It was cool and interesting. [|mikey65collage.jpg]
 * __ Scrapbook Collage with //MS Publisher// __**

We learned how located places on //Google Earth//. I did the flight simulator on //Google Earth//. It was very interesting. [|mikey65 google earth.pdf] Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration// ** We found information about early man and there different types and one way to organize that information as a graphic. One of the really neat things about Inspiration is that it will take a graphic and create an outline of the information on the early men. I could use that outline to write a report about my information on the early men that I had. I added pictures to my graphic representation of my early man research.

 We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations. [|mikey65earlyciv.Ins.jpg]
 * Early Civilization Graphic with //Inspiration// **

To better understand the information about Early Man and Early Civilizations, we put the information into a timeline, using //TimeLiner//. This chronological order of our information is a graphic and I also placed 5 pictures of early men into my TimeLiner file of early men and found information about what they did.[|MIKEY65ANCIENTMANTL.JPG]

 * MS Excel Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms **

 We worked with an //Excel// spreadsheet to create a data table and a column graph. We counted the number of peanut and plain M&Ms of each color and compared these numbers in a column graph. I made a column graph and formatted it to look real awesome. Then we got to eat the M&Ms. Yum! Yum! [|mikey65M&MColor.xls]

** 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 liquefy, distort, stretch and burned our photos to insanity. At the end we had a classroom of monsters, crazies, people with floating heads, “weird beings and blobs”. You will get to see “me” on my web site this spring. [|mikeyD65morph2.jpg]
