Hello, Welcome to my Web Page. This is a web page that has all the work that I did this year. I Hope you enjoy it! Lindy =D



For the word processing lesson, we typed up a paper that Mr. Williams gave us using //Microsoft Word Document//. While typing this up we were learning how to do things like formatting a picture and how to format block paragraphs and indented paragraphs, we also learned superscripts and subscripts. I thought that superscripts and subscripts were the most difficult thing to do because I had trouble finding them at first but now I am good at superscripts and subscripts because I practiced during that lesson.

**__Word Processing and Internet Searching__** We used the search engine //Google// to answer four questions. We then formatted the answers into indented paragraphs, block paragraphs, bullet statements and numbered statements. I really liked watching the Sk8r Boi music video. It was fun.

We used the Track Changes Feature in //Microsoft Word Document// editing a word document. This was a short lesson but will be useful when we start peer editing our non-fiction and fiction writing. [|Lindy64 MS Word - Writing Process.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes __**

We used //MS Publisher// for this lesson. We made a collage with pictures of friends, family and pets. We learned how to format pictures such as cropping and how to bring pictures to the front or send them to the back. We also learned how to make your background (if you didn’t know already.) It was fun looking at all my old pictures and showing them to others and looking at theirs.

Google Earth __** For the //Google Earth// lesson we explored //Google Earth//, an online mapping program created by Google. It was really fun to use. First we tried finding our houses, and then pinpointed them. You can find buildings and restaurants, highways, streets and many more. Mr. Williams even showed us his house in Florida, Mickey’s house, Capital Paradise and ISB.I liked using //Google Earth// and I also learned how to play flight simulator on it.

For this lesson, we used the Timeliner to organize the early man data, while learning about early man. We also learned about the functions in //Timeliner// because for some of us it was the first time using //Timeliner.// This lesson was fun, but I forgot how to rapid fire.

Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration// __** For this lesson we copied data from a document with the information on it from Mr. Williams. We used the Rapid-fire button to make it easier for us to make the bubbles. After we put the data in the bubbles, we color coded it so we knew which was in what group. This was a very fun lesson but the process took a while. [|Lindy64_Early_Man_Ins.jpg]

We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about Chinese dynasties. [|Lindy64_Chinese_Dynasties_Ins.jpg]

 **__MS Excel Spreadsheet Graph on M&M's__**

We worked on an Excel spreadsheet to make a table and a graph. We counted M&Ms both plain and peanuts and compared the numbers in a graph. I made my graph different colors and it looked nice and bright. Then we got to eat the M&Ms. they were delicious! [|Lindy64 M&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.

We morphed our school photos in PhotoShop. Mr. Williams taught and showed us some of the tools but other than that we explored PhotoShop on our own. In the end everyone had silly and funny pictures. In spring you will be able to check it out on the new wiki as soon as it’s done!
