**__ Web Page Descriptions __**

In this assignment we learned how to do many things in word processing. We learned about numbers and bullets, keyboard skills, page breaks, paragraphs, inserting graphics and pictures, superscripts and subscripts and lastly, inserting a table. I really liked inserting a picture since we got to pick a random picture that we liked, and we learned how to not cut “Fluffy’s” head off when printing.

 * __Word Processing and Internet Searching__**

In this assignment, we had a bunch of questions and we went on //Google// to figure out the answers to these questions. After we got the answers, we typed them up on a //Microsoft Word// document and formatted the answers to different styles like bullets, numbering, block paragraphs, and indented paragraphs. I really liked this project since I got a perfect score, and I like typing so it was kind of easy.


 * __Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes__**

In this assignment, we used the Track Changes feature on a //Microsoft Word// Document to practice editing a word processed document. This was a short lesson, but will be useful when we start peer editing in humanities class and other writing classes.

In this assignment, we got a “billion” pictures from home and then with //Microsoft Publisher// we put them together on one sheet of paper. We had to rotate and move a lot of pictures so that no one’s head would be “cut off”. I liked this assignment since Mr. Williams often said something like, “Oops, cut Scotty’s head off!” when showing us an example.

 * //__Google Earth__//**

We explored a program called //Google Earth. Google Earth// is a program in which that you can look all over the earth. You can even pinpoint your own house! In //Google Earth// there is also a fun game which is a flight simulator. Another amazing thing about //Google Earth// is you can even look for a Mc Donalds near you! //Google Earth’s// images are satellite pictures, so they are very cool! I liked this assignment since Mr. Williams allowed us to play with the flight simulator after we pinpointed our houses. The only thing I do not like about //Google Earth// is its pictures are not updated very often.


 * __Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//__**

We used a program called //Inspiration// and in it you can make all kinds of “stuff”. You can make a diagram with shapes for each topic you want to write about, or you can make an outline based on your diagram. This project was about our early ancestors and some interesting facts about them. Anyways, after we made our diagrams, we converted them to //a jpg// file then we pasted the //jpg// file into a //Microsoft Word// Document so that we could open the file from three different types of programs. I liked this project, because we plenty of time to personalize our diagrams by choosing the colors for the shapes. [|Taylor_66_EarlyManIns.jpg]


 * __Early Civilization Graphic with //Inspiration//__**

We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations. [|Taylor_66_EarlyCivIns.jpg]


 * __Early Man Timeline with //TimeLiner//__**

In this project, we used the same kind of information we used in the Early Man Graphic but with a program called //Timeliner//. With //Timeliner// you can make a time line on absolutely anything you want to. The //Timeliner// project helped us better understand all of the important things that our early ancestors did, because the time line we made had the estimated date that everything happened. I liked this project because after Mr. Williams told us what to do we got do the project all on our own. [|Taylor_66_AncientManTL.JPG]


 * //__MS Excel__// __Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms__**

In this project, we used //Microsoft Excel// to create a data table and a graph. In the table and graph we put in the number of peanut and plain M&Ms that Mr. Williams had at that time (That weren’t eaten). I made a graph that had many columns in it, and then I formatted it by putting a background color on it and making it look good. Finally, we got to eat the M&Ms! Yay!


 * //__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.**


 * __Altered Photos with //PhotoShop//__**

In this project, we used our school pictures and //Adobe Photoshop// to change, or in other words, “morph”, our pictures. At the end we had a classroom of funny, weird, and crazy pictures of our classmates. I really liked this project because it was just really fun! You will get to see “me” on my website this spring.
