Lea+Z

Hello my name is Lea. In school at computer class, we learned many tips by doing the stuff below. I hope you enjoy my work, Lea [[image:Lea_6-8_morph.jpg width="196" height="236"]]
==== **__Word Processing__** Our first assignment was to learn how to use //Microsoft Office Word 2007//. We learned that by typing and reading a sheet that Mr. Williams gave to us. One thing that I learned was what an indented paragraph is. I didn’t really like to type the sheet up and I knew most of the things that he teached us but I liked it too because I learned new things that are cool like you can write superscripts and subscripts on computer. ====

====**__ Word Processing and Internet Searching __** Mr. Williams gave us four questions to search on //Google// and be more familiar with it, but I knew how to use //Google//. Even though I knew how to use //Google// I still learned new things by the questions like who wrote the song __Sk8ter Boi__. ====

====**__ Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes __** 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. ==== ====__ [|Lea 6-8 MS Word - Writing Process.doc] **Scrapbook Collage with //MS Publisher//** __ In computer class I also became more familiar with //Microsoft Publisher// by doing a collage (a bunch of pictures on a piece of paper). I didn’t have a lot of pictures of me because my SD card suddenly froze and I lost all my pictures that I didn’t copy onto a disk but the good thing is that I have lots of pets so I took pictures of them and stuck it on my collage. I only have about 3 pictures of me on the collage. ====

====**//__ Google Earth __//** //Google Earth// is an awesome program that allows you to see the whole world and it’s every single detail. I found my house in Montreal and Beijing and then, I putted a pin on them so it’s easy to find them. ====

====**//__ Timeliner __//** //Timeliner// is a program that helps you make timelines in different formats. It’s really simple to use. With this program I was able to make timelines of the evolution of humans. ====

====Inspiration //Inspiration// is a program too, it helps you make diagrams, family trees and much more things. With this program, at school, I made diagrams about early humans that we learned in humanities. It was pretty simple to use //Inspiration//. ==== ====[|Lea_6-8_Early_civilisations.ins.jpg] [|Lea_6-8_Early_man.ins.jpg]====

__MS Excel__ Spreadsheet Graphics on M&Ms In computer class we opened two packs of M&M’s (one with peanuts and one without peanuts) and we counted the number of colors of M&M’s in each pack. We wrote the results in a Microsoft excel sheet. After we finished our work we ate the M&M’s. It was delicious. ======

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.====
