**__Word Processing__**

We typed a long paper on basic skills and formatting your work such as adding numbers and bullets, line spacing, how to insert and format a graphic or picture. It was a really fun project (except there was a lot of typing! :)

This was a project testing our internet skills and using //Google// search engine. It was really fun to find out such interesting things about the topic that you never knew about. We searched on topics such as, Who wrote skater boy? What was Johnny Depp’s first movie? And how many golf clubs can there be in a golf bag.

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 took pictures of us and our friends and used //Microsoft Publisher// to make a collage of our life. We practiced using //Microsoft Publisher// and formatting.

We used //Google Earth// today. //Google Earth// is a program that took pictures from a satellite in outer space and put them in this program so you can like find your favorite places, view traffic, and other really fun stuff.

To better clarify our information on early man, we made a time line using //TimeLiner.// Then we added graphics and saved it as a **//jpeg//** file and a word file. Now I have learned about early man and how to use //TimeLiner.//

Today we used inspiration to make an outline and a web about early man. We did the same thing as the TimeLiner; we saved it as a jpeg and a word file.

**__MS Excel__** We worked on //Microsoft Excel// to graph M&M’s. It was really cool. Our graphs were really colorful, though mine was quite dull compared to other people’s. In the end we got to eat them, that was the coolest part. [|Brandon 68 M&M color.xlsx]

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 worked on our school photos today with Photoshop. They were really cool after we morphed them and now they get to be displayed on our web wiki in May.
