Heyy people of the world.. this is my fwantabulous<3 webpage and it shows all my work that I've done during the year 2008-2009. It's full of wonder and adventure :] Hope you enjoy it Joyce

In this project we typed a paper showing the basic and new skills to use in //Microsoft Word//. Some of the things that we learned in this project are different types of paragraphs, numbers and bullets, line spacing etc. Some of the skills I knew already were numbers and bullets, inserting a table and inserting a graphic or picture. Though this wasn’t the most fun project it helped me a lot in different basics of //Microsoft Word.// [|Joyce66 WPS.docx]
 * __ Word Processing __**

In this project/review we had 4 questions to answer using the search engine //Google.// For each question we had to format it in a different way. For example, indented paragraphs, block paragraphs, bullet points etc. In this project I enjoyed watching the **Skater Boy (Sk8er Boi)** music video. [|Joyce66 IntQues.docx]
 * __ Word Processing and Internet Searching __**

We used the Track Changes feature in //MS Word// to practice editing a word processed document. This was a short lesson, but it will be useful when we start peer editing our non-fiction and fiction writing. [|Joyce66 MSWord-Writing Process .doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes __**

In this project we used //MS Publisher// to create a collage with pictures of ourselves, family and friends. We changed our background color and used Word Art to make titles for our collage. We learned how to crop and slant our pictures in different angles. I enjoyed this project a lot.

During some of our free time Mr. Williams showed us how to use //Google Earth//. //Google Earth// is an online mapping program. It is basically a satellite installed in space to see all of our houses, cars, trees, parks etc. I think //Google Earth// is really cool. It is useful sometimes for study and just fun to play around with during your free time. It was really cool to see my house from a satellite. (I even saw my car!) [|Joyce66 GoogleEarth.pdf]

 * __ Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration// __**

In this project we learned how to organize our data in a more “creative” way other than text. We got information about Early Humans from Mr. Williams then copied the data one by one to Inspiration. One interesting thing we could do in inspiration is to insert a graphic to use instead of a “bubble”. __ [|Joyce66_EarlyManisn.jpg]


 * Early Civilization Graphic with //Inspiration//** __

We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations. [|Joyce66_EarlyCiv.ins.jpg]


 * __ Early Man Timeline with //TimeLiner// __**

To understand information about Early Humans we got information and inserted it into //Timeliner.// It was a really interesting way to see and learn the information about Early Humans. I enjoyed this project and especially enjoyed how we got to insert graphics into the timeline and “decorated” it a little. I think //Timeliner// is a really fun and interesting way to record your data. [|Joyce66_Ancient_ManTL.JPG]


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

 We worked on //Microsoft Excel// to graph the number and color of each M&M that Mr. Williams brought in. After the information was all typed up, we made a graph according to the data that we got from the M&Ms. This activity was a fun way to learn how to use //Excel// and the best part is, we got to eat the M&Ms at the end!! [|Joyce66 MnMColor.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. **There is no example because this is confidential; information.**


 * __ Altered Photos with //Photoshop// __**

We used //Photoshop// to morph and play around with our school pictures to make them look wacky and cool! Though I haven’t used Photoshop before this one class taught me a lot on how to use it properly and how to make your picture look great! I enjoyed this project a lot and I even got to make my hair pink and get black wings using //Photoshop//! It was a lot of fun. [|Joyce66_Morph2.jpg]


 * __Other Work__**

 This is some work we have done in Science. We mostley focused on first making charts in Excel then copying them to publication and then describing each chart. This was quite hard to remeber all the steps though it helped me do a lot in publisher. [|Joyce66 SunnyRay'sLab.pdf] [|Joyce66 Weather Maps.pdf] [|Joyce66 CLimateMapsfinal.pdf]
