Hey this is Greg, welcome to my OSMNESS WEB PAGE Sincerely yours, Greg



==  We typed a paper that explained how to do many things in word processing. We learned about numbers and bullets, line spacing, how to insert and format a graphic or picture. We also learned about how to change formulas with superscripts and subscripts. I knew how to do most of the skills, but liked the superscripts and subscripts the most. I was not enrolled in ISB yet.  

We used the search engine //Google// to research the answers to four questions. We then formatted the answers into a //MS Word// document. The formatting was a review of the information that we learned in the last project. I really dis-like Avril Lavigne. [|Gregory 6-8 int ques.doc]

 * __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. [|Gregory 6-8 MS Word - Writing Process.doc]

We used //MS Publisher// to make a collage, using pictures of our family, friends and ourselves. We learned how to insert and format pictures. We also learned how to crop and order our photos and some aspects of balance and design. This was a fun project. [|gregory6-8scrapbook.jpg]
 * __ Scrapbook Collage with //MS Publisher// __**

We explored on the really cool program //Google Earth//. //Google Earth// is an online mapping program that is much more. //Google Earth// allows you to find anything; houses, parks, government buildings, Starbucks Coffee shops and much more, using satellite pictures. Mr. Williams showed us his house in Florida and Capital Paradise and ISB in Beijing. Later, I found my house in Beijing. This was really fun. [|Gregory6-8googleearth.pdf]

To better understand the information about Early Man and Early Civilizations, we put the information into a timeline, using //TimeLiner//. This sequential order of our information is a graphic and I also placed pictures of early man into my timeline. [|Gregory6-8_Early_Man_TL.JPG]

We did the same project using //Timeliner// as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations. [|Gregory6-8_Early_Civ_Ins.jpg]
 * //__ Early Civilization Graphic with Inspiration __//**

We looked at information about early man and a way to organize that information as a graphic. One of the really neat things about Inspiration is that it will take a graphic and create an outline of the information. I can use that outline to write a report on my information. I added pictures to my graphic for representation of my research. [|Gregory6-8_Early_Civ_Ins.jpg]

We used an //Excel// spreadsheet to make a graph and a chart. We counted all the M&Ms and compared the two different types, peanuts and plain. Then we made it all colorful and ate them. [|Gregory6-8 M&M'sColorPossibilities.xls]

 * //__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 informati on.

We found our school pictures and made them look like devils and etc. We will be putting these on our web page so check them out.
