Vanessa 6-3 Web Page Description December 12, 2008

** Web Page Description ** In word processing, Mr. Williams explained to us how to use many things in the word document. We used //Microsoft Word// in this project. We learned about numbers and bullets, line spacing, how to insert and format a graphic or picture, and superscripts and subscripts. I learned many things from this project, but I liked formatting a graphic or picture the most. [|Vanessa 6-3 WPS.doc]

We used the internet search engine //Google// to research the answers to four questions. Then we typed our answers into a //MS Word// document. We had to format the answers which we learned last class.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. [|Vanessa 6-3 IntQues.doc]

We used //MS Publisher// to make a collage with pictures of our family, friends and ourselves. We learned how to format and insert pictures. And we learned order and crop our photos, we also did some aspects of balance and design. I really liked this project. [|Vanessa_6-3_collage.jpg]

We got to explore //Google Earth//. //Google Earth// allows you to do many things including finding houses, roads, highways, stores, shops, and much more. //Google Earth// has these capabilities because the program uses satellites to take pictures. I even found my house in America! I love //Google Earth//! [|Vanessa 6-3 google earth.pdf]

I looked at some information about early man and some about Lucy to put our information as a graphic. It’s really cool because the make a graphic of whatever you want it to and makes an outline of the information. I used the program to write a paragraph about the information I had about early man.

I used the program //Inspiration// and put information about the Chinese Dynasties and put most of my Confucius information there too. [|Vanessa_6-3_Chinese_Dynasties_ins.jpg]

I used the program //TimeLiner// to put my early man information into a cool timeline. I used the chronological order to put the early man information in to let it make sense. After that I put some early man pictures on the timeline. Mr. Williams bought us M&M’s to make an observation //MS Excel// Spreadsheet Graph on the number and colors of the M&M’s. We put lots of information about the colors of the M&M’s in the spreadsheet graph. [|Vanessa_6-3_ANCIENT_MAN_TL.JPG]

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.

I learned how to “morph” myself to look funny and cool. I learned a lot about //Adobe Photoshop//’s tools and how to edit our pictures there. At the end of the class, I “morphed” myself into a green faced alien with little green dots on my head. I really liked playing with //Adobe Photoshop.// [|Vanessa_6-3_Morph.jpg]
