Michelle+F



Hi, I'm Michelle. Welcome to my web page. This web page reflects the work my class and I did in Computers during the course of the year. Hope you enjoy it!



We learned how to apply numbers and bullets in our writing. We also learned how to type, which most people already knew how to do. That was the easiest because there wasn’t much to learn. We learnt how to change the line spacing which came in handy if you sought to appear like you wrote a reduced amount of words, or additional words, or if you were just told to change the spacing. We also learnt how to insert page breaks, which is useful if you want to skip to the next page, but it’s too much of a bother to strike the “Enter” key countless times. We also learned different types of paragraphs, indent paragraphs, block paragraph, and all of those types. What we also learned was how to insert pictures just in case you wanted to make something like a //collage.// We learnt how to make Superscripts and Subscripts. That came in handy if you had math homework to do, and you were required to be capable of inserting algebraic expressions. We learnt a lot in this lesson. [|michellef64wps.docx]
 * __ Word Processing __**

This was what Mr. Williams liked to call “Skater Boy”, although it was actually called “Sk8er boi”. This helped me learn how to search things up because I used to take about 5 minutes just to search up a picture of a dog because I’m never specific with my searching. The search engine //Google// was never very reliable to me, so I think this really helped me rely on the internet. [|michellef64internetquestions.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Internet Searching __**

We used the Track Changes features in //MS Word// to practice editing a word processed document. This was a short lesson, but will still be useful when we start peer editing our non-fiction and fiction writing. [|michellef64MS Word - Writing Process.doc]

 * __ Scrapbook Collage with MS Publisher __**

We made a collage using pictures of friends and family (not to mention yourself), and paste it on //MS Publisher//. You can choose between landscape and portrait for the background paper. This helps you learn about //MS Publisher//, so it’s really useful. The Scrapbook Collage was also really nice to observe after you printed it out.

We explored //Google Earth// and I found out you can locate the tiniest dot on earth. I can see my old house! I also inferred that the //Google Earth// picture was taken from outer space. I don’t think it’s very useful if you want to find something out, except for the fact that you can see places on //Google Earth// that you couldn’t see anywhere else.

Early Man Graphics with //Inspiration// __** We learnt about Early Man, which was a bit useful in Humanities. Something cool about //Inspiration// is that you can insert pictures and create bubbles. Something else is that you can connect those bubbles. Inspiration is useful in many ways, and I totally understand it. I can’t wait to use it again!


 * __ Early Man Chinese Dynasties __**

We learnt about the Chinese Dynasties, and the different types of dynasties and what happened during those dynasties.

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

We wanted to understand the Early Man and Early Civilizations better, so we put everything in a timeline using the program //Timeliner//. //Timeliner// is a program where you can make different timelines. Within the timeline, you can insert pictures.

__** //MS Excel// Spreadsheet on M&M's ** __

We used //MS Excel// to make a spreadsheet of how many M&M’s were in a bag. We then made a graph, also using //MS Excel// to make a graph on our information. We got to choose the design we wanted to use, and in the end, it looked really official. In the end, we got to eat the M&M’s, and Skittles were added in. It was deliciously fun.

__** //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.**

We changed our school photos using //PhotoShop.// We explored the use of //PhotoShop//, and changed our pictures into pictures of weird people and aliens. You could barely tell that the pictures and us were the same person. We looked so different, but some people don’t look different, just weird. REALLY weird.
