For the Word Processing lesson, we copied a paper that Mr.Williams made, we learned about lots of information that we could do on //Microsoft Word// like picture formatting and the different types of paragraphs. I learned a lot of stuff from this lesson and now I know many of the functions on //Microsoft Word.// All of this stuff was very helpful because it was the first time using //Microsoft 2007// and I didn’t know all the functions on it.

For the Internet Questions lesson, Mr.Williams gave us each a sheet with a few questions to answer, we had to go on the //Internet Explorer// and find the answer to each question, all of the questions were very easy to answer because of the search engines, I learned how to shorten the searches by using the plus sign instead of typing more words than necessary.

We used the Track Changes feature in //Microsoft Word 2007// to practice a processed document this was a short lesson, but will be useful when we start peer editing our non-fiction and fiction writing. [|Simon64MS Word - Writing Process.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes __**

For the Scrapbook Collage lesson, we brought in pictures of us and used //Microsoft Publisher// to make a collage; we organized pictures around and also made a good background for the collage. Finally we printed it and let Mr.Williams grade it. I really liked this lesson because it was fun using //Microsoft Publisher.// FILE IS LOST

For the //Google Earth// lesson, we used //Google Earth// and learned a lot of cool information like how to pinpoint places and how to measure the distance from two places. I learned a lot of stuff that I didn’t know about //Google Earth//, I think that this lesson was the best one yet because I love using //Google Earth//, and now that I know more about it, I can do a lot more on //Google Earth.// I will be able to have more fun. I especially liked the Flight Simulator [|Simon64google earth.pdf]

 For this Lesson, We used the //Timeliner// to organize the early man data; we learned about the different functions of //Timerliner// and also added a graphic picture of early man tools into our data. It was a fun but tiring lesson, especially the part where we had to organize all the data in order. [|SIMON64ANCIENTMANCHINA.TL5]

Early man Graphic with //Inspiration// __** For this lesson, we copied the data one by one from a word document from Mr.Williams folder into //Inspiration//, we used the Rapidfire button to make it easier for us, after we had copied the main points of Early man, we used the Create button to make some bubbles to organize the data. After we had organized the data, we color coded the different data and changed the main idea into a Early man Picture. This was a fun lesson, we learned a lot about //Inspiration// [|Simon64Early_ManIns.jpg] Chinese Dynasties Graphic and Inspiration __** We did the exact thing with the Early man project but this time we used the information from the Chinese dynasties.

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

We worked with an //Excel// spreadsheet to create a data table and a graph. We counted the number of M&Ms in each color for peanut and plain. I made a column graph and then changed the color and also added a chart to it! Finally we got to eat the M&Ms. Yum! Yum! [|Simon64m&mcolor.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 also updated our own personal information.

  **There is no example because this is confidential information.**

We worked without school pictures on Photoshop to alter our looks, we got use liquefy and lots of other cool tools that enabled our photo to look very weird. You will get to see “me” on my web site this spring. [|Simon64Morph.jpg]
