HELLO... MY NAME IS PINNAPLE... welcome to my "interesting" web page i hope you like my web page because it basicly took 1 whole school year to create. HAHA_ GAH! ... randomness...?

- v ! ( l< y __ Word Processing __ We all typed up a paper that taught us how to do a variety of different things that all involve word processing skills. We learned how to use numbers and bullets properly, line spacing, and how to insert and format a graphic or a picture. We learned how to change formulas with superscripts and subscripts. We weren’t only told how to do these things but we got the chance to try them out so we would understand them more. We were graded on how well we typed the page out and our spelling. I think I did pretty well on that project. __[|Vicky67wps.doc]

Searching __ Our class used the search engine //Google// to answer a series of question given by Mr. Williams. The formatting was basically like a review of the information we had learned in the project before this one. I never even thought about how many golf clubs a golfer was allowed to carry. The answers to some questions were quite interesting to know. [|vicky67IntQues.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.

__Scrapbook Collage with //MS Publisher// __ Our class used //MS Publisher// to make a collage using picture of our family and friend and of course our selves. Our class was taught how to crop and order our pictures to make the collage fit just right onto the page with the right part of each image showing. Everyone also had a choice of rotating their images to give the collage a different design. It was a very enjoyable and interesting project.

//__Google Earth __// Mr. Williams showed us how to explore //Google Earth// the right way. This program allows you to see anything in the galaxy, even other planets. There is a picture taken of the earth and everyplace on earth every few years. I found ISB and my old house. It was very interesting to show other people here the place I lived in in the United States. You can mark places on the earth with little push pin icons and label them. You can also set the program to show you all the amusement parks or roads and much, much more. I had a lot of fun while exploring //Google Earth.// [|vicky67google earth.pdf]

After doing this we learned two different things: how to use //TimeLiner// and about early humans. Mr. Williams taught us how to create a time line and also talked to us a bit about some early humans. I learned a bunch of different interesting facts too. //TimeLiner// is a fun way to create time lines and I enjoyed it because it wasn’t too complicated to understand. [|VICKY67ANCIENTMANTL.JPG] Early Man Graphic with Inspiration __//** //Inspiration// is a very colorful, fun, and interesting program. We used it to learn about early man and made a colorful web. This program has lots of interesting and cool features to use. Mr. Williams did a good job explaining how to use it because all of my friends understood him well and I did too and we didn’t make many mistakes. I enjoyed this activity a lot because it wasn’t too hard and it had lots of things to experiment with.

Our class did the same project as the Early Man Graphics with //Inspiration// except we did it based on early civilizations. **__<span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms __** <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK3; msobookmark: OLE_LINK4; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt;">Our class got to use an //Excel// spreadsheet to make a data table and graph for our M&M’s. We counted the numbers of M&M’s in each bag and the colors of them. We added that information to the graph. I think it was an interesting lesson because now I know how to use //Windows Excel// a lot better than I used to. And I really enjoyed eating the M&M’s afterwards. <span style="font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK3; msobookmark: OLE_LINK4; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt;"> [|Vicky67m&mcolor..xls]

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. <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> There is no example because this is confidential information. <span style="font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">

<span style="font-family: 'Corbel','sans-serif'; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Mr. Williams taught us how to use //PhotoShop// to morph and mess around with our own school pictures. Each of us had to morph and edit 2 photos of ourselves. I even discovered some new things on //PhotoShop//. I had never really used it before so it was a nice experience for me. I really liked this lesson a lot. [|vickyH67morph2.jpg]
