   Hello everyone, This is a sample of some the work i did this year. I hope you like it.. =]

-becca:) __  Word Processing  __   Our first project in computer class was where we typed up a piece of paper on //MS Word// explaining 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 liked putting the pictures and working with different bullet points. [|Rebecca68 WPS.doc] 

__Word Processing and Internet Settings __ We used the //Google// search engine to answer four questions. Then we used the Word Processing Skills that we learned last class to format the answers into //MS Word// document. It was fun and interesting to find out the answers to the questions.

__Word Processing and Editing with Track Changes __ <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[|Rebecca68 MS Word-Writing Process.doc]

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">__<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">Scrapbook Collage with //MS Publisher// __ <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We used //MS Publisher// to make a collage of ourselves, family, and friends. I learned how to insert photos, resize and format the pictures. I also learned how to order and crop pictures. It was a very fun project and I really liked the final product.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">//__Google__// __Earth__ <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We explored the many features available on //Google Earth//. //Google Earth// is an online mapping program that can allow you to find the nearest gas stations, McDonalds, Starbucks, it even allows you to site see on different parts of the world, all using satellite pictures. Later, I found my house in Beijing and also my old school in Taiwan. //Google Earth// is very fun and interesting! [|Rebecca68 GoogleEarth.pdf]

__ <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">Early Man Timeline with //Timeliner// __ <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We put information about Early Man and Early Civilization into a timeline using //Timeliner//. This shows our information in chronological order; we also put some graphics in the timeline to make it look better. [|REBECCA68_ANCIENTMAN_TL.JPG]

__<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">Early Man Graphics with //Inspiration// __ <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We put information about Early Man into Inspiration that organizes all the information as a graphic. The real cool thing about Inspiration is that it produces all the info in a web design, I added a picture to represent the topic of the info better. <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[|Rebecca68_EarlyMan_INS.jpg]

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">__<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">Early Civilization with //Inspiration// __ <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations.

__<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">//MS Excel// Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms __ <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK3; msobookmark: OLE_LINK4;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We used //Excel// to create a data table and a graph. We counted two packs of M&Ms of both peanut and plain and compared the numbers in the graph. I made a column graph and formatted it to look really nice. //Excel// is so easy to use. Then we even got to eat the M&Ms! [|Rebecca68 M&M Color.xls]

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">//__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.**

It was really fun to make ourselves look really weird, and I had lots of fun.
