Linnea+C



Hi! This is Linneas web page. Here you can find some of the work that we have done in computerclass this year! I hope you like it! From Linnea!



 In Word Processing we learned how to write in proper format, numbers and bullets, line spacing and inserting graphics. I knew how to insert numbers and bullets but the proper formatting and to line the text was a bit harder. [|Linnea65WPS.doc]

 We used Google to answer four questions, and then we had to write either an indented paragraph or a block paragraph to answer the questions in proper formatting on //MS Word.// Some questions were harder than other. [|Linnea65IntQues.doc]
 * __ Word Processing and Internet Searching __**

We used Track Changes featured 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.

  We used //MS Publisher// to make a collage where we inserted pictures of our family, pets and close friends and made a colorful collage about yourself and your family. It was fun to make the collage and to collect different photos to make it look colorful.

  We explored on the really cool program //Google Earth. Google Earth// is an online mapping program that is much more. //Google Earth// allows you to find anything; houses, parks, government buildings, Starbucks Coffee shops and much more, using satellite pictures. Mr. Williams showed us his house in Florida and Capital Paradise and ISB Beijing. Later, I found my house in Beijing. This was really fun. [|Linnea65GoogleEarth.pdf]

Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration// __**

We looked at some information about early man, and Mr. Williams showed us a way to organize that information as a graphic. I added some pictures to my graphic to make it look more colorful and lively. [|Linnea65EarlyManINS.jpg]

We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations. [|Linnea65EarlyCivINS.jpg]

We put all of the information about early man in a time line to make it easier to see which early humans lived in what time period. The time line could get a bit tight at some places but otherwise it was easy to see the information. [|LINNEA65ANCIENTMANTL.JPG]

**__ MS Excel Spreadsheet Graph on M&Ms __**  We opened an //Excel// spreadsheet to create a data table and a graph. We counted the different colors and the number of colors, in a peanut and a plain M&Ms bag. To later compare them we each made our own graph. We also made a column graph and formatted it to look really colorful. Then we got to eat the M&Ms. It was really yummy! [|Linnea65MSWord-WritingProcess.doc] **__

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 worked with our individual school pictures and //PhotoShop// to “morph” our photos. We got to make at least two pictures in //PhotoShop// and save it as a JPG. At the end we got to look at what other people had made of their photo. You will get to see “me” on my web site this spring.

During humanities and science we worked on a Hash Environment project. Each student got to choose a place and create a newsletter that had the information aresearch biologist would need to know in order to visit that place.
