You are sleeping... You are dreaming...You dream of youself walking on clouds... You dream of yourself in the sky. You step on the wrong cloud, and fall gently down, down, down to a computer and this webpage opens automatically. Here you are, in my webpage. Congrats you haven't gotten injured or died during the fall.

We copied the content of a paper that Mr. Williams gave us and learned how to use bullet points, block paragraphs, inserting graphics and pictures, sub-scripts and super-scripts, and lastly how to add in tables. Most of the things I already learned but it was good to have a review once in a while or you’ll forget. [|EmilyC62WPS.doc]

During the project our goal is to answer the questions on //MS Word// that Mr. Williams created. We had to use //Google// to search for the information. When we wrote down the answers we had to use our skills we learned on our last project; Word Processing Skills. The project was okay; I learned some facts about the world which is good enough for me.

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. [|EmilyC62 - Writing Process.doc]

We used //MS publisher// to make a collage of our friends, family, classmates, and our selves. During the process we learned how to bring pictures up front and bring pictures to the back which we call ordering pictures. We also learned how to crop the picture! I had fun moving pictures around and seeing which one is the best and which spot. [|EmilyC62_Collage.jpg]

My first time using //Google Earth// was during this project, the program was really cool! We got to look around the world marking places we had been or lived! //Google Earth// was very detailed even though it hasn’t updated since summer, but you can see the parks, streets, trash cans, parks, stores like Starbucks and Mc Donald, you can see everything! Mr. Williams showed us how to work //Google Earth// by showing us his house and where he played golf! //Google Earth// is really an amazing program. [|EmilyC62 Google Earth.pdf]

Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration// __** We made an //Inspiration// file from the information Mr. Williams gave us by copy and pasting it in our //Inspiration// file while using ‘rapid fire’ at the same time. During this mini project I learned to use ‘rapid fire’, creating bubbles, changing colors, and finally inserting graphics. This project was pretty interesting because I learned to use new buttons on //Inspiration//. [|EmilyC62_Early_Man_Ins.jpg]

Early Civilization Graphic with //Inspiration// __** We did the same project as the Early Man Graphic with //Inspiration//, but used information about early civilizations.

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

In this mini project Mr. Williams gave us information in chronological order on Early Man, so we could paste it in our //TimeLiner// document. During this mini project I learned to paste in information quickly which saved a lot of time. In this project we also inserted graphics making the //TimeLiner// document more colorful. I have used //TimeLiner// before in 5th grade so it wasn’t a big surprise for me. [|EMILYC62_ANCIENT_MAN_TL.JPG]**

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

During this lesson we used //MS Excel// to make a spreadsheet graph on the number of M&Ms in two bags. We made a table with the color of M&Ms, and then transferred the data onto a column graph; afterwards we got to decorate the graph. In this project I learned how to use //MS Excel// (which I have never used before) and got to eat M&Ms! [|EmilyC62 M&M Color.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 updated our own personal information.   **There is no example because this is confidential information.**

I thought this lesson was very amusing because I got to watch all the members of my class use //PhotoShop// to distort their photos. This was also the first time I used //PhotoShop,// I learned how to make myself look like a monster in this class period. [|EmilyC62_Morph1.jpg]
