Jayg+D



Hey! I'm Jayg and this is my webpage! This shows all the work I've done this year in tech. We basically worked on these webpages all year. Hope you like it!




 * __Word Processing__**

We had to type and copy a paper Mr. Williams gave us. The paper explained how to use //Microsoft Word// and what some buttons do. Some of them were superscripts and subscripts, indented paragraphs, block paragraphs and tables. We learned the different word processing skills in each paragraph of the Word Processing Skills sheet.

One project we did helped our Word Processing and taught us how to use //Google//. We had to answer questions that included “Who wrote Skater Boy” and “What was Jonny Depp’s first movie.” We had to answer each of those questions and copy and paste its URL with our answer. We had to make 10 questions after the questions Mr. Williams gave us.

 * __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.

We had to bring in pictures in our USB to make a collage on //Microsoft Publisher// with pictures of our friends and family. Like in our Word Processing Skills sheet, we were taught again how to insert pictures. It was fun doing this project and looking at other peoples’ pictures. We explored the world in this amazing program called //Google Earth//. We tried to find the places where we lived and evev saw Mr. Williams’ home. There is also this tool called the flight simulator which is really cool, we are in this pane or jet that can fly all around the world. I saw where I lived and even found my house and school in Singapore. It’s a really fun program.

We made a timeline about people, who lived many years ago, back from the Australopithecines to the Homo Sapiens. We turned it into a //jpeg// file and from there, to a //word// file.

We made a diagram about civilizations that were on earth years ago. Some examples are about Homo Erectus and Homo Habilis.

 We used Microsoft Excel to make a graph and a data table. We counted the M&Ms that we got from Mr. W. and compared the colors of each M&M. The graph I made was a column graph. After all that, we got to eat the M&Ms and it tasted really good like usual.

 * //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 used the pictures we got from Mr. W.’s collect folder and used Adobe Photoshop to morph/alter our pictures and mine turned out to be great (that's what I think)! My morphed picture is shown on the top of the page.
