37 Demo
This assignment called for the use of practicing with tables. I had to use a memo format, and make to tables in the document. Technology skills that i practiced with were inserting columns, and rows. I also had to use table shading, and borders for the tables. I feel I learned how to be more comfortable with designing tables, and using the table tools to have different effects for the table. I think what I did best in this document would be inserting columns and rows, and actually putting together each table. Something I could imporve on is using calculations, and my spacing for the table layouts.
Voyager
In the voyager assignment, I practiced with a 3 column newsletter. This called for using a template, figuring out Microsoft Publisher for the first time, and laying out a 3 column newsletter to hold all the information required from pg. 314. I used technological skills, such as knowing where to find the correct template, and laying out a 3 column newsletter which required moving text around and knowing my way around Microsoft Publisher. In this newsletter I learned how to work with columns, using Microsoft Publisher, and formatting. I think what I did best was using my creativity to make all the information layout correctly in 3 columns. On the other hand, something I could improve on is knowing more about the structure of a 3 column newsletter.
Teen USA Payroll
In the Teen USA Payroll assignment, I practiced using Microsoft Excel. This activity included many formating skills, as well as new formulas. I had to fill in all the required information, used autofill, and calculated a gross and net pay by using formulas with parenthesis which followed the order of operations. I also had to find totals, using a formula, and autofill. This assignment also called for color filling certain columns, and answering 4 questions about the activity. By doing this, I learned more about Excel, how to use a formula with parenthesis, and practiced with finding totals. I feel that something I did well was filling all of the information in correctly, and following the formulas accurately. A skill that I can improve upon which probably be coming up with calculations and formulas on my own, as well as working with column totals.
Career Research
This assignment required practice with Microsoft Word and charts, as well as research skills. For each career (8) we chose and researched, there were 12 questions I looked up and answered. I used certain, reliable websites to research the information about each career. After I gathered all of the facts, I formatted a chart into two tables to fit all of the information. Each table consisted of four jobs, and I filled in with information according to the career. For this activity I had to seperate all of jobs into 2 charts to fit and format for everything to fit. I learned about certain factors that would make a good career, and which job I would be interested in, according to my research. I feel that I found all the facts about each job well, but could improve on formatting the chart to hold the text better.
