Week 7

This week we finished up our internet awareness project it was fun coming up with ideas and making my own flyer and brochure gave me a little bit of an idea of what it will be like when I am actually a teacher. We have only two more classes left I cannot believe it time has flown by, but I have completely enjoyed this course to the fullest and will miss it. I am a bit nervous for the final project though. I did have a question would you like us to make the entire slide show a game like are you smarter than a 5th grader or something or is was that just an idea and we can do what we want? I just was not sure if we were to have a game in our slide show if that would be the entire project or if we needed to do more?

Week 6

I completely enjoyed working with Picasa I have never used any type of program that dealt with pictures. It was really enjoyable to play with the pictures I had taken with my friends on our hike it was fun to see what I could do with each one. A lot of the pictures looked a lot better after using the different effects you can really make the picture look completely different. Being not very familiar with powerpoint these activities and assignments have been good for me to get a feel of powerpoint and what can be done with it. The final is going to be fun, but challenging as I am still learning how powerpoint works, but I am excited for it.

Week 5

Learning power point has been a lot of fun, but challenging at the same time. I am not familiar with power point and so it has been difficult to understand how to use the cool effects. I was working on a project in power point and could not figure out how to do something, I was watching my 10 year old nephew at the time and asked if he knew how to do it, he came over and showed me exactly what to do in the matter of 2 minutes I was so amazed. I cannot believe how much he knew about power point, apparently instead of playing games on the computer he plays with power point it was very helpful to me that he loves it so much. I have enjoyed the book "50 power point activities" it is a easy to understand and takes you step by step on how to finish an activity which is really nice for us new beginners. I continue learning new skills that will benefit me in the future as a student and a person, I look forward to the next couple of weeks of this course.
