WOW I learned alot this week in technology class!

So this week in technology class was another great week of learning many new and important things. I never realized how much i did not know about technology, there is so much out there to know about computers it is amazing. We started out the week by making our dream computers using Microsoft Word! My dream computer was an iMac, of course because they are simply the best computers. Doing my dream computer, I learned some of the "secrets" that there is on word. I learned how to use the painter that paints all of your word the same font and color without having to highlight them. That was nice to know because it will help save a lot of time. I also got a refresher of how to insert pictures and text into word which is always a good reminder. This will help me in my classroom, to write notes using word to parents, or simply just to make assignments for my children in the classroom. It is good to know these things so that I can make my assignments with lots of pictures, and fun colorful text. Making it more interesting for the children to look at, and want to do the assignment. I also had the chance to become familiar with Excel. I had never really used Excel before so I learned a lot. With Excel we picked out our favorite olympic event which mine is swimming because of beautiful Michael Phelps. We put down the toal of medals won, and made a pie chart using these numbers. It was so cool to learn how to make a pie chart. This will be a great tool to use in my classroom, I can do grades on there, or I can put in kids math scores in for example then make a pie chart and see how well the children are doing in math, or any other subject. It was so much fun to learn. I am enjoying learning so much, and can't wait to learn more!
