Presentation Skills

Powerpoint are very populary used by all types of people because of its ability to present information in a more detailed way. Powerpoint has the ability to take all kinds of information and organize it so that it looks interesting and understanding to learn. Powerpoint makes learning new information more interesting with the pictures, sound, colors, designs that you can use. But you have to carefully use them to get the best advantage, because if you add too much it can be really distracting and make take away from the presentation. You also have to be aware of your auidence when it comes to making an a presentation. Your presentation has to be appropriate for your viewers. For example, if your audience consists of 5 year olds you can add an appropriate amount of animations and sounds to grab a hold of their attention. But if your audience consists of Business Men, you can't do too much of that because you have to make it simple and not to flashy or noisy. You have to base your presentation based on your audience.

Formulas and Functions

Formulas were created and used to make math more easier. There are many different formulas for many different situations that you can think of. But finding which formula to use and actually solving the problem takes time, but you can use Excel and it will help make your life more easier. Formulas are used for calculating numbers, both big and small. Excel already has built in formulas in the program, all you have to do is plug in the numbers and everything is taken care of. If formulas were not created, finding out the square root of a number that is not perfect will take a lot of time and patience.

Charts, Graphs, and Diagrams

Spreadsheets and Graphs are used for analyzing and comparing data. They help make data mor understandable and more interesting to look at. Different types of graphs are used because there are many different type of  data. It all depends on what the data is and what it is talking about. You can use any of these type of charts if they go hand in hand with your present data. Charts, graphs and diagrams are also used to analyze and compare data visually. It is easier to read charts than try to read text data. An example of how i would use charts outside of school is a Survey of your favorite foods. I would go off and survey 100 studenst from each grade in HHS. After i get my results, i would take my data and put it in a Pie Graph.

My State Presentation


Lesson 4 Reflection- MLA Reports

In the lesson 4 MLA Reports lesson we learned how to make regular documents into school and business appropiate documents. We learned that we had to use a heading, headers and footnotes, page numbers to make life a little easier for those who have to read the documents given to them. I never used headers and footnotes before, and now that i know how to use it, i will use it to create documents. When you are doing a research paper and you get information from websites, journals and books, you have to give whoever wrote or produced the information, credit for what they did. It's the authors works not yours, so you have to create a citation and make a work cited bibliography. If you choose not to do this, you will be accused of plagarizing. This type of document formatting is used for many different purposes and i will continue to use this futher for eductational purposes.

Lesson 3 Reflection

Mail Merge is a tool that is provided by Microsoft. This tool is used to mass produce different letters and other documents all at one time. I learned that you can make a specific amount of letters and documents by just using 5 easy quick steps. you first have to set up the main document. then you connect the document to a data source. You type what you have to for example, the companies name, name of the person and so on and so forth. Then process the list of recipients or items. You then add the placeholders in the document in the designated places that you would like them to be. Then you finally preview and complete the merge. You just finished creating multiple letters in a small amount of time. Its as simple as that.

Mail Merge

Mail merge is a tool used in microsft word that allows you to make letters, envelopes mailing labels and other documents so that they appear to be personalized. The purpose of mail merge is to make life more easier by making more than one document at a faster pace. Many companies and individuals use mail merge to help them get their messages and letters done more quicker. It is also a good use when someone has an important task to mae that has a deadline and then that person realizes that they are behind their work. that individual has 10 letters to send out in a given time. So the person would use this because it would cut the time in half that it would normaly take to do so. If we didn't have mail merge, making documents will take longer.

Shortcut Commands

Technology has advanced in ways that we never thought was possible, but all that was said and done when people came up with ways to make our lives eaiser for us. Take the computer mouse for instance, the mouse is a pointing device used to click and open documents, files, websites, and other options provided by the computer. Everyday computer users complained that the mouse slows down the process of getting documents and other important things done. Thats when shortcut commands were introduced. It eliminates the common use of the mouse when you use microsft word so that you can get tasks done more easier and quicker.

The Word Window

Before there was Microsoft Windows there was a program that people used that you can call notepad or wordpad. It was probably very difficult for people to use because microsoft then came out with microsoft word. when microsoft first came out it was unorgianized, which means that it was difficult for people to write documents quickly. Microsoft word slowly started advancing as the years went by. The word window today in the year of 2011 it has been added with more details, provides more options so you can have a document the way you desire it to be. Microsoft word advanced its formatting techniques. Its now easier to use because it has been added with all this new technology.
