Storyboard Post

Today in Intro to Tech and Apps class, we had to write a storyboard for a project we had that involved dodgeball. In the group I was in (Alexis Hurst, Paul Roder, Zaire Doss, and Jonathan Tiessen) we chose dodgeball, and we looked up pictures that involved the sport, looked up appropriate songs for the topic, and we looked up inspiring quotes about the topic. We then designed a PowerPoint that outlined the topic. We picked a background, put a song in the background as well (lose yourself by Eminem) and we presented it to the class, it was fun.

Iphoto Project Post

Today in Intro to Tech and Apps class, we did something very fun. We looked up different pictures of letters that made up our names. The letters were supposed to be in nature. We also looked up pictures that described our activities or what we liked to do. I did both my first and last names, and I got pictures of rugby, football, Brian Urlacher, Walter Payton, Call of Duty, and the United States. We then put the pictures in iPhoto, and made a slideshow and put music in the background. The song I used was The Devil Went Down To Georgia by the Charlie Daniels Band.

Mail Merge Blog

Today in Intro to Technology and Applications class we wrote letters about a charity we made up. We made up ten different addresses as well as ten different names in Microsoft Excel. We then used the Mail Merge tool in order to make it easy to address the letter to all of the people (instead of plugging the names in ten times). I thought that it was very fun, and it will help me for resumes and other similar things. The charity I made up was the Save A Soldier charity. It was a auction that raised money to help the troops deployed in the Middle East.

M&M's screenshot

Today in Technology and Applications class we learned how to use Microsoft Excel. Our project was to count up a number of M&M's per color in the bag we were given, then find the total, and then find the average. I had learned this a couple of years ago at my grade school, but it was when I was around 12, and we didn't make a pie chart like what we did today. We did however, use Excel on a Mac. I thought the project was fun, I got to know my table partners better, and the M&M's were delicious.

REAL 3/14 assignment

I think that Tech is a very good and necessary class. I am looking forward to learning how to use certain types of applications. I think I will enjoy this class. I think that I am okay with computers, but there is definitely people much better than I am. I want to learn much more about computers and I want to learn many other new things as well. The people in this class seem nice, and I know a lot about them. I have many friends in this class. I am looking forward to the the projects we will be doing.
