This week we only have class on Tuesday - we are out Thursday for Thanksgiving break! Today we have to turn in our blogs, our reflective journal essay, our Movie Maker assignment, and our Excel exercises (phew). I think that my Movie Maker assignment turned out pretty well. I had fun with it, and I continued my space theme that I've been using all semester. I had never uploaded anything to YouTube before, so I think that doing this assignment helped introduce me to that. I had also never made anything with Movie Maker, which can be a fun tool to make presentations for the class. I know that my grandmother is a college professor (at UAH) who has an online class. For this, she has to make movies of herself giving the lectures to give to the students. Although I am not teaching at a college level, I can see how this would be especially useful in that sense.
The excel exercises seemed very easy...but I spent an entire school year in 7th grade in Keyboarding class, where we learned how to type and how to use basic operating programs like Word and Excel. So I am already very familiar with functions, etc. I also help my parents with their checking system in Excel. My mom is not very computer-savvy, so I formatted the spreadsheet for her so that she only has to plug in the numbers and it calculates everything for her every month.
