Mainly, on social media though. After this, we were put into groups, and made a poster about one of the greatest risks. I remember that my groups greatest risks was accidentally downloading malware. This covered the ways in which malware might sneak its way onto your device, and the effects of it being on a device.]]> 2019-05-03 16:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675111 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675220 With this topic we did a fill in the blank assignment which we would use what we know to answer the lines. This was when we got into coding and started learning block coding in scratch. Things like bugs, conditionals, loops, and events were covered when learning the terminology. It was one of those things that is just kind of nice to know. ]]> 2019-05-03 16:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675220 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675343 Folder/File Organization was one of the first things we did in computer tech. We created one main class folder, and then more sub folder for precise things we would be doing in the class. For example, a Word, Excel, and PowerPoint folder. We also watched a video on how to create the folders and the many reasons you may want to consider having organization. I remember one of those reasons being for bills when you are older. Like your water, electricity, and heat bills. We used these folders for the whole semester and they ended up being really useful.

We did an assignment which consisted of writing out number one through ten using binary code. Also, we wrote our names out using binary code. It was interesting to learn because I had never heard of it, but its kind of mathematical and I like math so I enjoyed it. ]]> 2019-05-03 16:36:40 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675386 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675430 Breakouts were a series of mind challenging questions that we had to answer correct in order to "breakout." It was like a game but academic. These were really fun to do because it was almost a race to see who could get done first. Also, it makes you think outside of the box, which I think help out my reasoning skills and problem solving skills more. Overall, the breakouts were a really fun way to end off the weeks because usually they were to be done on Fridays. ]]> 2019-05-03 16:36:46 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675430 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675461 Desmos was a cool mathematical program that we used to do things like graphing and using a coordinate grid to make a ball. This was also like the breakouts where it wasn't really a "computer tech" lesson but more of a fun one to challenge your brain. These were pretty fun too, and overall I liked it. ]]> 2019-05-03 16:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675461 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675514 Graphing calculators was one of the earlier things that we covered in computer tech. We were taught how to use graphing calculators to do complex math problems easily. It was really easy since I already had previous usage with graphing calculators, but I did learn some new and very useful things like the "carrot" that you would use to insert an exponent. ]]> 2019-05-03 16:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675514 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675631 We learned how to write formal emails so that we wouldn't make a fool of ourselves when emailing teachers and those whom we should respect. This was a quick and easy lesson in which we crafted a formal email to send one of our teachers. I appreciated learning this because now I can email my teachers sounding professional and not like a teenager  texting one of my friends.]]> 2019-05-03 16:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675631 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675758 This assignment got us comfortable with the word program. The skills that we learned were font type and size, line spacing, spell checker, header and footer, and inserting footnotes, page breaks, and bullet points. ]]> 2019-05-03 16:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675758 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675810 In this assignment, we made a maze in word. We covered more things in the program like tables and table properties, margins, borders and merging cells, hanging indents, and WordArt.]]> 2019-05-03 16:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356675810 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356685516 This assignment was about learning how to use MLA format. We already knew a lot about word at this time, but this was a good assignment for school overall. Now I can make actually MLA documents rather that the few inserts we use now with MLA. ]]> 2019-05-03 16:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356685516 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356685989 This was the first project that we made in excel. In this project we made a table and learned a few other things like merging cells, sum, formatting cells, and making a bar graph. ]]> 2019-05-03 17:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356685989 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356686133 In this assignment, we collected data and transferred the data to a proper data table. Some more things we learned in this assignment were average, median, mode, using a constant cell reference, sorting data, creating a pie chart, and using multiple sheets. ]]> 2019-05-03 17:01:07 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356686133 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356686669 This PowerPoint project was our introduction to PowerPoint in which we made a slideshow about ourselves and presented it to the class. Some skills we learned in doing this were using "buttons" to redirect you to certain slides, inserting pictures, uploading them, etc.]]> 2019-05-03 17:02:22 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356686669 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356686719 This project was a little introduction into creating animations. This one was basic in just animating one word.]]> 2019-05-03 17:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356686719 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356686831 In this project, we created a full working animation. With the help of using paint, we were able to construct any animation we desired. My animation resembles the game snake. ]]> 2019-05-03 17:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356686831 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356701522 This was our second project on scratch in which we learned to make a game. Our game was a score based game in which mine in particular you would hit a balloon to earn a point.]]> 2019-05-03 17:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356701522 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356701540 This was our third scratch project in which we created a trivia game. We were able to learn new skill which was having our scratch sprite talk and respond to questions that were answered correctly. ]]> 2019-05-03 17:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356701540 99732355 https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356701564 This was our fourth and last scratch project in which we were given challenges to try and complete successfully in a scratch "game". We were given a total of seven challenges that we needed to complete two of. ]]> 2019-05-03 17:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/99732355/f50ttad48ii4/wish/356701564
