We are off on a new adventure!

I hope you all are healthy. Know that you are in my prayers! As we navigate this new situation, you will learn how to use the Internet! What an adventure we are taking! I thought you might enjoy some activities using the skills we've learned in class! Reach out to me with any questions or concerns!  But remember, there are no grades in specials during the remote learning experience! But you can learn while having fun and taking a break from your olther classes.  Let me know what you are doing and how you like this computer learning stuff!

I'd love to hear from you! Let me know how you are doing!

WEEK OF MAY 11

Have you noticed that I link words all the the time to web pages and documents?  These are called hyperlinks.  You can make them too!  Try it!

• Find a web page you like
• Copy the web address (right click on the web address and click copy)
• Open a Word or Excel file; you can use this with Keynote, Pages, Google Docs etc but the commands will be in a different location
• Highlight a word.
• Right click on the word and on the menu find the word LINK
• Click on LInk
• In the box marked address, right click paste

Now you have a hyperlinked word!  You can select pictures and hyperlink pictures the same way. (Instead of highlighting word, click on picture) Give it a try!

WEEK OF MAY 4

Happy Mother's Day-May 10, 2020!

Let's make a Mother's Day card using MS Word--or any word processor.  I would rate my video as a B-Movie (meaning, not great!) because I had so many interruptions! I hope you will muddle through it and make a beautiful card for your Mom-or whoever provides that love and support in your family! No every  "Mom" has to be a  "Mom"; it could be an aunt, uncle,  sister, brother, grandmother, grandad, or you dad!  Honor that person that loves and cares for you!

I have posted three files to help you: a video, written instructions, and a sample card:

So one link will show you the steps to use Keynote, the other will list those steps! Use together for a complete less on Keynote.  Good Luck on making your presentation. I would love to see your work! Have your parents send through Email.

WEEK OF APRIL 6
 

Settling into this Remote learning stuff yet?  I thought I would enjoy skipping out on classes! But when you are supposed to stay away from school, it isn't as much fun! Skipping with permission-not good!  Are you ready for another activity? How about building a graph?  Graphs can be found on any spreadsheet program, but the commands will be in different places. Here are some instructions, based on MS Excel, for building a database on an Excel worksheet and then graphing that information.  

For Excel: Watch the first 3 videos to make a line graph
For Google Doc (Sheets):  Here is a quick tutorial video
