Week 6 Project Reflection

The first three projects required for this class entailed the use of Microsoft Word Processor, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Excel. Overall given my previous experience using these programs the assignments were not overly difficult and very enjoyable to complete. I ran into no major problems when completing the projects as I finished and completed them ahead of schedule.

The first project, which included the use of Word, required me to make a parents flyer for a meeting which I would be holding. I did not include any true information on it, but the template which I learned how to access on Word is going to allow me to easily complete professional looking flyers in the future.

The second project had me working with the Excel program where I completed a break down of 5 grades from this previous semester. While I used real grades from this school year, I did not use the student’s name. Instead I used characters from my favorite TV show, The Office. At times I had a difficulty making the graphs which were required, but after a little work I was able to figure it out and get the graphs the way I wanted them.

The final project had me complete a PowerPoint review for my students. I had a short review on the 50 states and their capitals. This was especially beneficial because I was able to use this exact power point in my class for review with my students. I originally had a difficult time understanding how to link all the slides together, but after about 20 minutes of searching around I figured out the problem and the rest of the assignment was quite easy. Overall, all three assignments could be beneficial for any teacher looking for betters ways to contact parents, break down grades, and review with students.
