Ed tech learning!

Wow, word processing has really been a challenge, the biggest challenge I have completed was surprisingly the buisness card. For homework, I completed my pamphlet. This was easy yet I did run into a few difficulties which I had to find out how to solve. Also, I started my magazine which I decided to attempt to do on my iPad on the Pages word processing app. This at first went really well, but I have run into some problems which I cannot figure out. Hopefully something will work! :)

Word processing learning!

At the beginning of the year, I thought that I knew everything there is to know about Microsoft word. Boy was I wrong. I found it incredibly challenging make a business card and invitation from scratch. One thing I never knew was even possible was to resize the page, which I still haven't quite figured out to work with my business card. However I did manage to make my buisness card using a picture, editing it so that it so that it didn't even look like it self anymore, and inserting text box and shapes. This word processing section of Ed tech sure is going to challenge me more than I originally thought.

New Tech Learning

Something new I have learned in tech is how to find templates for google spreadsheets. There are a variety of templates that range from budgets to schedules and a lot more. You can do pretty much anything with the if you know how. Knowing how is the step I am in right now. I know what I want to do and I tried to find a way to do it but I have pretty much no experiene with spreadsheets. Hoping that I will be able to figure it out in class.

How to Duplicate a Spread Sheet

The newest thing I have learned on spread sheets is that if you want to duplicate someone's spreadsheet. All you have to do is hit File at the top of google docs, click "Make a Copy" and re title it as your own spreadsheet. Then you can move it into the HS logs folder! :)

What I learned in Ed tech on 10/11

Something new that I have learned in Ed Tech last class was how to move a chart from one spread sheet to another. This was a bit difficult, because I wanted to move all of the data so that I could edit right on the other spread sheet. Instead I had to save my chart as an image and move it to the other spread sheet.

Ed Tech Learning!

Something new I have learned is how to make a chart on spread sheet and how to post it on my blog! It was a bit confusing at first because I would click that I wanted to use a certain example chart and then a page would pop-up with a completely different chart. I later learned that it was a whole spread sheet with sheets on it that had different charts where I could find the one I wanted and fill it in.

Applying RHL Character Traits in Ed Tech

For the past few years, RHL has been having character traits of the month. The first character trait this year for the month of September is attentiveness. I have tried to apply this character trait by paying attention in class and not having to ask twice about something that was already told, and by doing my making sure I hear what the homework is and when it is due. Here are some ways I plan to apply the other character traits throughout the year.

October- Determination: I am determined to help others when they need help on the computers and to help even while I am at home by communicating with people through comments or email. In addition, I am determined to find a way for absolutely all of the homework.

November- Thoroughness: I plan to be thorough in my work and do it to the best of my ability. I'm not going to give 100%, I'm going to give 200%. My posts will be thorough an not just barely making it.

December- Compassion: I plan to help out others who are having trouble and encourage them if they are having a rough time with tech.

January- Wisdom: I plan to make wise choices in what I do. Such as getting everything done in tech that was assigned rather than doing other things on the computer. I also plan to share whatever wisdom I have about technology with someone else who has different wisdom than me about technology.

February- Deference: I plan to be respectful to others and listen to them and their point of view and be open minded about their blogs and posts.

March- Availability: I plan to make my self available to others so that I can help them if I can instead of being occupied with things that aren't what I'm required to do.

April- Thriftiness: I plan to spend my time wisely and not waste it by doing other things such as talking a bunch. Instead I will finish everything assigned and more.

May- Persuasiveness: I plan to be persuasvie by encouraging people to share their work to others and persuade them that there work is as AMAZING as it really probably is if they don't think so.

All these traits I will try to apply throughout the year in ed tech as well as outside of that class and school.

A Foreign Food Blog

When Mr.A gave the assignment to search for a foreign blog, I knew that I was going to search for something in Romania, as my family is Romanian and I can read some. One thing that Romania is known for is there delicious food! So i decided to search Romanian food recipies under blogs on google. I have found that if you want to find a blog written in a different language, your best chance to find something is to search it in that different language. The Blog I found is called "Pusik's Blog- Rete simple si gustoase" Which means easy and delicious recipies. There are a variety of recipies on this website that are some of my favorites. So if you want to, check it out, translate, and cook up some delicious and easy Romanian food.
