What I Learned

This week, in Microsoft Office 2007, I had to make a newsletter step-by-step by following the directions on a PowerPoint. I learned a lot about using Smart Art, putting borders on your document, using columns, changing the theme, using Word Art, and inserting a block of text from a different file into your document.

Week 3

I had to work with a partner to finish my newsletter. We did ours on themes, fonts, and colors. Before we did this assignment, I had no clue how to use themes, and now I do.

Week 2

This week I learned how to use Microsoft Office 2007 to my advantage so that I could insert a bibliography and use it for in-text citations.

Week of September 6th-September 9th

This week, I learned a lot about different ways to research information. Before this week, I had never used tools like Mashpedia, Sweet Search, or Google News, and those ended up being very helpful for my Project Topic Research. I'll definitely use these tools in the future.
For my project topic research, I think that I'm going to do the starvation crisis in the Horn of Africa.
