In my Computers Class, we learn how to use different computer programs and applications. I love computers class, because I'm so intrested in computers, they're just so cool! And learning what they can do is even cooler! Some of the things we have already done are learn many tricks on how to use Google, complete a website that teaches you about digital citizenship called My Digital Life, and learn how to make a website ( If you guessed that it was this one, then you're right! ). My computers teacher is Mr. Kimbley. Click on the "Mr. Kimbley" button to go to his website.

Presentation Project - How To Conjugate Spanish VerbsWe were assigned to create a presentation about what ever we wanted. I decided to use the presentation site Prezi, using the subject of conjugating Spanish verbs. This project has taught me how to use Prezi and how great of a presentation program it is. This presentation also helped me review and study for my Verbs Test in Spanish. This project has definitely increased my computer skills and my options of presentation programs to use. I definitely recommend people to use Prezi, they have a free account choice, and it's just great of what you could do with a presentation. I will definitely use Prezi again.

Multimedia Project - How To Conjugate Spanish VerbsIn Computers Class, our assignment was to create a multimedia presentation to teach the topic we chose. We were given about eight different multimedia websites we could use. I chose to use Go!Animate. I learned how to use the great and useful multimedia tool Go!Animate. I'm very glad that I learned about Go!Animate, because it proved very useful. I also completely reviewed my Spanish verbs skills and my computer skills. I really like the multimedia tool Go!Animate because it is a very useful tool if used correctly. It also has a free account, which I have, and it still gives many cool features. There is also a premium account with all these cool features, and other special accounts for business and school accounts. I do recommend using Go!Animate for presentation purposes, and I know I will consider Go!Animate the next time I must use multimedia for a project.

Google Forms (Instant Feedback) - How To Conjugate Spanish VerbsOur assignment was to create a review quiz on Google Forms that asks questions that were taught in our presentations. I learned how to create an Instant Feedback version of a Google Forms quiz. I think that this will prove to be an effective tool when studying for a test or creating a study guide for a friend. This definitely helped my computer skills and I will consider this later on in life. This also helped me even more as a studying guide for my Spanish class. I really like how Google Forms allows us to do something like this. I also like how Google has Google Forms but Microsoft Word does not. I would like to see a Microsoft Forms one day.

Power Searching With GoogleIn October I took a little course called Power Searching With Google. It was about a month long. It included many tutorial videos that showed how you could productively search Google and use some " hidden" or ignored options that could really help your day to day searches. This is a certificate showing that I completed the course.
In this course I learned the many tools and tricks of Google. Many people can't find what they want to find on Google because they don't know how to correctly use Google. This course definitely showed me the many tools of Google. I am know a more efficient Google searcher. This course definitely helps me with any sort of assignment I need to do research with. Google Chrome definitely made this course easier and faster to work with. |
My Digital Life
Click for larger image
My Digtal Life is sort of a game that teaches you digital citizenship, or in other words, how to behave online. There were seven different modules that all taught different things, from cyberbullying to how to chose a computer for your needs, from technological careers to malware and viruses. You have to take a test at the end of each module, to see if you understand what it's trying to teach you.
I learned exactly what it tried to teach me, how to have digital citizenship. I learned about what is and what is not cyberbullying, how to create a strong password, and how to find a computer for my needs. The information I learned from My Digital Life will definitely impact my life. I now know that there are concequences for inapropriate things on the internet, so it would definitely be in my consience when it is a good or bad decision time for putting something on the internet. I will recommend My Digital Life to my friends and family because it is very affective to teach you digital citizenship. I'm glad our teacher introduced it to us because I never heard anything like that before then.
