Rene’s thoughts…

Over the last two weeks, i have been exploring the simple but complex program of Microsoft Excel. This program is simple to the viewer on first meeting, but there is alot more to it than meets the eye. For this weeks portfolio item we had to contruct a grade book with simple and complex functions. I worked with a partner which made it easier. The spread sheet is pretty complex now, it has about 4 different functions. Our tutor said that if we can work out a specific function such as giving grades A, B, C, D, E & F we would be receiving a 4. Aimee and i tried working it out. We did not succeed. Overall though we are both very happy with the spread sheet, it is much more complex than either one of could have imagined.

Over two weeks we had to construct an excel spread sheet. It was a grade book and it must incorporate simple and complex functions. Aimee White and myself worked on this grade book together. Here it is: Grade Book Spread Sheet

This weeks study guide and portfolio item was based on using Microsoft Publisher. Microsoft Publisher is very unfamiliar to me. I don’t remember ever using it in any of my schooling or work life. Having said that, i must say how easy it was to use. Being very familiar with Microsoft Word, Publisher was not much different. It had the same tools as Word and i was able to navigate my way around the program just as well as using any Word document.The study guide was very simple, it was just a basic users guide to using Microsoft Publisher. I didn’t use it for my portfolio item, it just stated how to open and use the program.My Portfolio Item 4, i loved doing. It was a little expression of me. I had trouble loading the document onto the blog, it would not allow publisher to load, so i had to save it as a jpeg file, which saved fine. I created it with a black background, which i think really emphasised my pictures and comments.  I really enjoyed doing this weeks portfolio item.
