Healthy Teen Living Presentation


In lesson four we learned how to get design templates from the internet, insert sound and videos, hyperlinks, and action buttons. The design templates from the internet are very helpful. They give you a way to have a more creative powerpoint and not use the same old boring tempaltes, that are used by everyone else. Inserting the videos and sounds is very easy and helps you to present your powerpoint in a more interesting way. The hyperlinks can take you to another slide or they can take you to the internet. The action buttons mainly is used to take you to the next slide, last slide, or first slide. In all of the lessons so far we have learned things that help make our slides more interesting.

Copyright Powerpoint


In lesson three of powerpoints I learned how to do many things on powerpoint that helped it look more interseting and neat. Some of these things are slide master, transistions, animations, outline view and other things. Slide master is very useful, because it lets you put things on the first slide such as a header, footer, or picture and it will go on all the slides. Transitions help you move your slides in a smooth attractive way, and the animations give it more style. These are jsut a few things that I am really glad I learned in powerpoint, becuase they will help me create effective powerpoints in the future.

Know Your Audience

This is about someone who is giving a presentation about their comic book collection to an art class at a local community college. It explains that no matter if you are writing-a presentation, report, letter, or a memo, you need to know the needs of the particular audience. You need to find out who your audience will be and the types of questions they may ask. Also be sure that you leave enough time for questions at the end of your presentation.
·         Who will read or see this piece of writing
·         What do I want them to know
·         What background do they bring
·         What do I want this piece of writing or presentation to accomplish
It is good to understand your audience because you don’t want to bore them and you wan to be sure you give the information in a way they understand.

Microsoft Presentation software can be used to present information in a classroom setting. Businesses use power point to provide information to a variety of audiences. Power point can help give you a professional look that is well organized, focused, and engaging. That will help you give a great impression to your audience. Presentation software can be used to report, educate, and explain. Companies use presentations software to educate and train their employees. Power point allows you to illustrate presentations with charts, tables, text, diagram, and pictures. These are the things you should do to be sure your presentation is effective in the workplace: identify audience, keep text brief and to the point, use attractive color schemes, use animation sparingly, rehearse your presentation, revise it, speak clearly, and to your audience do not just read the slides.

Unit 4-Lesson 1 Introduction to Charts: Choosing the Right Graph


There are four different graphs we can create in Excel. One is a bar graph, it is the most common type of graph, and another name for it is column charts. The purpose of the bar graph is to show the amounts or the number of times a value occurs. Second is the line graph. Line graphs are used to plot changes in data over time, an example would be monthly temperature changes. The data points in line graphs represent the changes in your data. The third graph is a scatter plot, which shows the trends in data; when you have large numbers of data points it is most useful. In scatter plots, if the best fit line increases, it is a positive correlation, if the best fit line decreases, then it is a negative correlation in the graph. Pie charts are used to show a percentage of particular items that represents a data series, and another name for pie charts is circle graphs. The last graph is a pie chart; every data values would add up to 100%. Unlike other graphs and charts, pie charts don’t use horizontal or vertical axes to plot points.

Charts, Graphs, and Diagrams

Spreadsheets and graphs are used to show information in a way that is visual and can be easily understood. Spreadsheets calculate data automatically for you. The graphs are a way to visually data that you want. There are different types of charts/graphs used. These charts are pie, bar, and line. You would usually use a pie chart to show percentages, an example would be if you wanted to show the religions of the people in a county. You would use a bar graph to compare information, an example would be comparing how many boys and girls played a game and who had the highest scores. You would use a line graph to show data over a period of time, an example would be showing shoe sales over the month. A diagram is used to present useful data in a more visual way that is easier to learn from. It is sometimes better to show information as a graphic than in numbers or word, because it can be remembered easily and it won’t appear as overcrowded things to look at and try to figure out. You could use a pie chart outside of school to present data such as how many people of each race live in a county. Basically the overall view on graphs and charts is that they are used to be more visual and to make sure things don’t appear sloppy on your spreadsheet.

Lesson 3 Features:

Features of Lesson 3:
Smart Art, Tab Color, Background, Border, Cell Style, Aligment, Merge/Center, Rename Sheet Tab

We learned many features in lesson 3. Some of these features are smart art, tab color background, border, cell style, alignment, and merge/center and rename sheet tab. All of these features help you to keep your spreadsheet organized. Smart art is used to organize things in a certain column or row, and used to organize things in a certain column or row, and put them in a design format that pops out. Tab color changes the color of the sheets in your workbook, this helps you be more organized and know the difference of each tab without having to read them. Background just adds a design making the spreadsheet appear more stylish, the border helps separate title from the rest of the work and not have a overcrowded look. Cell style gives more design, causing spreadsheet to be more vibrant and not boring. Alignment and merge and center, help to center titles. Renaming sheet tabs will help you stay organized so you do not have to search through the sheets and see which is which one is what. There are more features to excel that help you to stay organized, these are just a few.

Using MAth Formulas

Formulas are important because they help you calculate everyday things, without realizing it. You can use formulas to calculate how much money you will make from babysitting your aunts daughter for a week while she is on vacation. If you watch her daughter you will get paid $35 a day and if you take her places and teach her it’s an extra $15, but once you get the money you want to go to the movies and get your hair done.  So once you do this you have to calculate and see how much you will have left. Excel will use the order of precedence first it will multiply, then add and then subtract. 15 will be multiplied by 35, than add 15 and subtract the money from getting your hair done and going to the movies.

introduction To Excel

Summarize:
Excel is a type of spreadsheet software that can be used to organize and process numbers in rows and columns. It is used by businesses to organize data, including budgets, sales figures, expense statements, and time cards. This is helpful to students because it gives the ability to create your class schedule, your grades, your friends address and phone numbers, and your personal budget, There are many advantages to business using excel to store and process data, by using excel it is much easier to use numbers. With this spreadsheet there are ready made columns and rows. There are also built in formulas which can automatically calculate sums, averages, maximum values and minimum values. These built in formulas can be copied to other columns and rows to make quick and accurate calculations.
1. Businesses are one of the main users of Microsoft excel. They use it to organize data such as, budgets, sales figures, expense statements, and time cards. There are also other ways that excel is used in businesses. Some may use excel to determine how much each person will be paid and how many hours they have worked.
2.People use excel's built-in formula, becasue it is easier and quicker to use than getting a caculator and processing all the data.
3. Excel is different than Microsoft in many different ways. One way that it is different is that you do not have to create tables to set your information up into. In a spreadsheet there are ready made columns and rows. With excel formulas are given to you unlike in Microsoft you have to do the math yourself. Excel makes it easier for business to create schedules, teachers to create grade sheets and students to organize their class schedules. In Microsoft you would have to create a table with rows and columns taking up extra time.
4. On the internet i found out that excel can also be used to create calendars and schedules. you can create weekly, monthly and yearly calendars with excel. You can also shedule bill dates.
