Computers with Mr. Kimbley In computers, I get to learn a lot of new things. I learned how to use Microsoft Word better and I learned how to get better search results with Google. I also learned how to use the internet better with My Digital Life. Every morning though, we do this new thing called A Google A Day. Then, we get to working on what ever Mr. Kimbley has assigned to us.

A Google A Day!
Mr. Kimbley has introduced us to a new thing called A Google A Day. They give you questions and you have to use your google searching skills to find the correct answer. You get 300 points each time you answer the question correct. Sometimes if you find the answer fast enough, you can get bonus points. Each day there are five different questions. There are topics like Science, Math, ect. It is really fun to take the time to search for the answers. I enjoy it a lot but sometimes the answers are very hard to find. Some questions are very confusing and some I know right off the top of my head.
I like this program because each day I can learn something new. Also, I can put my searching skills to work. I am glad they made this program and that Mr. Kimbley showed it to us. It is a really fun thing to do and I am looking forward to doing it everyday.

My Digital Life
My Digital Life is a game where you have to make the right desicions in order to sell tickets for a concert you are hosting. But before you play the game, you have to complete seven modules. In each module there is a different catogory. It may be texting and driving or choosing a computer, and what-not. But no matter what the topic is, it will teach you how to improve your life with technology.
Here is a picture of my account on My Digital Life. The box on the bottom is the game and you can see my score is 675. On top of that are the seven modules on which I have completed. Then you see a little oddly pink shaped bubble which next to it, it says "Certificate unlocked!" That means that I have completed the whole My Digital Life and have earned a certifcate. I will show that soon. Playing My Digital Life has made an improvement on my life of technology. I used to be obsessed with technology but My Digital Life helped me make a list of how much time I should be spending on technology. |
Microsoft Greeting Card!
At the top are the three views of the greeting card I have created. We were all assigned to make a greeting card with Microsoft Publisher for the holidays or any other special occasion. I have chosen to create a greeting card for my friends one month anniversary. I am not fully finished with the greeting card, but I am getting close. I am planning on putting a picture of them on the inside of the card, since there are two sides. I have only took a screenshot of the one side I have typed on because the other side is blank.
I am really enjoying this project because I have never used Microsoft Publisher. Microsoft Publisher is a really nice and helpful way of creating invitations, greeting cards, poster, etc. Since I was shown how to use Publisher, I will probably be using it in the future. I think this project connect to art. Even though I do not take art, I think that if you are in art, you have to be creative and we have to be creative when creating this card.

Newsletter
We were assigned to create a newsletter about any topic. I chose the topic of Computech's winter activities. Recently, we were told that we were having a dance on December 20. I used that for one of my articles. I wrote about when, where, and how it is going to be. I also wrote about the candy grams that are being sold. We had to write a minimum of two articles related to our topic and the title of the newsletter. My topic for the dance was, "Dance, Dance, Dance!" and for the candy grams, "Candy Grams, Oh My!" I did this so it could catch the reader's attention, like Mr. Kimbley told us to do. For the title I put, "Computech Winter Times". I also, put a nice stand out font, to also catch the reader's attention.
For this project I used Microsoft Publisher. I chose this certain winter template to kind of tie together the whole winter topic. Microsoft Publisher has these helpful tools to help create what you need to make. Like the greeting card I made for my friends. Making this newsletter really helped go find evidence and details about a certain topic. It helped me write better about a certain topic, like the candy grams article. I had to know where they were being sold, and how much were they being sold for. I learned how to collect details and evidence and I think I will be able to remember this in the future.
