Today in my computer essentials class we learned how to operate the handy spreadsheet tool offered by Google Drive. We completed an assignment with teamwork by choosing a partner and finishing it on a spreadsheet. Google provides you an option to invite people that you desire to see your project, all you have to do is submit their email. This allows you to use the spreadsheet with another individual or group.
We were assigned to make QR codes and had them hung around our school. I created my QR code September 9th and since then I have received 7 scans!Google Doodles lets you explore the Google logos and the history of the creations. These logos were created by employees, students, etc. They offer contests that allows students create these logos that have the chance to win! Up above, I provided two of my favorite logos which the first one was not a winner, and the second one was. These logos caught my eye because of the nature-like art they include, from the sky to underground and from animals to people.In class I learned that Google provides many apps that allows you to do a number of activities. These activities include reading recent stories in the news with Google News, shopping online with Google Shopping, translating specific words or sentences from one language to another with Google Translate, and many more!
Google Maps is a great tool that can be used as a GPS, a locater, or even just to scope out a place you've always wanted to see! You can view images of multiple places, or even select a street view, which offers a 3D view of buildings, homes, etc. It also offers the amount of distance in miles and time it would take you to arrive from one destination to another by the way you will be traveling (driving, walking, flying, etc.)
Today is the one week mark of my senior year. School is going by pretty smooth so far, but it's still hard to believe this is my last year. I'm enjoying my classes so far, especially AHS Singers.Today I created a blog using Weebly. This site is beneficial for people who have a desire to write about things for others to read. Weebly offers different categories of websites you can create that costs anywhere from $0 to $25/month.
