What I found to be particularly difficult in this assignment is how to use action buttons in the PowerPoint. In the beginning, I kept trying to hyper link the slides together but the method I was trying to do this by was only for hyperlink files, graphs, or other presentations. I couldn’t figure out how to hyperlink the separate slides together, which was an important step to complete. I finally used “help” in PowerPoint to help me. It gave me a detailed explanation so I was no longer confused.
I honestly learned so much from this assignment. I struggled a lot because I have never really used excel. I didn’t have the knowledge about excel to figure out how to perform calculations without using my calculator and typing it in. But after listening in class and looking into the program itself, I was able to figure it out. Now I know there are codes that I can use to plug in data in excel.
The objectives I have used through this project is being patient with myself and giving myself enough time to figure things out. I struggled but I kept at it and figured everything out. I hopefully was able to do all the different steps correctly such as linking the documents to one another. I also am learning and understanding a lot of different things about Microsoft programs which is something I was hoping out of this class. This assignment definitely helped me understand how to integrate technology into my education process. Spread sheets are very useful to keep yourself organized and your own progress and something I will be using in my career. Even in my student teaching, I see teachers using excel so I am glad I am learning about this now.
