Web Maker Review

I recently finished making a bunch of codes for different images on the website Webmaker.org and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We had to make a meme, movie poster, keep calm poster, gig poster, and one of our choice. For my choice, I made a postcard from Hawaii. Here is the link to those pictures:

Excel

After completing all of the activities for Microsoft excel, I feel a lot more comfortable using it when i might need it on homework or a project. The activities that we did were kind of boring at first because it wasn't really difficult. However, as the levels increased, so did the difficulty and I had to test my skills. I might even consider using Excel on a math project for a table or for biology. I enjoyed doing the Excel unit in this class.

Favorite Webpage

The type of webpages that I like to read are ones that have interesting writing and  where the layout and design made to look nicely. One example of a webpage that I might have been thinking of was edline or maybe twitter or a social network.

Hour of Code

I recently finished all of the activities for the Hour of Code and I really enjoyed the games. This was a good way for people to start to get into computer programming and it was just a fun game in general. This might even make me interested to do another different type of code programming. It was easy for most ages I think but some of the later levels were harder than the earlier levels in my opinion. I was mainly confused on one of the levels where I asked a friend for advice.

Computer Choice

After doing all of the research on which computer to choose, a MacBook Air or a Surface pro 2 I have finally come to the decision of getting the MacBook. I decided this because the battery life is really great, it is very light, and it can hold a lot of memory. I have also noticed that it isn't that much more expensive than the Surface and it seems to have better qualities. The screens display is great also and is one of the best that apple has made yet.

Power Searching Benefits

During this unit of computer applications, I have learned  many different ways that I can improve on searching with Google and finding better results faster. One of ways that I personally have benefited from learning some of the shortcuts on Google are Ctrl + F which will make a search menu pop up on your screen. This will allow you to type any word into that search box and it will go to the places on the web page where it has that word, if it has it. I have used this in the past if I was working on a DBQ or a type of research paper. The second benefit of this course that I have learned was the "" searching operator. I have used the quotes in the past by when I was searching my name on the internet to see what the results would be. When searching my name I thought it would be important to use the quotes because I have a baseball park with the same name as my last name and some of the results might be for that. I have also used the quotes when I hear a song that I don't know the name of and I type the lyrics that I know and put quotes around it.
