In my junior year of high shcool, I took a technology class. It was comprised of students from all grade levels, and was a requriement for us to graduate. The point of the class was to be able to properly use Microsoft Office applications, like "Powerpoint," "Word," and "Excel." Everyone in the class had their own computer. We sued a textbook that gave us different exercises to do during class time. They were all related to whatever application we working with. The exercises were designed to teach the class to use the application.
At first the class was rather boring, and some of it was easy, like the section on Microsoft Word. However, we learned important things about Word, like who to set up our own tabs or insert clip art and make changes to it.
I had a particularly hard time with the section on "Excel." But our teacher was very helpful. Also, other students that understood the concepts were allowed to get up and help others if they finished the exercise for that day. This was good because it allowed the students a chance to help each other.
We learned to use Powerpoint. At this point, I do not think I ever needed to use powerpoint, so the class was very helpful. Our final project was to use powerpoint to present a slide show with animations and fun transitions, to a song of our choice. The project tested our knowledge of powerpoint, because we had to time the powerpoint to the music we chose. This project was very fun and using powerpoint is very easy for me now.
