Technology by Natalie
In technology, we have been doing many different things. We are learning how use Microsoft Office. The first program we learned how to use was Word. One thing we learned in Word was how to copy and paste pictures. My favorite program we have learned is PowerPoint. In PowerPoint, we get to design slides of our own, such as adding pictures, backgrounds, and amazing animations. Soon, we are going to learn Excel. A project we have started in Excel is a science timeline. The science timeline is one we are working on in class. Another thing we are doing is research. Our first research topic was our saint project. We are starting some of our projects in school. The main source for research is the internet. One website that has some true facts but may not all be accurate is Wikipedia. Although we use many catholic sites, a good website for religious facts is Catholic.org. Even though research isn’t always fun, I like to get my research done at school so that I don’t have to do it at home. I really enjoy using technology at home and at school.

Want to know what we’re doing in our 6th grade technology class!? If you want to know all about our technology class, here it is. First off, we are beginning Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Publisher. Mostly we use Word for English and Literature homework. We use PowerPoint and Publisher for Religion and Excel for Science. Second, we’re creating a blog for the goings on in 6th grade. Like writing paragraphs for different subjects including this. We are also adding movie reviews to the blog soon. Last, but not least, we’re working on Saint Projects. We have two parts to the project, part A is a PowerPoint on the Saint of our choice. Part B is for example, a poster on a movie the Saint was in, a jigsaw puzzle, or a model of an important event in the Saint’s life. As you can see, We are learning a whole lot in technology, from Microsoft Office to Saint Projects, this year technology is off to a great start in 6th grade!
