Merry Christmas! Well, it's kind of a late wish but I wanted to write a blog entry after Christmas and Boxing Day. Christmas wasn't a big deal this year, we had gift exchange but no such things like parties because every one was busy. But Boxing Day was great. My dad got me a pair of speaker set which also came with a microphone set. Great, some thing useful for the pod cast assignment. My mom told me and my brother that we have to clean and mop our rooms and rest of the house before the end of Dec. 31. That gives us about 4 days. Great, more homework. This time I mean the sarcastic GREAT! I have to go for my cousin's birthday party on Dec.30 that leaves us only three days to clean up. In the past years I always have left my cleaning to the last minute and suffered but I am hoping this year will be different but again what are the chances of that???? At least I only have to clean my HUGE room unlike my brother who has to clean the whole house. Guess, its worth to be the pet of the house. This is the only time I'm happy to be the youngest of the home. Go me, Go me, It's my birthday!!! It sucks to be my brother. I feel so sorry for him. NOT! That's pretty much how the holidays went. See you in school! Happy New Year!!! Whoopee, 2007!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft Test!!!! Did I fail????????????
22/12/06
Today was the last school day of the year 2006. YAHOO!!!!!!!! But it wasn't a very enjoying day because we had a test, not the best thing to have on the last day of school. The test was pretty easy but I messed up the labeling part terribly. It wasn't just me, couple of other people messed it up too. I haven't even heard of most of the tools that were on the labeling part of the test. I just studied the basic tools, the one's that were there are tools that came from Mr. Case's made up toolbar. Guess, I have to study harder for the next test. How hard? GOK ( god only knows) Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year for all the folks that are reading my blog right now. See you after the break.

Test Posponed.......... Is this good or bad???????
20/12/06
The test was postponed today. God knows if it's good or bad because last time the test was postponed we were given more topics to study. But nothing like that happened today. I rather do the test today because I don't want to have a test on the last day of school of the year 2006. 2 more days until the break. BTT was such a stress this week with the tutorials and test. I feel sorry for the editors writing 2 tutorials took a lot out of me imagine how the editors will feel editing 60 of them. Writing the tutorials wasn't hard work but finding the topic was annoying because most of the topics that we have heard of have been taken. But I guess that's a good thing because it will be a great opportunity to learn stuff. I already handed both of my tutorials yesterday so now I don't have to worry about it. I spent rest of the period doing ALL THE RIGHT TYPE. Bell is probably going to ring in a while. Yeah, we're watching a movie in science.

Supply Teacher, THE HORROR
19/12/06
Today all of our tutorials were due. Thank god it's finished. My first tutorial was on Setting another language and my second one was on Sort. Both of them were pretty easy. Apart from this happiness there's sad news. The news is that we have a test tomorrow. Things that's going to be on the test Macros, Inserting Auto Text, Symbols, Footnotes, Headers and footers, Summarizing, Inserting comments, Setting another language, Bullets, arrows and other symbols, Print preview, Compatibility, Thesaurus, Overtype, Passwords, Mail shortcuts, Columns, Envelopes and address labels, Backgrounds Source: All of these topics were taken from Ms. Griffiths BTT pick-up folder Ms. Griffiths said that these just some of the things that are going to be on the test. I think Macros and Mail Merge are definitely going to be on the test because Mr. Case took a class explaining those features. Good luck for me and all the people writing the test. Study hard!!!!
LONG TIME NO SEE
18/12/06
Wow! Long time no see. Our last BTT class was on Dec.13. That was a long time ago. I didn't write in my blog for such a long time. Sorry about that. Today Mr. Case said that we have to hand in all three of our tutorials by Wednesday but Ms. Griffiths said that we have to hand in 2 of our tutorials by Tuesday. Which one? Hand in 2 tutorials by Tuesday (Ms.Griffiths) Or Hand in 3 tutorials by Wednesday (Mr.Case) I guess it's better to listen to Ms. Griffiths because she's the teacher that marks us. I'm finished one of my tutorial and now I better get started on my second one. Wish me good luck. We also have a test on Wednesday. Oh man. Let's take it one step at a time. See you at my next blog if I don't die.

Supply Teacher, THE HORROR
13/12/06
Today Ms. Griffiths was absent so we had a supply teacher. The HORROR!!!!!!!!!!! She is the worst supply teacher I ever had in my history of school years. I'm exaggerating aren't I? Well, she is really strict and mean. She wants everything to be perfect. Out of all the supply teachers we had to have her. Mr. Case (one of the other BTT teachers) told us to work on our second tutorial but our editors told us not to start on the next tutorial because they haven't finished sorting out the fist ones. So they don't know if there's any doubles on the first tutorials. Since the editors told us not to work on the second tutorials we were doing ALL THE RIGHT TYPE but the supply teacher kept screaming at us because we weren't doing what we were supposed to do. When we tried to explain to her that we weren't doing our work for a reason, she kept telling us not to talk back to the teacher. I HATE HER!!!! Thankfully after a while the bell rang and we all left to our fifth period class. YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting back to life................ Oh no.................
12/12/06
Today I was back in life. Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found out that yesterday the class learned about "Mail Merge" God knows what they mean. After a moment of trembling one of my friends explained to me what it means and how to use it. Mail merge are letters that have the same body text but different names, addresses, dates, etc.
Steps to use Mail Merge
- Go to tools
- Click on mail merge
- On the pop-up window click on create and click on form letters
- Under data click on create data source
- When you go to create data source add the fields (fields can be such as first name, last name, address, date, or holiday) that you need
- Make sure that you delete the fields that you don't need
- Save it
- Click on edit data source
- Put the information into the pop-up window
- Go back and type your letter
- Then go back to tools, mail merge and click on merge
We were assigned a project as well. The project was to write a mail merged letter to five people in the class or either some one we know. After we were done we were supposed to drop it in the drop off folder. That's pretty much what was going on yesterday. We spent today's class finishing the mail merge. That all for now.
Not in..................Don't know what to do
11/12/06
I was away today so I don't know what the other people in class learned or did. Well, tomorrow I have to go ask my friends about what I have missed. Until then BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Making a book is soooooooo much work!!!!! Can we do it????
06/12/06
We had an ELECTION today. Yah!!!!!! It was to pick people to be the editors for the book. Mr. Case said that we needed 2 people from each class to be the editors. There were six people who tried out. The results were.................... hmm, should I say???????????? O.K. Fine, the two people who got picked was Madeeha and Ha Eun. I also wanted to be an editor but that's o.k. they'll be just as great. After that we were supposed to finish our first tutorial which we started doing yesterday. Mr. Case also said if your first tutorial was on a easy topic then next do it on a hard topic and vice versa. Since my first topic was easy, I had to choose a harder topic. I already started on a topic but I'm not going to tell you until I'm finish because it's first come, first served. After we were done the tutorial we were supposed to let some one else proof read then give it the editor. That's about it.

Microsoft Word Tutorials
05/12/06
Today we started doing tutorials for the book we're planning to publish. We were supposed to do it on the topic that we presented to the class. My topic is how to set another language in Microsoft Word. Most people couldn't finish so Ms. Griffiths said that we were going to get the next class to work on it. After the bell rang and we all left to our next class. That's pretty much how the class went.

Making a book, do you have the guts????????
04/12/06
Today Mr. Case assigned the due dates for the pod cast project. The first is going to be some one from the other BTT class, then the following week it will be us. It's going to rotate like that. We have to make two pod casts. The first one on what we did in Info. Tech class that week and the second one is on your choice. Me, and my partner's project is due on Feb.09. That gives us plenty of time to finish it.
The second thing we discussed about is publishing a book. Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't it exciting? Mr. Case said that he tried doing this for couple of years and it didn't work out for two reasons. One some one plagarized, two some one didn't do the work. We're doing a book on Microsoft word that's going to have tips and tricks on Microsoft word for grades from 7-9. If we get the book published, Mr. Case said that our marks are definitely going to go up and we will probably have a pizza party at the end of the year with the money that we make.
Every one in the BTT class is going to write about 3 pages each which would make the book at least 60 pages long. All of the people's names who write the book are going to be in the author's section. There are also going to be couple of people from each class who's going to editing the book. Those people's names are going to go in the cover of the book.
So when you go to an interview and they ask you "Do you know anything about Microsoft Word?" You can say that you have written a book about it. That's about it for now.

Making our own pod cast.............Noooooooo
01/12/06
This is my first official post of December. It's almost close to the Christmas break. Yah!!!!!!!!!!!!
First each of the people in the class was asked to come up to the front and say something that they have learned about Microsoft word. As usual every one including me was nervous because every one thought that you were only supposed to write it in your blog; no one knew that you were supposed to present it. So one by one every one we got up and said one thing that we learned about Microsoft word.
We were assigned another pod cast assignment. The assignment was that we have to make our own pod cast. We were supposed to do that in either groups of two or by our self. Right now we're facing a lot of problems with groups, but if this problem continues then I'm going do the project by my self because I rather do it by my self than working with some one that you don't get along with. Right?????
After that Mr. Case showed us a site about Audacity. Audacity is a sound editing program. This is the program that we will be using in order to make our pod cast. You can download Audacity for free.
The site for downloading Audacity: http://www.sourceforge.org
Most of the school computers already have this program. Each group is going to create 1 episode of the BTT pod cast. Because of that the due date is going to be different for each of the groups. I feel sorry for the group that's going to go first. I hope it's not me!!!!! Pray for me, Please!!!!
