Spreadsheet and Mail Merge

I just finished my assignment for the spreadsheet and mail merge document. Overall, I think my work turned out well and I was quite proud of my ability to learn how to utilize the spreadsheet in an applicable manner with creating grade sheets and merging it to create letters for parents. I did come across a problem with my Word 2003 and Excel 2003. I was trying to merge the grades to appear as percentages on the word document, but when I merged the two, the grades appeared as the original decimals. However, on the excel sheet, they appeared as percentages in each cell for their grade. Even though, I became frustrated and struggled with figuring out how to make the mail merge work in an appropriate manner for my letter, I thought the project turned out well. I was happy with my work and what I learned from the assignment.

I have also completed Newsletter on Word, which I was extremely happy with. It was fun to design the newsletter. I loved finding pictures and designing the newsletter. It helped that I designed my letter around an activity I did this year with a Kindergarten class. It helped to address academic standards through an activity in the newsletter. This was definitely an assignment I enjoyed working on and completing.

The other project I have completed already is the Pageflakes assignment. I have to admit that I was very nervous about this project because it was definitely outside of my comfort zone with technology. However, to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed designing my pageflake and figuring out how to upload videos and websites to my page. I was very happy to see how this project turned out and quite pleased with my hard work that went into it. This was definitely a beneficial project that I enjoyed completing and learning from.

I am off to go choose my next project I will be working on.
