Third Quarter Continues...

February 29 will be the last day we work on Excel. Monday, March 3rd, 2008 we will start working on our Project "Exploring Our Future Careers". I will give you detailed instructions. The goal of this project is to help you investigate different careers that you may want to consider for your future. You will do some research in the Internet (US Department of Labor - Bureau of Labor Statistics' Website http://www.bls.gov/). You will choose at least six possible careers for you and create a Microsoft Word Document, a PowerPoint Presentation, Excel Tables and Excel Charts.

By now you should understand the basic principles of the Excel Program very well. You should know how to create tables, entering basic formulas (calculating the sum, subtraction, multiplication and division of numbers; calculating averages and percentages) and how to format them. You should also know how to create charts in Excel and how to format them. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask Mrs. Feld.

On March 6 we will have an Excel Test. You will create a table, enter formulas and create a chart. I need to know that you understand what we have covered in class so far.

The "Exploring Our Future Careers" Project is due Friday, March 14, 2008. By the end of the Third Quarter you should have completed all of the Keyboarding Skill Builder Lessons. You should have also completed all of the Timed Writings.

In April we will work on the Numeric Keypad Lessons and the Numeric Keyboarding Lessons. In May we will learn how to create Business Letters.
