Technical skills I learned on the office application trainings
On Microsoft word what I learned what headings are and how they can be used to make organizing your content easier and more efficient. I only have learned how to use the basic tools of Microsoft word to write a professional essay. Now I have learned the other tools that Microsoft has and apply my knowledge later depending of the context.
Editing: Replacing a specific word through out the text with another.
Managing access: Choosing who you want to see your work and I discovered you can add a deadline to whoever has access.
Clipboard: I learned how to use the format painter to apply formatting in multiple places.Â
On PowerPoint, I learned how to add transitions and animations to slides, the different ways they can be animated and make presenting your slide show more professional and appealing. I also learned how to add sounds to a picture. Before I knew all these I only knew how to use and insert pre made designs to my slides.
Slide layout: I learned how to choose a different layout depending on the content you have
Animation: I learned how to add an animation type to a picture and how it can appear.
Slide show: I learned how to use presenter view in starting a slideshow
On Excel, I leaned how to create work sheets and input data, use and create formulas, inserting and using columns and pie chats to add collected data to worksheet.
Formula: using auto sum to add up number data & manually imputing formula equation
Charts: using a specific chart to represent main/important values
Data: sorting ascending data from its values & adding columns to present new data
Reflection:
Many of the features I learned in these application are going to be very useful for me. I can apply my learning to any work relation that uses these applications. Now that I have explored everything about word, excel and PowerPoint, i am more comfortable with them and i know how to use them more professionally and effectively in the future, which is a very important skill for online work.
