The technical skill assignment uses a simulation of Microsoft platforms through the platform SimPath. This supported me in building effective habits in creating spreadsheets, presentations, and documents.
This hands on module helped me discover a better way to complete my references within a document. By using the references tab in Microsoft word you can be guided through each piece of information you need to complete a citation. It will then format it for you depending on the style you choose. I have used this feature in multiple classes since I have Learnt about it.
This module presented a challenge for me as I am not familiar with the software. Excel is an excellent resource to create spreadsheets and charts based on numerical data. Although I believe platform is not beginner friendly it is efficient after you understand the basics.
PowerPoint allows individuals to create visual presentations and embed information into the sildes. The assignment taught me how to create an assessable presentation with insights on fonts, designs, and labeling images. On my Global Project page you can view a presentation a partner and i created with PowerPoint!
This assignment taught me how to use Microsoft Office apps to build and present data to share with peers. I learnt new ways to format citations, use formulas, and create accessible presentations. The lessons this module taught me were suprising as I have been using Microsoft Office since middle school.
