Embedded Files
Introduction
Throughout this semester, we have learned to be more knowledgeable about technology and have worked towards becoming more tech savvy. One way we did this was by exploring applications and software such as the Microsoft office suite through in class lectures as well as online tutorials (for Office Word, PowerPoint, and Excel). At the start of the semester we also went over some information about the emailing application Outlook.

Lessons Learned
Further Exploring each of these applications and developing other technical skills this semester has been very beneficial (especially as a student, I have been able to apply these skills to work in other classes). I plan to continue to work on and practice my technological skills and expand upon my overall technical knowledge in the future.
