Spreadsheets & NeTrekker

I'm blogging so late due to a crazy weekend I had.  This past week in class we talked about spreadsheets and using a online researching tool provided by schools named NeTrekker.  When I first used NeTrekker it was so hard. I had to use the YouTube videos on how to search and look for items using NeTrekker.  I was getting so irritated that I had to take a breather, ha!  It was hard looking for different spreadsheets that other peers did not post on the discussion forum.  There was not a lot of choices to choose from for this assignment. I was tempted to use another resourcing website.  I took my time and found something though. 

Spreadsheets are easy for me to do.  Using google docs for the first time was fun as well.  The only thing I noticed is that whenever I click the link the professor gave to us, I can't copy it in my wolfmail account.  My wolfmail account is connected to my Gmail account, so it defaults it to the Gmail one.  I decided to do my own simple recipe since it was not in my favor.  Other than that, this week lesson was good.

I'm looking forward for next week, then we get a BREAK.. whoo hooo....

Online Word Processing

This week in class we discussed online word processing.  Every since I started the program here at Stritch I then started using Google Docs.  This was the first work processing program I ever used.  In class we learned about more and in the first week of class we used another one. I believe the name of it was Writewithme or Teachwithme. I don't recall the exact name but the program was a very helpful and fun program to use.  It reminds me of Google Docs, except you get to chose a color you want to be in that program.  Online word processing would be very helpful in group discussion, group projects, etc.  I can see myself in the near future using online word processing in my classes.

Using Productivity Tools Effectivly -CEDO 515

The new class is so far a lot of busy work or simply just a lot of work.  I'm going crazy trying to juggle all of this work and work at my job lol and take care of my child. Whew!!! ***Wipes for head****. I do understand this is a Masters Program, but this is the only class so far that's changing things up.  I was use to the same group of people that I was working with, now almost everyone has to change their schedules around to work with the new groups.  No complaint though!

I was excited to do the graphics presentation and the PowerPoint one, but then I looked at the additional homework we have to answer from the book, I was like oh eem geee (OMG).  I hope I survive through this class. I'm already counting down the days I have left and when I get a break.  All I can do is wait and do all the work I can do.  This first week was  A LOT of work.

to be continued.....

Excited

Happy Wednesday everyone.  I'm just excited today because everything is moving as planned.  I'm closer to closing on my home, which should happen in a week or two.   Then mother's day is coming up.  I love making my mother proud and happy and to show she's the best mother and I adore her, I always send her some where.  Unfortunately this time she's only going to the pfister hotel for one night with my favorite auntie.  I'm treating them to massages and then there headed to Chicago (Chi-town). 

I start a new class tomorrow and I wonder how it will be.  This is the first instructor to have us purchase a book and I don't know what to think.  I like reading but I hope the material to read is not boring (Zzz) The only thing I can do is see.  Other than that, the sun is shinning and it suppose to be a sunny day here in Milwaukee.  55 to 60 degree weather is winning!!!! yay. 

Have a wonderful day all
