Yesterday, we had the computers test for Excel. Unfortunately, I studied all of the complicated formulas and did not focus much on the simple ones. I hope I did alright!

Today, I studied for our Excel test tomorrow. There are a couple of things you should know abut Excel: First of all, Excel is created byBill Gates. The worksheet is sorted out by columns which use letters/roman numerals (vertical) and rows (horizontal) whihc use numbers. The cells are designated by the letter first, and then the number (for example cell A2). There are three types of information you can put into a cell: a number valule (contsant), a text string (to help us remember things), and formulas (whihc do the math for us). There are four basic equations you can do with Excel: multiplication (*), division (/), addition (+), subtraction (-), as well as others. Remeber that all equations must begin with an equal sign. Some of the other mathematical formulas include sum, average, count, payment, countA, minimum, maximum, and IF. If is used to compare certain number values with others, suach as if the value in A5 was greater than 100, the answer would either be "yes" or "no". This is especially usefull when you want to find out say the students how goton the honor roll for term 1. Another thing you should know is the fill option. Click on a cell's right, bottom corner until you see the cross and drag it down or across. You can edit what happens here by pressing fill series to get the next logical balue in the next cell, or copy cells for the same cell over and over again.

Yesterday, I made my formula workbook. The things I covered included addition, subtraction, division, multiplication, average, sum, minimum, maximum, and count. I'm positive I know more about Excel now after completing this assignment.

Phew!! Boy am I tired! Today I finished editting the Moh Joh Show podcast episode one. It was really hard tring find music and special effects that were laegal to use, but I did find them in the end. It took a good two or more hours of my time going back and forth, and perfecting it. Still I think that the music is a bit too loud. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for the comments/crictism to come in.

Yesterday, John came to my house. We made our podcast, and it took us roughly 2 hours. I think it was pretty funny and good for our first one. John was the happy-go-lucky host, while I was the criticizing type. We reviewed the book the Da Vinci Code. It will be up pretty soon;we just have to edit it. If you're interested in listening to it, or any other podcasts, go to the woodbine wiki and look for The Moh Joh show.

Last class, we talked about microsoft excel. You can do a lot of neat things with excel. You can input formulas (which you can later apply to other boxes in your document), so that you do not have todo a lot of math. You can put in values (numbers) or you can put in words. We're still learning more about Excel, so I'm sure I'll get to know more tomorrow.

Today I also put advertisements on all of the pages I created on our woodbine wiki. Hopefully, it will get more people informed about our podcast-to-be. The first book we'll be reviewing will be called Da Vainchi Code.
