Data Presentation
MethodsWe learned about file structures and advanced features ofMicrosoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint which included formatting and design techniques in both applications.
Data Analysis in Microsoft Excel
2007In this lab we will learn some basics of Microsoft Excel 2007 including how to manipulate data and how to make simple line graphs, and pie and bar charts.
Programming in Scratch
Digital Media Analysis and Manipulation to Support Scientific Research
We learned how to manipulate images and create animations in Photoshop. First we performed a "makeover" of an image of Madonna and then a caricature of her as well. Next, we used some more advanced techniques to create a pseudo-scientific simulation animation of aglacier melting.
We used simple programming to construct simple programs using Scratch software such as a “Baby Catch” game and Tic-Tac-Toe.
