October 7, 2026: Today, I started to work on a project on Scratch. I made a couple of animations, but had trouble figuring out exactly how to get them to work as intended. Hopefully, I’ll figure that out eventually. I also worked a bit on my portfolio project.
Today we went over Scratch, which is a cool program to create whatever we set our minds to. The animations look rudimentary but to make them really soar its surprisingly complex. On My Project it took me a while just to figure out how to get the character to turn around. But I could see being able to build amazing works of arts if I wanted to. And for free, which is awesome. A lot of alternatives I imagine would be pretty expensive.
We then presented our own projects. Everyone’s were different but equally amazing. And if continued, I can tell they’d get even better.

Today we started class with a Scratch project and practiced using the tutorials they give at the start to get used to the interface. For most of the rest of the class, we worked on adjusting and worked on the projects individually. Then towards the end of class we each showed our progress to the group. Scratch is also good for animation and gaming projects, which is interesting.

Today we started off reviewing what today’s agenda was gonna be like. Then, for the rest of the time, we worked on a Google Doc, Google Sheets, and a mail merge add-on Chrome application assignment, and I would say it came out well. Also, I need to make time to work on the profile assignment outside of class, besides the outside study time during the week.
Today we went over some formulas (Present and the ability to split information between columns) to make managing data in sheets easier. Especially when they have something like 491 rows. Then we worked on an extension called Mail Merge which allows us to take the data in a spreadsheet and create a google doc template where it creates unique versions for each person that reflects things like their names, companies, and addresses. It’s a handy tool that should be natively in Google. Unfortunately to use Mail Merge fully you have to pay for it. On my own its not worth it, but for a company with a lot of correspondence it may be worth it.
Afterwards I worked on my slideshow on Canva and did some Percipico.
October 6, 2026: Today, I did a project that involved Google Docs and Google Sheets. With those two applications, I merged and created some letters for the Power of Wellness company.

Today we worked on a Google Slides assignment and got to set up our Google Slides project on the POW and membership perks, and got to design a Slides presentation on it. I think later in the week we will present our Slides projects to the class.
