Adventures in Computational Thinking! By Alexis Selleck

1. Adventures in Computational Thinking! By Alexis Selleck Data Presentation Methods Data Analysis in Microsoft Excel 2007 Programming in Scratch We learned about file structures and advanced features of Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint which included formatting and design techniques in both applications. We used simple programming to construct simple programs using Scratch software such as a “Baby Catch” game and Tic-Tac-Toe. In 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. 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 a glacier melting. Digital Media Analysis and Manipulation to Support Scientific Research
