Spreadsheets is a tool used to make sorting items quick and easy. you can use formulas to instantly add, subtract, multiply, or divide numbers in the row or column. You are able to sort ascending or descending rows with numerical order or alphabetical order. Spreadsheets can be used in numbers, Google Docs, and many other programs on the web. Spreadsheets is an easy way to get items sorted in the way that you want it.
Google Hangouts is a device where you can video call people from anywhere. You have to have a gmail account to use this like a lot of other google apps. It is kind of like skype. But 10 times worse. I had SO many problems connecting with someone RIGHT NEXT TO ME. Aside from that. The video call is super laggy. I got a solid 2 frames per second when I finally did get in the call. Google Hangouts is garbage and I do not suggest it to anybody. Use skype instead. It does the exact same thing.... But it works.
Google even hires employees to make the backgrounds that show up on google each day. People grade K-12 can submit to be the best in their state each year. My favorite by far is this "Peanut Detector" photo from none other than Kansas. The artistic style really makes me think about who I am, who I will become, and who I want to become. This photo makes me shed a tear each time I see it.
We learned about some apps on google. The only one I liked was shopping. Google shopping showed me things that I wanted to buy not only on one site, but it shows you results from many different sites. I looked up some Hatsune Miku items that I may purchase. We learned about Google News which is basically a news site where you can edit your interests so you can see what you want to see. The third and final app we used was Google Translate. Google translate is what it says in the name. It's a translator. Sadly some of the translations aren't as good as some other sites but it still works fine.
Today I "learned" about google maps. The reason I put learned in quotes is because I already knew about google maps. It really is a common knowledge for anybody who has used a computer to know about it. It isn't that hard to grasp. But for whatever reason. I guess some people didn't know about it.... Or something.... So we had to "learn" it in class. For the uneducated. Google maps is a GPS service... On the computer!!!!! That's.... Really it.
Google Drive, while it is an awesome thing for people on PCs or Macs, is terrible on mobile devices. It constantly freezes, you cannot type easily, and it is just overall awful. I had already known about google drive before this assignment. It is a great tool to use to edit documents with another person live. So you do not have to send them the document, they edit it, and send it back to you for review. You can edit it with each other from different cities, states, or even countries.
My high school experience so far has not been fun. I don't enjoy most of the classes. High School was never meant to be enjoyable. It wasn't even made to be tolerable. It makes that very evident. Welcome to the next 4 years of your life.
Today I created a blog using weebly. Now my site is live.
