Artifact Name Information Processing College Course (Excel and Microsoft)
and FBLA Data Base
Core Competency Information Management- The student will demonstrate a working understanding of the tools, strategies, and systems needed to access, process, maintain, evaluate, and disseminate information to assist business decision-making. Course Subject Information Processing Last Update May 2014 and March 2014 Rationale I am including the college course Information Processing which includes Excel and Microsoft applications because we spent a lot of time using Excel making spreadsheets and formulas. Microsoft is an application we used almost every day for writing papers or just simply using its spell check. As the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) secretary I was in charge of editing and updating the data base. I am including this because I got to go on the edit mode of a website and make changes or fix items that needed to be done in the back ground. Knowledge
From being part of the Information Processing class I learned a lot that I did not previously know such as in Excel you can make a formula and expand it to more than one column and it will continuously do that same equation. Working in Microsoft word I learned that you can actually do more than just write papers. You can make posters, a document with different page layout, make a heading, and even learned how to make a table of contents. Doing the FBLA data base I was able to learn how to go behind the sense and edit a web page. I learned how to add an event and change names of event within the data base. From the data base I also learned you need to constantly check the published version to make sure it is changing. Skills I developed and used a lot of skills through working on these projects. Using Excel I developed the skill to make formulas and spreadsheets well making the organized. In Microsoft word I gained the skill to not just write papers but create posters or even a table of contents. I also utilized the skill of typing papers in a clean and organized format throughout my time of using Microsoft word. From the FBLA data base the skills I used was the skills of seeing mistakes or editing mistakes that were made. I developed the skill of knowing how to edit a data base and you need to always double check your edits because it makes not have correctly changed. Growth and Improvement Statement
I plan on growing in using Excel and Microsoft applications mostly word. Excel I believe I could have improved in using more formulas because we are getting a college credit for working in it. In Microsoft word I believe I could have improved in learning more items you can use in the program even though I learned a lot I had to ask for a lot of help on items that if I had the patience to figure out I could. Working in the data base I think I could grow in how to edit is and make it go faster because it took a lot of time to do the editing.
