Things I Learned in Class

In my computer class, I learned a lot of things. I learned a lot more on the basic stuff. Most of
them came from the Dell computers. Eventually, I worked on projects on Microsoft Word, Excel, and Access. Late in December, my class started to use Apple computers, which have a few advanced things. These helped me check out more about the coolest technology.
These new things helped me in a lot of ways. If there was something I never done in a computer, then sometimes my class and I would learn it from my teacher Ms. Ramirez. If I get a
good job that uses these skills then I'll know just what to do. In my other classes if I were to do
a PowerPoint presentation, which I have never done before, then the new skills that I learned
in computer class will definitely help.
This new technology is very important for a career that I might be pursuing because it is
21st century technology and it leads to new careers for people. I enjoy playing video games and
some colleges have a degree for it. I might get a career in game design. I might also get an Academy major for Apple.
