Review of Microsoft APPS

-

  

Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint each serve unique purposes and have distinct usages. Microsoft Word is a word processing software that allows you to write letters, essays, college papers, etc., or engage in free writing. Excel is a spreadsheet program that enables you to compile and analyze data to reflect information based on the input you provide.

When you first enter the interface of these applications, you'll notice differences immediately. In Microsoft Word, you're presented with a blank document; in Excel, you're greeted with rows and columns ready for data entry. While you can insert tables into Word documents, this feature is not as central as in Excel, where data organization is essential. In Excel, you can compact large amounts of information into data and calculate using unique formulas. Regarding document handling, you cannot upload a text file directly into Excel as you would in Word. Word also offers spellcheck and grammar tools, which are not as readily available in Excel; you'd need to review your data for errors manually. Word allows formulas, but it lacks the automation Excel provides, where entering a formula can calculate values across an entire column. These are just a few of the unique differences between the two programs. They both have unique functions as it was intended for. Given the type of project you are given, one can be better suited for the task at hand. This is where preferences will be made regarding which application to go with. PowerPoint is another application designed to create visually appealing presentations for projects or department meetings. It allows 3D objects, animations to enhance your presentation, and customizable backgrounds and designs. While it focuses on presentation, you can still add textual information, similar to Word. Additionally, like Word, you can share a link to your presentation so others can access and view your slideshows.

   Understanding Ping and Traceroute Ping and traceroute commands provide unique insights into the path of network messages and the speed of their delivery. The ping command checks if a website is accessible and measures the time it takes to connect. Traceroute, also known as  tracert , outlines the route your messages take through the network to reach another computer.   Defining Ping Ping stands for Packet Internet Groper. It sends a small data packet to a specific IP address, functioning similarly to echolocation by returning information about the packets that were sent, received, or lost, all measured in milliseconds.   Practical Application We can use ping to test connectivity with domains such as yahoo.com, google.com, cnn.com, or even international websites.  For instance, pinging google.com resulted in four packets being sent and  received ,  with no  packet loss.  The round-trip times were approximately 20 milliseconds (ms) minimum, 282 ms maximum, and an average of 123 ms.

Scratch Project

 My experience with Scratch was extremely educational and useful. I found it to be a very understandable programming language. Initially, I had some trouble finding the different tabs that would make my sprite move in the direction I wanted. However, once I figured this out, it was really fun to experiment with different possibilities to alter my sprite’s movements and change its color. I have had some experience with basic Python and coding before, and in comparison, I have found Scratch to be user-friendly, making it much less complex for new users. The Scratch program is excellent for settings where students can learn and develop a basic coding mindset.   Scratch Project  https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1021121622/editor/
