ICT

The computer is a part of my everyday life. I use computer to check my e-mail, to communicate with my friends, to read news or find material for my schoolwork. When it comes to programs I use often Microsoft Word, sometimes Powerpoint and Paint. But Excel is the hardest for me because I do not use it and I have forgotten the things I have learned.
I hope that the educational technology lesson gives me a good experience and skills to create attractive worksheets and know how to use different programs in my future lessons.
