 I learned a lot about different functions on PowerPoint through this assignment. I had never made different shapes into buttons before, which could be fun to incorporate into other assignments for another class or further into the future. I also learned how to turn off linear navigation, which could prove helpful in the future. I thought this assignment helped me become more comfortable and skilled in PowerPoint. It helped prepare me for a task I'd encounter often as a teacher. One problem I faced was that this assignment was quite tedious. At least for the Jeopardy game, creating all of the questions and then adding in the buttons took a long time. I also wasn't as efficient as I could have been, so I learned how to approach this differently in the future. It also took me a while to work out animations because they wouldn't work by simply clicking the screen. Once I found out how to change the trigger for the animations, I was fine. I'll remember this for the future.

I am thinking of becoming a lawyer in the future. I think data collection could be helpful when getting feedback from my clients about their experiences. Also, I could use it to get feedback from coworkers under my direction to hear their feedback. I might also use data collection if planning an office party to see what the other members of the office would be interested in.

I would like to become sufficient in my navigability of Excel. I would like to know the basic necessary skills used in Excel within the next year. This goal will be useful in other classes and probably in my future career. Being able to use Excel also helps with extracurricular projects that require creating charts or graphs as a visual element.
