EXPLANATION OF USE:
Above I have included a graphic that I can use in a classroom setting. This is a graphic that explains the different buttons and characteristics of Microsoft Excel. I could use this in the classroom to introduce the students to the important features of Microsoft Excel. This would allow me to show my students visually while I verbally speak to them, that way I can reach more students learning techniques while teaching. I could later blank out the text and turn this graphic into a quiz for the students.

When creating my blog I considered using Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher, and Paint. I decided to create my graphic using a copied picture and inserting it into Microsoft Publisher. I then inserted my arrows and text boxes. Once completing that I grouped all the images together to create one image, I then copied this image and pasted it into Paint. Once in paint I saved the image as bitmap image. I then used that way of saving the image to upload it into my blog. When using Microsoft Publisher I could not save my graphic as an image that is why I had to copy and paste it into paint, so that it would save as a bitmap image instead of a file.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FILE:
My graphic is 1.81 MB in size.
When clicking the file it will open in Paint.
