KWLQ Framework

K (What I already know)

I was previously taught how to use Microsoft Word and Powerpoint. Through using these two tools for my homework, my skills for these two softwares are quite functional and I have no problems using them to complete my work on my own.

W (What I want to learn)

I am quite weak in IT, and past experiences with previous teachers in my Diploma classes have not allowed me to enjoy IT nor master anything past the functional use of Microsoft Word and Powerpoint. For the lessons to come, I would like to better learn how to use Microsoft Excel and other relevant softwares for my work. With Excel, I don't really know how to use equations to link up the data so that I do not have to key them in one by one. Next to that, I hope I can learn the use of softwares that will help me with my work.

L (What I learned)

I learned how to use Smartart and also make use of the artistic effects available in Powerpoint, and also to embed a video from YouTube. I also learned to mark an animation path on Powerpoint. I also learned how to filter data using Excel, as well as include a sparkline for the data available.

Q (What questions I still have)

I had difficulties following the instructions that was given to me. I wonder if the instructions given can be more specific and step-by-step so that I know where to find the various icons. This way I will not have to wait around for my friends to try it out when I am unclear about things.
