1. Darren's Portfolio Presentation Welcome to my learning portfolio presentation. Please feel free to have a look through this progress window where I will update my personal information and learning progress on an ongoing basis. Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. John Wooden

6. Here I have some small samples of what I have been working on. In the Excel sheet on the left, I have started to make a list of a friends movies. On the right I have made a list of trigonometric values, and sheet 2 is a chart for entering coordinate values, and I input formulas for graphing to help me in Applied math 10.

7. Microsoft Word Document and Reflection I have learned an extensive amount of knowledge in Information Processing that I can use in my every day activities as well as in the my career choice. Knowing how to properly prepare documents, spreadsheets, slides, tables and forms, greatly increases my ability to present to the viewer exactly what I am trying to convey in a clear, professional manner. In my career, I will be able to feel confident using various software programs with speed and accuracy, and to stay organized with the tools that I am now learning. I have already noticed a huge difference in the quality of appearance and content in the projects that I have embarked on since last September. As I look back on previous projects that I have done, I can see that I am increasingly progressing, and I am always eager to improve a style that I think people would appreciate.

8. Darren’s leisure time During my spare time I like to stretch my imagination by learning different techniques that software offers, and then use them in my every day life. I like to convert videos, movies, pictures, and use them for other applications… like an upcoming English 10-1 presentation for example.-> Here is a character I made up to have fun with. He’s a dog with dreadlocks, and I get a kick out of getting him anything he wants…he is driving 15 cars, just like Nickelback’s lyrics in this video. Friends of mine get a chuckle after a day of shopping on EBay. LOL
