D5: My Experience with LabSim & IS101

I chose skill 4.2.4, "Word Printing Tips." My experience with using this skill involves my job, where learning how to print documents properly is important. I often have to draft checks and ensure they are printed correctly and at times, I even help compile trial binders as needed, which must be printed perfectly for court. 

Another skill I am familiar with outside of Labsim is 5.6.3, "Add and Average". At my job, I work with multiple cases and compile daily, weekly, and monthly reports. I often use AutoSum and similar formulas in order to compile accurate forms of data needed for my reports.

The school semester for me has been rocky towards the end. However, I do hope to finish IS101-3004 on a positive note. The class has taught me many skills and most of them apply to programs I use day to day that I never knew of before. Taking this course has been such a positive experience over all and I'm excited to apply everything that I've learned here in my life.

My Time In IS101 and Experience With OneDrive Storage

 My first two weeks in IS101 have been relatively positive. The workload hasn't been very difficult to handle and honestly feels like a breather from my other assignments. I've been very fortunate that most of what I've learned so far have been topics that I've known by simply using computers daily. However, I have learned quite a few new things as well! Like how I never knew there was a process for removing a USB from a computer, I never thought there was a 'safe way' to go about it. I've always been the type of person to just remove it without a second thought. 

The skill I picked from Chapter 2 is task 2.3.13 - Applied Lab: Use OneDrive Storage. I'm very familiar with using OneDrive Storage as it is necessary for my job. At work, files are constantly being uploaded, edited, and shared within the OneDrive. It makes it very simple for on-the-go tasks for the Attorneys and gives me the option to work from home if I must be away from my desk for long periods. I also use OneDrive for my personal devices as I have a desktop computer as well as a laptop that I use when I'm on the go.
