The version of my day Microsoft Word was about a 500-word story describing my day. I could probably go on and on listing the details of every event of my day, but I wanted to keep it short. I could have added a table with the schedule of events, but I felt that was more for the Excel portion of this assignment.
Using Microsoft Excel, one day in my life was made very brief and concise. There is no story here. It is just the details of the hours that I spend on each of these activities. If every day of my life was like this, it would be all work and no play. I could have used the table that I created here in my Word document. The table and the pie chart would have been nice graphics in my PowerPoint presentation as well.
I created my PowerPoint presentation as if I were discussing my day in front of a group. I tried to be fairly short on my text as I would tell a story similar to that written in my Word document. I think that the focus of a PowerPoint should be graphics with brief descriptions in text. I was limited in what I could use here for graphics because we are not allowed to take pictures at work. The pictures that I did use were from a government website. I tried to make the PowerPoint tell a story, but if I were presenting it, I would give many more details.
I have used all three of these programs many times in the past. It has been a while since I have used PowerPoint. I think this was a great exercise in using these three programs and how differently the three can be used to tell the same story. I have never thought about using Excel to tell a story of one day in my life, but I think that the pie chart would be a very nice touch. Personally, I would want to use something between the Word version and the PowerPoint version.
