  When comparing Word, Excel, and Presentation for a journal entry each of them has their own pros and cons. I believe it's up to the person using each program which one they prefer and easier for them to use.                 The functions in Word are basic to use. When changing font, size, or color, all can be found in the home tab and easy to click on. When it comes to aligning or formatting it could be a little more challenging but easy to fix if you know exactly what to do. The advantages of using Word are that it is very user-friendly, there are many formatting options, the ability to use spell and grammar checks, and there are templates to choose from when creating a document.

  My experience with using Scratch was as simplified as possible because this was my first time using it. The tutorials helped me build a story. After watching a few tutorials, I got started on a princess story so that I could build on it in the weeks ahead. Using the drag and drop was a lot harder than it seemed as you must pay attention to the details of positions and timing and if you use the backdrops when to switch them. In any case, the program was fun to use. The difficulties I encountered using Scratch were to position the Sprite, for example, which way was it facing, was it going to be layered behind or in front of the other sprites, or did I need to position it higher or lower to show a face-to-face conversation. The other difficulty was the timing of the conversation. How many seconds was it going to take for each character to say their sentence and when it was time to switch backgrounds and add another sprite how many seconds between them was it going to take.
