• The website at the top of this page has all the class information you will need.

• The week is broken down along with other links for you to check out.

• We will explain more and become more comfortable with this concept all week.

The Week• Start at 8:30 (I will be here and available for any

help you need starting at 8:00)• We will have a brief 15 minute break before

lunch• Lunch 12:00 – 1:00 (1:00 – 1:30) will be available

lab time• Most days we will end by 3:30• Friday is only a ½ day and class will end by noon• My intention is to provide enough class time

and work time so you will not need time outside of class to complete any assignments

Life Before the Computer (Mindsets)• Memory was something you lost with age• An application was for employment• A program was a TV show• A cursor used profanity• A keyboard was a piano• A web was a spider’s home• A virus was the flu• A CD was a bank account• A hard drive was a long road trip• A mouse pad is where a mouse lived

• You will be registering at MANY websites…be sure to either remember or write down usernames and passwords!

• Begin to consider computer/internet applications that you can bring into your classroom from this class– You will create accounts to store websites for future

reference– You may want to bring a jump drive/flash drive to

class to save work or transport photos or documents from home or school to this class

– Your grade will be based on the completion of those types of exercises

Grading• Using a wiki created in PBWorks, students will

participate in online discussions– These usually involve a brief post of your own along

with a brief comment on someone else’s post

• Students will create four different projects and present one website/web application to the class– A Wordle– An Animoto– A Glog– A Basic Webquest
