Thursday, Sept. 22

1. If you are supposed to define words for this week you MUST come in during lunch!!  Others are relying on you to help them, just as you did last week or will in the future.  This is a group effort, so you must pull your weight and help everyone!  Those who do not do their job will lose points (if you are scheduled for this week and you haven't done anything yet you've already lost some points).  
2. If you haven't posted your response and 2 replies to Edmodo for this week's discussion, you need to do so by Friday, Sept. 23 at midnight.  Here is the discussion prompt again:
What do you feel is the most important aspect of Internet safety? Why? Explain your answer in detail.

3. Review all keys learned (practice! practice! practice!)
4. Today we will do our first speed test.  This will not be for a grade, but will help you in determining where you are at, and probably more importantly where you should be.  These are not something to get stressed out about, but if you are not performing technique correctly then you can expect your times to be slower than those who do perform technique correctly.  Of course, that's not true for everyone - but for the overwhelming majority doing things correctly means that you will have better times over the long haul. 
5. Create a folder in your account and label it Computer Applications.  This is part of what is called File Maintenance, which means to organize your files so that you can find your information.  Learning how to correctly save is also part of File Maintenance.
6. We will start learning today how to format in Microsoft Word.  We will cover the following topics:  changing fonts, changing font sizes, changing the justification of information in Word, highlighting words in color, changing the font color, Bold, Italicize, Underline, bulleted lists, numbered lists, increase indent, decrease indent, undo, and redo.  The formatting activity is located at the bottom of this post.
7. Don't forget - Vocab quiz tomorrow!!
