Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

It may seem hard to believe, but we only have 18 days of school left before we leave for Christmas break (that's assuming we don't have any snow days).  It will go by fast!  My hope for each one of you is that you end the semester on a good note - work hard to improve your grade in the last 3 and a half weeks!

We are jumping right back into our routine - this week we have vocab list #9 (Multimedia/Graphics) - the quiz over these words will be this Friday (Dec. 2nd).  Remember, you created your account on Wikispaces and should have your username and password saved in Google Docs.  If not, I can find out what your username is, but I don't have any clue on what your password is.  Here is this week's list of students who are responsible for defining the 11 vocab words on Wikispaces:

3rd hour:  KatieB, AustinG, TristanJ, AlexaM, ElizabethP
4th hour:  BenettE, AllyssaF, LillyH, AndrewL, TateN, PiageO
6th hour:  DaltonC, SethC, BenC, DevonM, MarshallR, ReneeT
7th hour:  ScottF, FrejaH, AJM, AutumnS, AlexW
8th hour:  SydneyH, LukeJ, DavyenM, KeeganM, ReneeR


For today, if you did not complete FA8 (check back to Thursday's blogpost for the directions on completing this assignment), you need to get it done first.  It should be emailed to me.  Once you have completed this, check the board to see if you have any missing assignments.  If so, get them done in the remaining time.

If you are all caught up on your work, then I have several things I want you to work on.  I will give you a handout that you can type.  You'll need to type the entire handout in Word - this will give you some review practice in keying.  Then, I want you to grab the green, keypad practice sheet and key it in Excel (there is no need to save either one of these - you are doing this for practice).

Once you complete these I will allow you to work in Alice.  What I would like for you to do in Alice is try to include the "Do in order" or "Do together" or one of the other methods that are located at the bottom of the Editor area.  These allow you to make some very interesting actions for your characters.
