Finish Internet Safety project

The Internet Safety project should be completed today in class (exception - 8th hour).  Maybe what I should say is that today is the last day of class that you will be allowed to work on your project.  In other words, I won't make the project due until Wednesday (midnight - you'll be sending me a link), but you're not going to get anytime on Tuesday in class to work on the project.  That means that if you and your partner are not yet done you could use before school, Homeroom, lunch recess, REAL (if you have it), or a short amount of time after school to work on and try to complete your project.  Remember, do not publish your movie until you are absolutely certain that you have included everything you want, made all the necessary adjustments needed, and the movie is exactly how you want it.

This will be a busy week in this class.  In addition to finishing the Internet Safety project, this will be the first week of vocabulary, and on Friday of this week you will have a vocabulary quiz.  If you go to the class blog and look at the pages listed across the top of the home page, you will find one that is labeled Vocabulary.  When you go to this page on the blog you will find all the information you will need (except definitions - more on this in a little bit) for the vocabulary for this semester.  First, find your hour, then look at the spreadsheet to figure out what weeks you will be responsible for defining words (the weeks are listed across the top of the spreadsheet).  The person responsible for organizing the group of people for each week and deciding who is going to define which words is highlighted in yellow (or their X is highlighted in yellow).  

The words for each week can be located at the bottom of the Vocabulary page and you'll see the list of vocabulary words.  At the top of this "box" there are two arrows - click the right arrow to move forward, the left arrow to move back.  The list is in order; in other words List #1 will be the words that are defined for the first week of vocabulary (which is this week), List #2 will be the words for next week, and so on.  Remember, we don't have a vocabulary list every week so check the date at the top of the list under your hour so you know what week you are responsible for defining words.

As for defining words, remember, these are all computer-related words, so definitions should be appropriate for computers.  In other words, "MOUSE" is one of the words for this week - if you are the one responsible for defining this your definition should not be "small, grey rodent that eats cheese".

Lastly, words should be defined no later than Wednesday.  That gives everyone in your class Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to review.  You will earn points for completing these definitions - if you do not do your part for the rest of the class then your grade will reflect that.
