Vocab quiz

At the beginning of class I will be giving you a few minutes to review the words for this week.  You may go to your class' wikispaces page and review the vocab words that your classmates have entered for the quiz.

Once you have been given several minutes to study, you'll be taking the quiz.  Do NOT go to Classmarker until you are told to do so!  Once you get to Classmarker, login, and then you may begin taking the quiz.  When you are done you must make sure to click on the Finish Now button.  You will then be asked to confirm that you are ready to finish, so you will need to click on Confirm Finish Now if you want your test scored. 

After completing the quiz you need to go to your blog and post on your blog your reflection for this week.  Remember, a reflection is your thoughts about what has occurred in class this week - good or bad.  You should have at a minimum one paragraph, but with everything that we have done this week it should be very easy to come up with 2 or 3 paragraphs of information.  This is to be entered on your Journal page, and I am suggesting that your format for your journal looks as follows:
"Week 1:
I really enjoyed this week - we were able to create our own blog ......
Week 2:
This week I learned about Internet Safety and how to .....
 Week 3:
We registered on two new websites this week and learned that in Google Docs....."
If you haven't entered a reflecton for Weeks 1 and 2 now would be a good time to get those done (you can always go back to the class blog and look and see what we did those weeks).  If you haven't created a blog yet you will need to do that ASAP (if you want to ask a person sitting next to you to help you that would be fine - but no moving around the room.  When you create your blog make sure that you write down the web address to your blog so that you know where it is located.). Then you'll need to create a new post and enter your journal reflections for weeks 1-3.  If this is too confusing, see me Monday morning and I'll help you get it off the ground and running.

Once you are done with the quiz and the posting of your reflection on your blog, you need to close the Internet and open Word.  Key the following while remembering the technique skills we have already discussed:

  1. Type lines 1-10 once in Section 4C on page 9.
  2. Type lines 1-3 twice in Section 4D on page 10. To type the U key you will use your right index finger and reach from the J key to the U key.
  3. Type lines 4-6 twice in Section 4D on page 10.  To type the C key you will use your left middle finger and reach from the D key down to the C key.  Remember, when you reach down to the bottom row you are reaching down and to the right; also if you move your fingers on the left hand down to the bottom row you will see that your middle finger rests on the C key.  That's why you use your middle finger on the C.
  4. If you complete those lines choose 3 lines from Section 4E on page 10.  Hold down the Command key and hit the F3 key - now try and type those 3 lines perfectly while the document is off of your screen. 
  5. If you get all of this done you can go to the following website:  Typing Tutor.  Continue practicing your keying.
