RSS feeds; Formatting Activity 6

This video explains what an RSS feed is.  Many of you probably have not heard of this, but these are a great way to easily get updated information from a favorite website or blog that you follow or that you visit often.  An RSS feed is like an electronic magazine subscription.  This video does a very good job of explaining it:

Just a reminder ... tomorrow is a vocab quiz.  Those of you who did not post vocab definitions, there is no need at this point.  The words that you were supposed to define have already been defined.  

If you have not yet completed the Logo quiz you can finish that in class today.  Please make sure that you are working on this on your own.  Let the sub know if you are not done and they will make sure to get you your sheet of paper.  Don't take too much time - you have other work that needs to get done.

Today you are going to work on Formatting Activity 6.  The instructions for Formatting Activity 6 are in printed form.  As usual, follow the instructions step-by-step.  Everything you need to know to complete this formatting activity correctly is in the instructions. Once you have completed the formatting activity you will hand it in to the tray on my desk.  Make sure you have filename and path (do not write your name on your paper!).

After completing the formatting activity, do the following in Word:

P. 41, 17C, lines 1-9 once
P. 41, 17D, lines 1-6 once
P. 42, 18B, lines 1-6 once (type the # with right shift + L2; type the & with left shift + R1)

If you complete this you may go to the following websites for practice (or any of the ones on the website resources page:

Fast Fingers
Type Racer - kind of cool...you get to compete against others online

Don't forget to review tonight for the vocab quiz tomorrow!
