GPS; Embedding your movie on your blog; practice

Tomorrow is the second vocab quiz - this list (like the first) is also over  a series of words that are all related to HARDWARE.  There are several words that I would like to talk about - many of you may not know what they are.  First, to explain what GPS is we will watch the following video:


In addition to GPS, I want to quickly discuss SERVER and ROUTER.  To help understand SERVER, here is an image that may help you:
The following image shows a ROUTER; more than likely many of you have something very similar to this at home:

After discussing the vocabulary, we will sign the rubric sheets and hand them in.  Please make sure that everyone's name in your group is listed on your rubric sheet.

Next, we I will show you how to embed your Xtranormal video on your blog.   This process requires you to have your Blog open in one tab and your Xtranormal movie open in another tab, so make sure you have at least 2 tabs open.

Once you have embedded your movie on your blog, one of the members of your group needs to email me (from your Gmail account) a link to one person's blog so I can watch the movie from your blog.  I will grade your movie by watching from your blog.  For those who have issues with the Xtranormal points and who have not been able to publish your movie, you will need to send me your Username and Password for Xtranormal so I can login to your account and watch your movie to grade it.

When you finish embedding your movie and sending me a link, you need to learn the Left Shift Key and the period.
Left Shift Key - you use the left shift key to type capital letters with the right hand.  Therefore, you will hold down the left shift key with your left little finger (L4) as you type the letter with the right hand that you want to capitalize.
Period - use your right ring finger (R3).  Space twice after a period at the end of a sentence; space once after a period used at the end of an abbreviation (for example, Dr. Smith)

Type the following:
P. 9, 4B, lines 1-6 twice
P. 9, 4C, lines 1-10 once
