With that in mind, we only have 4 weeks of school to accomplish quite a bit. We will be learning a new program (called Alice) that will help you to understand what a computer programmer goes through (this program is more modern than Logo and I think you will find it more interesting to use), we have 3 vocab quizzes in the next 4 weeks (Vocab quiz #8 is this Friday), we will learn to key using the keypad, you are going to create a podcast and embed it on your blog, and we still have several formatting activities to complete.
The first thing I want to get done this week is the learning of the symbol keys, so we will start today in Microsoft Word. Turn to page 41 and type the paragraph on 17E once to get warmed up.
Then we will be moving over to page 42 to learn the # (right shift + L2), the & (left shift + R1), and the + (left shift + R4).
After learning these keys we are going to watch the video below that will help you understand one of the vocab words for this week - embed.
After learning these keys I am going to show you how you can embed an image into your blog. This will be important for 2 reasons - 1) because you are going to have to include an image with your journal reflections from now on; and 2) because you are going to complete a formatting activity that will require you to embed an image on your blog.
Before you can embed an image you first must have an image on your computer that you are going to use. So, the first step will be to correctly save an image to your computer so we can then embed it on your blog.
