Before we get into what we're doing today in class I have a couple of informational items that need to be shared. First, last week we watched a video on the History of the Internet, and several of you missed that day and consequently missed the quiz over the video. In order to make sure everyone gets their quizzes back in a timely manner I need to have everyone take the quiz by this Friday. If you do not take the quiz by this Friday you will receive a zero for a grade.
Secondly, I am going to implement a new policy in class that requires you to keep your speed skin on the keyboard. Every time I see you keying without your speed skin on your keyboard you are going to lose 10% of the assignment you are working on. So, if you are caught 3 times during a formatting activity with your speed skin off the keyboard the best grade you can hope to get on that particular formatting activity would be a 70%.
On to today's class activity….
To start with we are going to discuss the differences in computer memory. On the vocabulary list for this week is byte and GB - we'll talk about those two and many other different sizes of computer memory. After today you should be able to go home and impress mom and dad with how much you know about computer memory!
Additionally we will be finishing FA6 - it needs to be printed out and handed in. Make sure that you accomplish all of the assignment instructions before handing in.
Lastly, if you have vocab definitions for this week those need to be posted on the wiki spaces page by tonight!
