As you continue to work towards completion of your project, please remember that you should be making an effort to accomplish all of the goals that are listed in the rubric. I have embedded the rubric below so you can again look to see what it is that you should be trying to accomplish in your video (remember that this is also at the bottom of the Internet safety page on the blog).
Additionally, I have posted every vocabulary word on the class wikispaces page. So you can now go and post the definitions to all of your vocabulary words, no matter what week they are due. At this point, there should be absolutely no reason for you not to have your vocabulary definitions posted by the time its due to be posted.

Identity Theft video; Internet Safety project
IDENTITY THEFT
Today you will again be working on your Internet Safety project with your partner. You should be busy the entire hour completing the project.
We do not have a vocab quiz this week. In fact, we don't have another vocab quiz until the week of October 21st (that's still 3 weeks away from this Friday). As soon as I have the vocab words posted on the wiki spaces page I'll let you know.

Internet Safety video; work on project
CHOOSING QUALITY PASSWORDS:
After watching the above video you will be given time to work with your partner on your Internet Safety project. Please make sure you are working towards completing your project by this Friday.
Additionally, believe it or not the 1st Quarter is quickly coming to a close. Next Friday, October 11th, is the last day of the 1st Quarter. I would highly recommend that you get any missing work submitted (not just in my class but all classes) so you can avoid having zeroes as part of your averaged grade. As we have already talked about - zeroes kill your average!

Vocab quiz #4; Internet Safety project
Today we will take vocab quiz #4. I have to admit I was extremely disappointed with the number of individuals who did not post their definitions to the wikispaces page. Remember, this is a graded activity, and you cannot make up the points you miss if you don't post your words. Everyone knows what words they have and what week their words need to be posted - it should just be a simple matter of you posting them.
After the quiz today we will go through a few things on Go Animate, then you'll have time to work with your partner on your Internet Safety project.

Internet Safety; Go Animate!
STEERING CLEAR OF CYBER TRICKS:
Copy and paste vs. cut and paste
Software vs. program
File extensions
I will also be taking some time today to show you how to use Go Animate! - the website you will be using to create your video. The important thing with the website is that you remember that you are working with a deadline - if you spend all of your time playing with all of the different possibilities on the website you're going to end up not getting your project done on time. I understand the want to look at all of the different possibilities that are available, because the website is really cool - just remember you're working on a project here.

Internet Safety video; Learn 3, 6, and 2; vocab posting; research
Staying Safe Online:
We will learn the 3 (L2), the 6 (R1), and the 2 (L3) on the keyboard today. After this we will be done with learning numbers on the alpha-numeric part of the keyboard - yeah!
You will be doing more research today for your Internet Safety video project. I will try to have a short demonstration ready for how to use the website that we will use for the video creation by tomorrow.
Lastly, if you have vocab words you need to define those must be posted on the Wikispaces page by tonight - please make sure to get this done!

Numbers 5 & 7; working on Internet Safety project
Before we begin working on our Internet Safety project today, we are going to continue with learning the numbers on the keyboard. Today we are going to learn the 5 (L1) and the 7 (R1). If you turn to page 30 we'll start with a warmup of the other numbers we've already learned before we learn these two new numbers.
After the numbers you'll be given time to get with your partner and start researching for your Internet Safety project. Unfortunately, as I found out this morning, Xtranormal is no longer an active website. So, I've got another website that will work but I want to go through that website to see how it is different and if it will work for us.

Vocab quiz; Internet Safety project
We will begin with taking several minutes to review for the vocab quiz (Vocab Quiz #3 - Windows). After reviewing we will take the quiz.
Then, we will begin working on our Internet Safety project project by joining another website - this one is called Xtranormal. Here is an example of what Geico has done, using Xtranormal, to create a TV advertisement:
You will be working with a partner to complete this project, so the first priority will be to find someone you trust to work with. Groups must consist of only 2 people!
As a group you will be researching information on Internet Safety. You may use Google to do your research, or you may use the many websites that are on the Internet Safety page on the class blog. You will need to compile your information with your partner, and then you will create a story/animated movie using Xtranormal that will explain what you have learned about Internet Safety.

Learn numbers 8 and 1
Today we begin learning the numbers on the alpha-numeric part of the keyboard. These require long reaches from all fingers...thus using proper technique will be very important! Today's lesson has us learning the 8 (R2) and the 1 (L4).
As a reminder, anyone who is responsible for defining words on the wiki spaces page needs to get that done by tonight!

Learn CAPS LOCK, question mark, TAB, apostrophe, hyphen, and quotation marks
Today we are going to try and get through 6 new keys. Normally we wouldn't try to do so much in one day, but since all of these keys are keys that don't get used very often I feel like we can get them done in one day without losing a lot long term. All of these keys will be keyed with the little fingers - two will require the use of the left shift key.
CAPS LOCK - used to key a series of capital letters (remember, the shift keys are used to key a single capital letter - there is a difference!)
? (question mark) - used at the end of a sentence asking a question (space twice after the question mark)
TAB (L4) - used to move the cursor to a preset position on the line of writing (hit your tab key - you'll see that your cursor moves 5 spaces to the right every time you hit it - that is the preset position)
APOSTROPHE - used to make contractions, such as it's, you're, we're, and so on.
HYPHEN - used to hyphenate words
QUOTATION MARKS - used to mark the beginning and ending of a quote
