https://www.commonsensemedia.org/video/educators
Today we'll be watching a series of videos on cyberbullying. As we're going through the videos and discussions, jot down any words that you think relate to cyberbullying in a Word document. Once we're done, you'll take your compiled list of words and enter them into http://www.tagxedo.com/. To receive full credit you need at least 15 words in your collage and you have to edit the font/design. You must show me your word collage before the end of class.

Monday and Tuesday, June 8 and 9, 2015 ~ Excel Practice
Open up the file below called 7th grade practice. This is practice of everything that we've covered so far in Excel. You should be able to complete everything independently unless you were absent one of the days we covered it, in which case you are allowed to ask a neighbor for help. The assignment name is "practice" so save accordingly (hour, your first and last name, assignment name). Submit to email or Dropbox when done. If anyone finishes early make a choice from the What Can I Do Now file - it is not free time!

Wednesday and Thursday, June 3 and 4, 2015 ~ Tech Vocab!
Download the file found below. You will be looking up on any appropriate site, the definitions of these words. Make sure that you are looking up the correct definition for computers, technology, or computer science as many of the words will have multiple meanings. Make sure you write the definition in your own words - no copying and pasting or you'll receive a zero! Also, for words like URL, WWW, HTML, anything with an acronym you need to include both what the acronym is and what the definition is. Follow the directions at the top of the file for saving information!

March 24 - May 15, 2015 Goal: 90% Accuracy, 30 WPM
CO: I will demonstrate application of the proper typing techniques by physically showing them throughout the hour as my teacher observes.
LO: I can orally explain one of the five typing techniques using content specific vocabulary (homerow position, posture, wrist and feet placement, monitor, technique, proper). March 24 - April 17, 2015 ~ Typing Basics: Open the following link. https://strongcomputers.typingclub.com/ Your username is your ID number and your password is whatever you changed it to the first day we logged in. Remember to make sure that you are practicing the 5 typing techniques: homerow position, posture, feet placement, wrist placement, and eye placement! You will be completing lessons 1 - 100 in the Typing Basics using the TypingClub website. For the first 35 lessons the focus will be on accuracy. After that they will start having you focus more on speed. Check the calendar on the homepage for due dates! April 20 - May 5, 2015 ~ Word: For the next two weeks we're going to make your brain think a little differently than it has on typing since we started. You'll be completing 13 typing lessons in Microsoft Word so you'll start with a blank document and won't have the keyboard on your monitor like in TypingClub. Each day you'll be assigned at least one new typing lesson. You'll find the lessons in numbered folders over on the table beneath the chalkboard. You'll type up each lesson in a blank Word document, matching the content on each row. Each assignment name will just be the number that it is. For example, if I'm in fifth hour, assignment one would be saved as 5 Mrs. Henderson 1. Remember to always save with the correct format (hour, first and last name, assignment name). Submit to my Dropbox (password = strong) as you finish with each lesson. May 5 - May 15, 2015 ~ Intermediate: You'll be completing a series of intermediate lessons in TypingClub! You'll have to complete two lessons a day to stay on track. Remember that for these lessons the accuracy is 90% and the speed goal is 35 wpm! |
