Week18: May 13th–May 17th

Highlights for the week: 

• View the BMS Public Calendar for this weeks events!
• Tip: Use ctrl+F and enter the date (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) to jump quickly to the Blog entry for today!
• Some notes for Parents/Guardians who view this Blog:
  • Everything we do in this class is listed on this Blog (so students who are absent can easily find what they’ve missed and even complete it while they are absent!)
  • Nearly every assignment can be completed at home or anywhere with an internet connection (use the Paint program or a Google Drawing rather than ‘Interwrite’ where you see it on this Blog)
  • Friday’s are makeup days so students who have trouble completing assignments have this extra time every week to get caught up!
  • You can see examples of every project we do at this Public Examples Folder Link

1. Please check your laptop for damages and report problems to me!
2. Due to the Network issues which we had Friday, I’ve decided to move our 6.3 Positive Personality Glog project out of 6th Progress Reports... it will now be due at the end of the semester along with our final project so you will have more time on your own to complete it.
3. Here’s what your 103 student folder should look like: (view example folder here)

3. Begin our final project which will help us remember the things we’ve done in this class and will let us explore some new things which we haven’t seen or done before. This should be a fun, easy project as long as you keep up with it and don’t try to create it at the last minute!

   • Each day of our last remaining work days in this class we will add 2 slides to the project
     • A Review slide showing a program which we’ve learned about in this class which has these things on it:
       1. The name of the program
       2. A link to the program
       3. An example of something new which you will make with the program
     • A New slide showing a website, program or activity which we haven’t explored before which has these things on it:
       1. The name of the new website, program or activity
       2. A link to it
       3. A picture related to it
       4. Your personal rating of the program (1 to 5 stars) along with some sort of positive comment about it
