Monday

Students:
I will not be at school on Monday. My uncle's funeral is at 11:00.  Please be on your best behavior. If you didn't turn in your newsletter on Friday you need to do that then do today's assignment. There are newsletter handouts in the back of the room by the pencil sharpener if you need the handout.

Your assignment:

Open Microsoft Word.
Click No Spacing
Change your Font Size to 12
Change the Font to Courier New
Find the Icon on the Home Ribbon for Line Spacing...it has two blue arrows. One pointing up & one down.
Change line spacing to 2.0
Follow the directions on the handout for creating a heading and typing the report.

TURN IN TO MOODLE WHEN DONE.

Then you may play Cool Math Games.

Please remember your manners.

Thanks,
Mrs. Hughes

Cyber Saftey

We are starting our first project.  Your topic is Cyber Safety.  We talked briefly about this the first week of school. We discuss what advice you would give to someone about being safe on the Internet.  You will create a PowerPoint on this topic.

You have a handout on the computer to assist you with the project.  In addition, under Resources there are several links where you can gather information and include in the Project.  Remember to cite your sources.  In other words, either on the slide you give the website or at the end of you presentation you cite your source.  We must practice correct digital citizenship.

The project is due on Friday.  It must be uploaded to Moodle.  We will discuss on Wednesday how to upload an assignment to Moodle.

Today we will review the basics of PowerPoint.  If you attended school here last year, you should be familiar with how to create a Presentation. I will give you my expectation of how a PowerPoint should be created.

Requirments:
  • 6 to 8 slides
  • One background design
  • No red, green or blue lines
  • Keep information Short & Sweet...to the point...no paragraphs
  • Use bulleted lists to state the information
  • Add animation to words
  • Add clip art that relates to the topic of the slide
