Hi Gr.8's,
This is our last week together. It's hard to believe! As they say, 'Time flies when you're having fun!' Anyway, since it is our last week, it means you absolutely must get your Power Point projects done and handed in to me electronically ASAP! I have to have marks for this report card done by this Wednesday, so you need to get your projects in by Tuesday at the latest! That way I can hopefully get them all marked and your final grades posted by Thursday (also your last day of class since Friday is a non-instructional day)!
If I cannot get the marks posted to you by Thursday, I will put them up in my room for one week, so you can always stop by and have a look. Otherwise, you can wait for your report card I guess! :)
It has been a pleasure teaching you and I wish you all the best of luck with the rest of your CSI 8 course and the rest of the school year. As of next Monday October 22nd you will go directly to your new class and teacher:
Drama 8
Rm A118 (Drama Theatre across from Office)
Ms.Crosby
Good bye and good luck!!!

Hi Class,
Since both this and last Friday's class were interrupted due to the assemblies we had and we have missed our double-block class on Monday, we are a bit behind! This means we really need to work hard on Tuesday and make up for lost time!! I will go over the final skills you will need for your upcoming Power Point project, which includes something really cool called Path Animation! I can't wait to show you this, as it is super fun and really adds a creative flare to your presentation. This will take most of class on Tuesday so you can expect that on Wednesday I will assign you your final Power Point project. More on this in class....
Also, we are just about done the typing tests so aim to finish those this week so I can get the final marks marked and added to your in-class mark!
I look forward to seeing you in class! :)

Hi Gr.8's,
Since Friday's class was taken up for the Gr.8 Indoor Track Meet you will have Monday's double-block to finish your brochure. You are expected to have your brochure printed and handed in. If you are not finished in the classtime provided (you've had a solid week already), then you will have to work on your brochure outside of class time. I suggest using the library computers at lunch to get it done, or take it home on a USB drive and finish for homework. Please note: You MUST have Microsoft Word at home to do this. You cannot use Microsoft Works or Notepad. These programs are not compatible with the school software and so will note open.
This week we will continue our typing tests and technique checks. We will also move on to Excel Spreadsheets and then onto Power Point!
I look forward to seeing you in class!

Hi Gr.8's,
This week we will of course be keyboarding for the first 10-15 minutes of class. However, this week we will also be starting our Typing tests in addition to our daily technique checks! Be sure to use proper technique and focus on accuracy. Remember- you are NOT being marked on speed!
This
week you will continue working on your Brochures for your own store! On Friday I taught you
how to make a realistic coupon. On Tuesday I will teach you how to insert a map to make your faux brochure look real!! This is my
favorite assignment to teach and also to mark, because I am always
impressed by the creativity of my students! :)
As a guideline, you should finish the first page (outside) of your brochure by the end of class on Tuesday and you should be able to finish pg.2 (inside) by Friday. That way you can hand your brochure in to me to be marked by Monday at the latest.
See you in class!

Hi Gr.8's,
This week we will continue with keyboarding practice, only this week I'll be starting TECHNIQUE CHECKS! That's right, now I'll be checking your posture, foot placement, finger placement, etc. so be warned! :P
Last Friday you learned about tables, and as mentioned, you will be creating a Calendar, which is both a fun and practical use of tables. Your calendar should look something like this:
Once you've finished your calendars you can finish working on the mazes you started last week. They will count as an 'in-class activity'.
Have a good week and see you in class!
