Agenda for Thursday, April 3, 2014 and Friday, April 4, 2014:
  • When you finish your drawing assignment, turn it in to Edmodo. Remember: I'm expecting you to have A LOT of small pictures (at least 20) so do not turn it in until you have enough.
  • If you get finished, you can either play On Your Own Coast to Coast OR NitroType.
Agenda for Wednesday, April 2, 2014:
  • I am still missing facts from a few of you. 
  • When you finish your drawing assignment, turn it in to Edmodo. Remember: I'm expecting you to have A LOT of small pictures (at least 20) so do not turn it in until you have enough.
  • If you get finished, you can either play On Your Own Coast to Coast OR NitroType.
Agenda for Tuesday, April 1, 2014:
  • TURN IN YOUR RESEARCH TO THE PADLET NOW!! If you do not turn it in today, it will be considered late and you will have 10 points per day taken away from your grade on this assignment.
  • Continue with your career drawing assignment in Word if you have turned in your facts. Remember: I am looking for A LOT of small pictures (SHAPES ONLY - no ClipArt OR pictures from the internet) on 1 page with a title that tells me which career you researched. See post from yesterday for more specific information. 
Agenda for March 31, 2014:
  • Please make sure you turn in your research ASAP if you haven't done so yet. It should be uploaded to the padlet for your class (drag/drop the file). Here are the Padlet Links again:

    7B PADLET FOR BCS CAREERS

  • Once you are finished with your research, complete this part of the assignment:
    Using SHAPES ONLY, create SMALL pictures that represent all of the information you have learned about your career. Be as CREATIVE as possible and fill as much of the space on the page as possible. Remember: There are formatting options that you can change for each shape. You can use text boxes to label pictures ONLY. You may use WordArt for the Title ONLY. Here are some examples that some former students did on an academic subject:
    SCIENCE EXAMPLE     MATH EXAMPLE
  • Turn this in to the Assignment in Edmodo when you are finished. This is not due until Friday so please make sure you take your time and put forth LOTS of effort if you want to get a good grade. Thanks!
Agenda for March 28, 2014:
  • Before you get started with anything else today, every student needs to go to this link and take this survey: AdvancED Student Survey Please take this seriously!
    Come and tell me as soon as you are finished taking it so I can check you off on my list. Thanks!
  • If you have not tested out of the typing program, please come and see me.
  • Continue with the Research you started yesterday (directions in yesterday's agenda). To turn that in: save the file as YOURNAME and then drag and drop the file from the folder on your computer to the padlet wall for your class. The file will become a post within the padlet wall.

  • If you have not tested out, you need to try to do that ASAP today. Remember: The goal for 7th graders is to have at least 25 NET wpm.
  • Then, we are going to start a new project on Careers in Business & Computer Science. 
  • To begin, please go to GA College 411 and pick a career in the Business and Computer Science field. So that no one picks the same career, please put your choice on the padlet for your class as soon as you make a decision. The password is on the board:
