6th:

Anti-Virus Software Programs made to discover and destroy all types of computer viruses.


Take a few minutes to get ready for today's test. If you studied your notes over the weekend you will have no problem. When you are finished you can make up any work that you owe or you can select one of the videos below to watch until the end of class (you will need headphones).

Hans Rosling: How data is cool. Think of your little Excel charts. Will you be ready to use data like this. This guy is fun to listen to.

Jeff Han: How displays will change. This would profoundly change how we use computers.

John Maeda: A smart, funny guy talks about simplicity. Think about how simplicity is the driving force in design (hint: iPods).

Nicholas Negroponte: Would you spend your life on a project that helps others? Does listening to the originator of the idea change your vision of this program?

Theo Jansen: Freaky. Mind-blowing. But pay attention. What is life? Can you make something that lives out of PVC pipe? He does. Cyborg alert!

Blaise Aguero y Arcos: Demonstrates Photosynth. Wow. The Notre Dame cathedral thing is amazing. Can you think of ways you could use this software?

Anand Agarawala: The BumpTop desktop. Certainly a different set-up! Would this help you search your photographs?


7th: Today in class I would like you to read the following article about files and folders. Mrs. Martin has a handout I would like you to complete. When you are finished you may view some of the videos from above.

8th: (take out your homework from the weekend) Today is going to be a catch up day. If you owe any work you can work on that. If you are behind in class you can work on catching up. If you are all caught up you can edit music, add to your products page, change your logo/buttons, work on your scratch (add audio, make it run smoother, etc.) Everyone should be doing something!
