6th:  Today's vocabulary word is CPU.  A CPU is the Central Processing Unit in your computer.  It's what makes your computer work.  Today we will continue our detective work using keyboard shortcuts.  We will be having a quiz on this material within the next couple of weeks.

7th:  Today in class we will continue to work on our Inspiration webs that we started on Wednesday.  If you need a refresher on Inspiration check out the YouTube channel which has some short tutorials.  I have decided to give you an extra class to work on the webs so you will have Wednesday's class of next week as well.  I will let you know when those should be finished.  Remember to include all of the following information.

8th:  Time for some action!  Today we get started writing our podcast scripts.  To get started you will be reading a short article about what to consider when writing your scripts.  Also, you can take a look at the rubric for the assignment so you will know what to include in your script.  Have a look at the list of what makes a podcast a "good" podcast.  You will have two time blocks in school to write your script and also time outside of school.  Don't forget that we will be having a quiz on Wednesday of next week on Podcasts.  The review guide will be the answers that I gave to you in Wednesday's blog entry.  You should also know some of the characteristics that make a podcast "good".
