Welcome Back

Welcome back!!!  If you somehow managed to figure out the new schedule here at SMS then you have officially passed the first test of the year.  Maybe you can actually explain it to me when you get a chance   : )  Moving on, I am truly excited to get the school year underway and I'm sure you feel exactly the same way [insert eye rolling here].  Two years ago, I was moved from this course into a 6th grade social studies classroom and I have been itching to get back ever since.  This semester marks the day of my return and for some of you the second time that you have had the pleasure of being in my class.  I hope that you are ready to learn because I have quite a lot to teach you about computers and the way that you use them.  So what's up with this site?  This is actually the starting point for class everyday and you will find all of the information (e.g. assignments, handouts, homework, study guides) that you will need for class here.  To get started I would like you to read over the classroom rules and procedures.  Also, please complete the following brief survey before class on Tuesday.  Make sure you answer every question because this is actually your first graded assignment.

Wednesday

6th Grade: In class today you will be working with a neighbor to read through the grading policy for class. After that you are going to take a survey about how you use technology in your daily life. Finally, I will show you how to save your work to the right folder for me to grade.

7th Grade: Today in class you will be completing a short questionnaire about how you use technology in your everyday life. In addition we will go over a few internet safety tips and answer a few questions about how you would handle certain web situations.

8th Grade: We will be discussing technology and the rate that it is developing in our world. Is it good or bad for the human race? We are going to be watching a video from YouTube called "Shift Happens" and discussing some key questions that beg to be answered. When you are watching the video keep in mind that every piece of media (newspaper articles, blogs, movies, songs, etc.) is written with a purpose. Today we will try to uncover the author's purpose for creating this video?
