So the students talked me into making the Personal Ed Website their final - in complete it is due on Jan 17th, and the day of the final we will do a written test of matching HTML codes to the correct meaning of them. The first page of the web site is due on Jan 3rd when we return.
All students in Digitools 9 need to complete the Online Lessons at a 40 wpm and print out their certificate saying they passed the lesson. Students can also save the file instead of printing and then bring to class and print out. To save just click save as and make sure to save on a thumb drive.
Digitools 7 students most have done at least half of the lessons and need to complete at 20 wpm. Again print the certificate or save and print in class. The web address: www.freetypinggame.net - we are then pick lesson. Again as I have told the students for the entire week I expect them to redo all the assignments they have done for this semester and return them when they come back on Mon Jan 3rd. I will then grade the work and change grades - all of them have to ability to get a 100% on all assignments if they put in the time and effort during break. I will be checking out books to students on a first serve basis as there are not enough for everyone. I will not make copies of worksheets - this will teach student to keep graded papers like I have told them since Sept.
The majority of students completed their project and it turned out great with the information on 2 pages and 2 different charts. They did a great job of using Excel to complete the project. We will start the next
Digitools students need to be finishing up Chapter 8 activities on Thursday so that they can work and hopefully finish their project on Friday - if not the project will be due on Monday the 3rd of Jan at the end of the period. Reminder students - if you don't turn in the activities for Chapter 8 by Friday you will serve LD for those you didn't do. Parents - I will be in my classroom morning, lunch, and after school on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, for students to finish up work on Chapter 8.
The Personal Education Website project is going to be the final exam for the Digital Media students and then the assignments we complete during the final period will be regular assignments. On Wednesday a project plan is due and the first web page will be due on Monday when we return from break before the end of the period. Students can work on these at home using Notepad if they own a PC.
The students will have the opportunity to hear lecture material now from their computers once I get the headphones over break. Which will allow them to go at their own speed, and allow me to help those who need one on one assistance more. In Applied 1 today the students worked out of the book and will finish that in class tomorrow. Applied 2 was to take the book home and complete as much as they could before class tomorrow.
If a student will be gone on Friday they will need to take their test over this chapter on Thursday, then do the worksheets over break and return on Monday the 3rd of Jan. 7th grade Digitools has started their first report they are completing the Report on page 94-95 saving as "LastnameL51" and it is due on Wednesday by the end of the period - they need to print it out. I lectured on Report format yesterday the students took notes and printed them out to use. We reviewed that information today before starting the report. On Thursday they will complete a report on page 99 - 100 and create a Title Page for this report vs using a heading. This will be on Friday at the end of the period - along with their files from their student folders.
Math we are going to finish up our pre-algebra work with solving equations and take a test on Friday. Students need to get in an retake old tests before they head to break so they don't forget. In Digitools 9 we will finish up Chapter 8 and the project that with our timed typing tests. Digital Media is starting a new project of a website written in HTML with 5 pages about themselves. Even though they complain about the work it will be a 3 week long project, so plenty of time to finish in class. Digitools 7 will finish up the basics of word documents with their Report work. So all classes but Digital Media will be starting fresh at the new year.
Many of you are wondering how can I get my grade up. Well the best answer I have for you is that you need to redo all your assignments by the redo dates. For parents that means that students have one week from the time of the original due date to turn in the work they missed (corrected) for full credit.
This is for all my classes. So this means that you need to turn in all assignments but quizzes and tests in one week from the due date. |
