So a reminder of things happening over the next few weeks :-
AND FINALLY the week after next we will introduce the MAIN PROJECT...
I will be bringing together quarter and semester grades next week. For the Quarter grade you will need to make sure the following work below is finished by the revised deadlines. The Semester grade will be a combination of the first two quarters and your exam grade.
WORK TO BE COMPLETED
1) SPREADSHEET Assignment - Tuesday 10th Jan
Remember - your spreadsheet assignment will be graded using the following criteria - UsabilitySpreadsheets. Also you must use a minimum of ten of the following skills (that you will practice this next week or so) within your spreadsheet to make the design and so its workings as efficient and automatic as possible. You must also be able to discuss what each of these functions does and why you would use it:-
Simply email me the spreadsheet completed or the link to the Google Spreadsheet you have completed - and we will view these in class and discuss the issues and problems associated with the Web 2.0 New "Skool" and the Old "Skool" Excel Spreadsheets. Note there should be instructions on how to use the spreadsheet on the spreadsheet itself so anybody coming to this sheet for the first time could use it. Make sure to format the presentation and colouring of the spreadsheet as well.
2) OPEN BOOK TEST CHAPTER 4/5 ON GDOC - Wednesday 11th January
Only two of you have started this test on a GDOC? - MiniTestITGSChapter4+5 Combo 2011. You will have some classtime to complete these two assignments - and all of Wednesdays' class as I will not be in school on that day.
iPAD INTRODUCTION
On Monday and Tuesday next week we will begin investigating the use of the iPAD in class. Setting each of your iPAD's up for use and trialing a variety of elements. For this you will need an active iTUNES user account. This first week we will be just using and setting them up in class and you will not be taking them home. BY the following week once student expectations and parental communications have been organised then we will begin the first phase of the 1-to-1 program.
