Posted by wagongrrl in General.add a comment
This is the last week of the marking period. I am grading the Computer Ads. If you have not yet handed in your movie file to the Drop Box PLEASE DO THAT! See me for a convenient time to get that done BEFORE THURSDAY Nov 6th.
We will have an additional Quia quiz this week. The content will be the same as Quiz #1, and every class spent one class reviewing bits & bytes, data storage size, input and output devices, and how digital information (1’s and 0’s) make it’s way through the computer.
You will not have an opportunity to take the Quiz more than one time! We will be taking during your scheduled class time this week (Nov 2 – Nov 6). We will also be finishing up the peer review.
Take a look at the Computer Class 6 7 Flickr page to see all the great work that was done this marking period. Comment on your classmate’s and friend’s work. Read about the cool computers they researched and created advertisements for.

Students are beginning to submit their advertisements to me. They need to be exported as .mov files from keynote.
Remember to check your spelling and have another student look at your work and give some feedback.
Place the completed .mov file into your class Drop Box.
We are posting the completed videos to our brand new class Flickr page!!! (Thanks Francesca!!!)

This week you will be starting to collect information about the computer you are writing the ad for. Remember, you are writing the as in the first person! So it will be like you are the computer, and you are talking about yourself. There are 2 handouts you should be using now, the vocabulary list, and the sheet that you will be filling in with the specific information about your computer as you research it.
Here are a few links that you can use if you need to complete the Vocabulary sheet:
