Dear Class:

Today, we will do more of the review of the letters in the Lesson Review on the Lesson Tab in www.freetypinggame.net. That will include Lesson 5 to 10 (more of the alphabet keys). We will then proceed to keys and icons you will need to know for a test.

We will be working with Word today. That will encompass the use of various above icons and keys. Furthermore, we will also be doing a 10 minute "warmup" that you will, from hereon in be doing the first ten minutes of class. Today is a Pride day so the time for the classes will be shorted just a hair.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

Today we will be doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that. We will start by logging into your server account. The "link" is on the blog just prior to this one. We will do this as a class. We have already done some document management through file folders.

I will then discuss what I will be grading on for the first part of the semester which refers to posture, keystrokes, and technique.

We will then go to www.freetypinggame.net and you will do the first four keys which are from the "home row". When they are done with each individual ones, you will complete the "certificate" 2 minute test for the #1 homerow keys, you will do a print screen of each and paste into a word document which you will name "namereview" that will also have your footer.

Finally, we will look at word itself.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 Basic Computer Literacy

Today we will be looking at what we will be doing in Basic Computer Literacy.

Today we will be talking about what is required in the class and what I expect from you. The general rules are: No gum, no food, no hats and no drink. This policy is strictly enforced! A warning will be given in the first instance. After that, I will make a notation in the grade book of non-participation and deduct points. Cell phones will be confiscated and turned over to the office after the second violation. No music or ear phones unless we are working on PowerPoint.

When you come into class, please turn on the computers. To find out what we are covering during any given class day, I should have it posted on the blog.

Assignments Due: If you are absent, please look at the day in which you were absent to see what you missed. You have the number of days you were absent to make up missed work unless you get special permission to do otherwise.

How to access today’s assignment: Go to “http://ddhsappliedcomp.blogspot.com”.

Printers: Be familiar where your computer prints to. Do not print more than once! Any printing other than for school or this class will cost 25 cents per page.

Where to save your documents: Your documents will be saved on the fileserver for this school. That fileserver can be logged on by going to “Start”, right click on “My Computer” and click on “Map Network Drive”. You will enter in “Z:” (unless you are an upperclassman and use the “H:” drive instead). For your address, it will be \\10.52.254.110\ and then the last two number of the year you will graduate and then your last name first, first name last (I would suggest right clicking after selecting your year and name and “copy” it. When you enter this address, it will then prompt you for your id and password. Paste in the above and then enter your student number for the password. We will be doing this a little later this week.

I wish to go over what programs are on the computer and to familiarize you with same.
