Objectives:
After this class, students will be able to:
1. use metacognition and reflection to analyze computer literacy skills.
2. manage their time to complete multiple projects.
3. utilize a wiki to create an advice column and a profile.
Agenda:
1. Warm-Up: Please post your answer to this question in the COMMENTS section below: Describe your experience so far using laptops in class. Do you love it, hate, it, feel indifferent, or something else? What do you want to learn how to do on the computer before you leave OHS next month?
2. For the next two or three days (depends on your speed at completing these assignments), we will complete, and submit for a grade, the three technology projects that we began last week.
a. Complete the novel chart that we began last week. When your chart is complete, please email it to me at ms.kingsbury@verizon.net as an attachment. You will receive 50 points for this assignment.
b. Post a "Letter to the Class of 2013" on this site here. This is another wiki site which you will need to join, then create your own page where you will post your letter giving advice to the upcoming freshman on how to survive in the halls of OHS. Be sure that the letter is grammatically correct, proper spelling and punctuation, and contains vivid details and images. You will receive 100 points for this assignments also.
c. Complete your online yearbook page which you started here. Your page should contain two images of yourself, who you hang with, your activities, your memories, your OHS top 10, and your class commentary. You will receive 100 points for this assignment as well. Make sure your name is NOT on your profile; this is for legal reasons. I will know it's your page by your picture.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING BUT WHAT IS ASSIGNED ABOVE. IF YOU ARE SEEN STRAYING ONTO UNAPPROVED SITES, THAT WILL BE THE END OF YOUR COMPUTER USE TODAY.
on using laptops in the classroom i think its cool and all its way better than using pen and paper all the time and we can do more things and its a different way of learning so i like it and theres nothing i want to learn about computers before i leave
ReplyDeleteIt been a different experience I enjoy it but I'm glad we switched it up.BY using paper and pen in the beginning and finishing with the labtops
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy using the computers in class. It makes doing work alot more interesting and easier. I wish that all of our work wasdone on computers. The experience was great and I wish we had it in all of our classes. There is nothing specific that I want to learn how to do on the computer. I'm basically GOOD TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that using the computers in class is a good and useful experience. Many of us are going to need the ability to use computers in the future. Though it may feel weird and awkward, I feel that it's helpful to get used to it now.

ReplyDeletethe whole computer situation dont really matter to me. it is some what a good thing because there is less paper being used but the bad thing is that there is so much that has to be done for this laptop, its like you have to be really careful with it and go through all this. i dont think it is that serious.
ReplyDeleteI HATE USING THE COMPUTERS I JUST WISH THAT I CAN SING BARRY WHITE SONGS ALL DAY LONG. BECAUSE I'M A BIG DEEP VOICE LOSER!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think that it is easier to use the computers instead of struggling to find paper and pen. Also I think that it is easier to get work done using the computers. I also agree with hat Shaquille says that I am glad that we switched from using paper and pen to typing on the computer
ReplyDeleteUsing labtops are easy its ok and I really think I should because in college I will have to.
ReplyDeleteI, for one, am relatively indifferent about using the laptops in class. The experience doesn't seem to had changed much with the inclusion of the laptops. Although, I acknowledge that this is convenient for those who don't have regular access to the internet. Also, it is a welcomed change. At this point, no one should expect any enthusiasm from me.
ReplyDeleteusing the laptops have been fun and adventious (thats spelled wrong). Plus i think it helps me keep my typing speed up as 45 words per minute. I don't need to learn any thing else except maybe some short cuts. just happy to have begin this.
ReplyDeleteAnd shaquille is a big deep voice loser and brandon's shoulders are too wide....ump!!!
my time with the laptops so far is ok, i don't hate it and i don't love it. if i think about it, its kinda weird because i'm so use to my computer if i stick with it for a wile i think i would get use to it eventually.
ReplyDeleteSo far using the new laptops have been an experience. i mean, there are tons of things that i can do on this computer that i cant do on my computer at home. For example the camera thing, that specific asset is particularly good for me. I could spend the whole day messing with that thing...all in all i love the computer thing while it has fun things that you can entertain yourself with it also makes us not have to write as much! lol
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way before I leave OHS I want to learn how to make bootlegs because times are hard
ReplyDeleteI enjoy using computers. After all technology is becoming the future, so we might as well make ourselves acquainted with it. I guess I can always learn how to type properly and faster.
ReplyDeleteI think using the labtops are the greatest, its the best, now i don't have to write anymore... whoop whoop, but they can be a bummer, like when we tried to do the Practice AP Exam
ReplyDeleteI love using the labtops in class because I hate writing. My hands are never steady and I can get work so much faster. To my knowledge most of my classmates have been doing all their classwork more efficiently. meow
ReplyDeleteSo far the laptops are very convenient, because you do not have to worry about miss placing any work, and you also do not have to worry about correcting any work. But it is also making us lazy ( no writing).
