Welcome Back!

Students, parents, and fellow staff members: Welcome back! Summer is done and we are in the second week of school. I am teaching three sections of Intro to Computers this fall so if your student is a 9th grader, chances are good that they might be sitting in my class. We are starting off the school year with a lot of pretesting. Students have taken pretests in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and vocabulary. Our goal of all this pretesting is to find out where students are currently in their computer knowledge and then compare it with final exams to find their growth in this class. That is our goal at least.

After that, we are diving into MS Office 2007 with units covering Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. Along with that, we will be learning vocabulary units on networking terms and common acronyms and extensions.

I am hoping to update this blog every two weeks, so hanks for visiting, stop back again, and here's to a great year!
