Welcome back and thanks for checking in. My Intro to Computers classes have just finished their Web Traveler Project. Students had $7000 and seven days to take the trip of a life-time. Once they chose their destination, they had to research it and complete a number of tasks using Office 2007 software tools such as an itinerary, budget, slide show of vacation pictures, and a database of Websites used. If you would like to look at your student's work, have them log into the Wiki and show you their finished work. If there is no grade listed for your student, it is late and they are working on it outside of class. Call me with concerns.
We are beginning our second tour through Office with units in Word (writing term papers), Excel (more formulas, functions, and charting), PowerPoint (animation and sound), and Access (merging data with Word).
Finally, we just finished a quick unit in Photoshop where students learned to add color to black and white photos as well as get rid of red-eye and zits. Students posted pictures of themselves on the Wiki showing the "Sin City" method of coloring certain aspects of a picture. Check it out.
Thanks!
