Jigsaw puzzle

We do not have classes for Computer Literacy this week, due to the holiday.

Classes will start back on November 28th at 12:30pm. We will meet in Room 203 of Deadrick Hall.

This will be the Intermediate and Advanced class. I believe we may change a bit, but the days will probably be the same.

In the meantime, I thought you might like to do a few activities on the internet.

This jigsaw puzzle, it is fun.

Week of November 13, 14, 15th, 2017

This is the last week of our Beginning Computer Literacy, this class has been working really hard, now is the time to show what you can do!

This week, Tuesday, you will create an Excel document, using the information that I have given you on justpaste.it. The code will be on the board.

 Remember to use borders, remember to add your name.  The information is not formatted as an actual table, so you will have to add it onto the Excel form. You know this!

When you are finished, you will upload the document in Google Drive, share the link with the instructor! If you do not have google, upload it to Access, then send me the link. Use any free time to review vocabulary, typing skills.

Wednesday, we will study a little for the vocabulary. Also, we will have the typing test, which will be the 'Sentences' on Typing.com. I will record your WPM, Accuracy and time.

Next you will begin the PowerPoint program. The instructions are on the board, It is going to be long, there are three sections that you must complete to  receive your certificate. I strongly suggest that you make a Word document to type in the outline for your PowerPoint. This will help with your whole presentation.

You must cover these three areas in the presentation.

How to Create a Word Document
How to Create an Excel Table
How to Create a PowerPoint

You must create at least one pane for each of the sections that introduces the section.
There must be at least 2 panes per section.
There must be graphics in the presentation.
Please add transitions.

{For the more advanced students, you will have an opportunity to show me just how creative you are, and what skills you have. Please include transitions, graphs, motion, sound, and if you would like, a video!}


Thursday!

Finish the PowerPoint presentation.  at 2pm we will take the vocabulary test in Quizizz.com

I will give you the access code at 2.

Week of November 7-9, 2017

We will again meet in Room 203. The new computers are installed, they are beautiful, they have new mouses!

There will be NO food or drink in the Computer Lab.

When we have refreshments for the class, since we are working so long, we will meet in room 205 which is Ms. Madrid's room. We will need to keep that room very clean as well, so please (and I know you are very diligent anyway) remember to wipe up any crumbs, use the trash cans!

The class will quickly review Excel for the students that were out of class on Thursday due to the local schools being out.

After the review, we will work in Google Drive. This means that you will need to have access to your gmail accounts... IF you do not have a gmail account, we will set up one. It is important that you know how to use this form of document sharing platform.

I have added a spreadsheet, named Excel Budget-Want to Quit Second Job?  This is under the Tab- Excel Documents. 

Please open this document, study it, and when we open Google Drive, we will recreate this Spreadsheet.

Even if you are a wiz at Excel, working in Google Drive can be daunting. The tools are set up a bit differently. You can learn this, it just takes a bit of practice.

Have a great week!
