Week of February 27- March 1, 2018

This week is review of tabs for PowerPoint2016. I want you to know what each tab does and the correct name for each action. 

We will also be reviewing vocabulary words, so remember to be sure to bring your flash drives back to class. 

One other area we will cover this week is using Google drive. 

*** The lesson for Tuesday is to partner up with one other person, use the provided posterboard, pens, markers, crayons... and write the selected vocabulary words, define them and talk to your partner about them. I want you to make sure your partner knows what the vocabulary word is, what it does, in reference to the computer. 

You can draw a picture, summarize the definition, and make the poster pleasing to the eye. It will be posted in the Computer Room!
The list of words will be posted under Vocabulary. Each group takes a group of 7 words.

I am very pleased with your work, the PowerPoints that I have seen so far show that you are learning quickly. The main goal is to know the terminology now! I want you to tell me, in English, exactly how you created the slides.

I will post more vocabulary words in the Vocabulary tab. These need to be defined, using terms for computer use. 

If you have questions, I have posted my email address on the front board of DH 203. You can always email what questions you have.

This week, February 20-22, 2017

We are working on more vocabulary words this week, Also, we have a new area we will cover, PowerPoint!

Class on Wednesday will be working in PowerPoint2016. This means you will use all of your skills that you have learned so far... typing, adding pictures, changing font, font size, bullets, margins... you name it, we will use it, and a few more tabs!

Class should be fun, so come to class on time, be prepared to jump right in!

I have looked at some of your vocabulary lists, I am very proud of you for working so diligently on them. I know this isn't the most fun part of the class, but it is something that is needed. We will work on vocabulary as often as possible, if you have a computer and internet at home, please work on the words.

You will find the vocabulary list on the page named Vocabulary. Click on the tab above to find it.

You may have noticed the tab: Good Reads!. This tab is the link to the page that I created that links articles and books that I have found and thought you may like them.

I believe you will laugh when you look at the link to the article: Breaking Down the Best Slapstick Gif We've Ever Seen. It is very funny and fun to read. 

One addition to the page "Good Reads!" will be books for kids. If you have children, grandchildren, or kids that you are close to, this will be a wonderful way to spend time with them.

Reading to children shows that you care about them and teaches them that reading is important, and it can be fun. Check out the page, read some of the articles, and check back frequently, I will try to post something new every few days.

Extra Work! February 15th, 2018

If you are working towards taking the MOS test, I will post extra work for you to do at home.

This will help you get further ahead with your language skills and the vocabulary that you need to take the certification test.

I have added a new tab to the bar above. It is the Vocabulary tab. When you click on this tab, it will take you to a page that has a list of vocabulary words that you will need to know. I will add more words each week to this list.


Open Word, type in the words as a list, then go back and add the definitions to each word by searching the internet. Make sure that you are looking at the right definition! Sometimes you will have many definitions for the same word, check to make sure that you are defining the Computer Terms.

Welcome Back!

We have started a new semester, a new class in Computer Literacy and have a new MOS certification instructor in the evenings!

What a way to start out the new year!

Today, February 14, we are working in Windows2016. I would like for you to check out the Google Drive Document that I have posted. This will be written in Word 2016, by you. NO copy and paste!

I wish to have you work on margins, and this is the easiest way for you to not only work on keyboarding skills, but to also have the directions listed, and we can work from there!
