Day 6

6th:   Today's vocabulary word is application.  An application is a program on your computer that allows you to do something (e.g. surf the web, write a letter, draw a picture). I will be giving back your list of the keyboard shortcuts today.  We will be finishing up our detective work today.  We will also be start learning about the big boxy things sitting on your tables.  This reading will get us started and then we will see how much we know by printing off and completing a couple of activities:activity 1 & activity 2.

7th:  First, we will be visiting brainpop.com and watch the featured movie about computers.  We will talk about the impact Stave Jobs has had on all of our lives.  We will be working on our Websites again today.  We will start by creating pages to help the consumer navigate our sites.  You will then work on your own to customize your site.  If you finish with the content before it is time to leave you can add some new areas to your web such as Links (links to other websites that have similar items), 
Employment Opportunities (paragraph about what you are looking for in an employee, questions you would ask in an interview, what positions you are hiring and how much they pay, etc.), Grand Opening (Information about your grand opening as well as any special promotions you are running that day or contests you will have, stuff you will be giving away, etc.).  You can also be creative and add anything other information that you would like to include on your website. 

8th:  Continue to work on your blogs.  By the end of class today, I expect that you will have at least 2 original blog posts and cleaned up the side bars.  

You guys did are doing a great job!  Visit your friends Blogs for inspiration:
