Day 7

All Classes: We will begin by watching a quick video about the history of computers at brainpop.com to give us a frame of reference for the accomplishments of Co-founder of Apple and Pixar, Steve Jobs, who passed away yesterday.  We will then watch CNN's tribute to Steve Jobs.  If you have extra time, I recommend listening to his commencement address at Stanford about how to live.

6th:    We will continue 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:   We will continue to develop our company websites.  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. 

We will also take come time to check out each others websites.  Use this time to get ideas of things that might work for your own site.  We will be critiquing each others websites another day, so please save your comments for another time.  Just look and enjoy your classmates hard work.

8th:  Continue to work on your blogs.  By the end of class today, I expect that you will have at least 3 original blog posts and cleaned up the side bars.  After you have completed the layout and feel of your blog you are expected to view the video about Protecting Your Reputation Online.  Then, you will visit your classmate's blogs and comment on them.  DON'T FORGET, the whole world (strangers, your friends, teachers, grandparents, Father John, etc.) can read what you post -be mindful of what you say.
