Day 11

7th:  Today we will spend a portion of the class finishing up our Web Sites.  Then, we will use the Peer Evaluation Form to evaluate our classmates products.  While you are evaluating, it is important to remember that you are expected to assume the role of the consumer as you rate how well their site delivers "buying power" for their product.  After Peer Evaluations are completed, you will then use the advice from your classmates to enhance your website one last time before we close the books on the assignment.

Overall, I think you all did a GREAT job on your sites.  Congratulations and keep up the good work!

My older sister, our inspiration for this project, was just on LIVE TV selling her gloves.  You can click the link to QVC and then click the 'Video' tab to watch her taping from this morning.

Day 10

6th:      Todays vocabulary word is RAM - RAM (Random Access Memory) is the main memory used while the computer is working. RAM is temporary. 

We will continue to explore the wonderful world of Java.  I will teach you some tricks and guide you through creating your very first Pong Game.  Eventually, we will discuss our latest assignment that is expected to be completed before Christmas Break.  

7th:   We will continue to develop our company websites.  Don't forget, 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. Depending on where we are at the end of class, we may be calling this our last day to work on our Web Sites.

8th:  Today we will look at the rubric for your upcoming assignment on the Revolutionary War.  I will be teaching you about layers, masks, magic wands and erasers, filters, and effects.  You will use SumoPaint to create your poster over the next couple weeks (in other words, don't rush through it.).
