ChapterNotes

There is a chapter notes document in your downloaded book files for Office1, Office2, HTML, Dreamweaver, and Flash that you may use. If you are not in one of these classes you will have to create your own chapter notes.

If you are in Office 1, Office 2, HTML, Dreamweaver or Flash all you have to do for this step is move the Chapter Notes Document from the Book Files Folder to your class folder. You will fill in the document later.

For Office 1:

1. Word Chapters 1-3 (book 1)---30 Chapter Notes
2. Excel 1-3 (book 1)---30 Chapter Notes
3. PowerPoint 1-4 (books 1 & 2)---40 Chapter Notes

1. Word 4, 5, 6 (book 2)---30 Chapter Notes
2. Excel 4, 5, 6 (book 2)---30 Chapter Notes

Do you realize why you take notes in class or the teacher asks you to summarize what you are reading? As teachers we're taught that there are different ways of knowing something. When you are reading, you can sound out letters and say words. Or, in computer books you can follow steps and create a document. But did you really learn what the text was saying? One of the ways to improve your learning is to be able to summarize what you are reading. This is the purpose of the Chapter Notes assignment. I don't want you to spend a long time with the summary, just give me a couple words and where you found the information. So if the section in the book talks about saving a file, all I need you to type are the menu and submenu name -- Office Button, Save or File, Save. Your ability to take a large chunk of text or lecture and summarize it with a few words is an important skill that will help you learn new things for your entire life.

While I'm trying to simulate the work world by giving you a large number of tasks to complete and introducing you to project management through your Goals&Effort workbook, the main purpose of the ChapterNotes document is to help your scholarship. By completing your ChapterNotes, you will cement your learning, have a document you can use on your tests, and have a document you can use for assignments or other work you do.

You can create ChapterNotes in any application you wish -- Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Flash. Whatever program you choose make sure you name it ChapterNotes and Save it into your class folder. Chapter Notes are worth 100 points per deadline.

1. Create a new file in any application you want. Name it ChapterNotes and save into the base "Your Class" folder. You'll need to have three parts for each objective or question.
   1.  Objective or Question. For example, Save a File or How do you save a file?
   2. Answer to question or objective or steps to accomplish the task. For example, File, Save.
   3. What page or place did you do this in the document. For example, WD-3.
2. Do the following for each chapter:
   1. 10 text objectives or questions
3. To find your objectives or questions, choose the 10 items in your chapter that you think are the most important. For the Office and HTML books, half of the work is done for you at the end of the chapter. There is a list of objectives and the page numbers. If you created columns, you could type the objectives in the first column and the page number in the third column. There is also a chapter notes document in your downloaded book files for Office1, Office2, HTML, Dreamweaver, and Flash that you may use. If you are not in one of these classes you will have to create your own chapter notes.
