Many of the whiteboards I post are optional. This means you can choose whether you do them or not. They give you an opportunity for extra credit or candy(sometimes both). Use your brain and not your search ability to solve these whiteboards.

Email Subject: Candy or Points (tell me which you want; you can't get both on this one)

10/18/18 - Procedures and syllabus quiz today! Verify with your parents today that they emailed the syllabus if you are not sure.(You should have an email from them and to syllabus@jacomputers.org)

To begin your quiz: First look at the number on your computer monitor base. You may use my website to help you answer the questions on the quiz but not each other. Follow directions carefully in answering the questions as the quiz is computer graded and you answers must match the format specified and have not typos. You may not talk until everyone is finished with the quiz. When you finish your quiz, continue working on your class from where you left off yesterday. If you would like, after your quiz you may quietly get a piece of candy.

10/17/18 - Did you miss yesterday's whiteboard email, Top Goal? If so, do it today. Also the email below for today.

Required Whiteboard below. Full credit for finding at least 15 errors. Candy if you find them all(41).

Ode to the Spell Checker
I halve a spelling checker; it came with my pea see. It plainly marks four my revue Mistakes I dew Knot Sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word And weight four it two say Weather eye am wrong oar write It shows me strait aweigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid; it nose bee fore two long and eye can put the era rite; its rarely ever wrong.
I've scent this massage threw it, and I'm shore your pleased too no its letter prefect in every weigh; my checker tolled me sew.

Email Subject: I Can Spell

The poem to the left amplifies why you should proof read carefully and not just rely on a spell checker to proof your work. If you copy and paste the poem into Word you will see that Word finds only 7 errors. However, there are many many more. Send me an email with the subject: "I Can Spell" and rewrite the poem so that it has correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.

Continue your common assignments if you have not finished them or continue/start your class work. Don't forget to ask if you get stuck. Ask your friends and classmates if needed.

10/16/18 - If you sent emails yesterday to jdavis(at)jajags.com please resend them to jdavis@jacomputers.org. This is the email for this class: jdavis(at)jacomputers.org. If you are using your jajags email it will try to use my other email, make sure to type the entire correct address.

After you complete the whiteboard below, continue working on your common assignments. if you have finished common assignments start your class. Remember to ask if you have questions. Intro to computers begins with Word.

SAVE EVERYTHING TO THE Z DRIVE!

ASK FOR HELP if it is not clear how you should be saving, this is very important. Work is typically graded from your Z drive.

This info is also under saving documents on the common assignments.

Don't forget to continue to read the instructions. For example, if you want candy today don't say anything about candy to anyone, add the word "candy" to the subject line of your email. And now for the email assignment: Email Subject: Top goal. Tell me what your biggest goal is for the remainder of this school year and how you plan to accomplish it. For a complete grade there should be no spelling errors, proper sentences with capitals, punctuation and all that fun English stuff. There is no maximum or minimum length. Don't forget your full name as a signature.

10/15/18 - Welcome Students. Each day you're required to read the whiteboard page. Here's today's:

Send me an email. Use your preferred email program (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc). Tell me a little about yourself in ten complete sentences. Even if you have done this in the past, tell me 10 new things about yourself(be creative but not TMI). My email address is always at the top of the whiteboard page (use the @ sign instead of the word (at)). My email address for class is jdavis @ jacomputers(DOT)org. DO NOT send email for class to jdavis @ jajags. You receive credit each day for doing the whiteboard assignment unless it says it is optional. Optional whiteboards will be extra credit. You always should include a subject for your email and your name at the bottom (this is good e-mail etiquette as well). If I do not give you a specific email subject use: Whiteboard (Date) so today's email subject should be: Whiteboard 10/15/18. Today, I'll give a piece of candy to whoever adds the phrase -- "please may I have candy" to the bottom of the email but you must have all other parts to the email correct to get the candy. I will typically give out candy the next class day. After you do the whiteboard each day, work on your common assignments until they are complete, then you will begin your class assignments. So today, go back to the home page and then after the word Common, click on Assignments (these are due by or before October 18). When you are finished with the common assignments, go on to the assignments for your specific class.
