10/31/19 - Happy Halloween! You have 2 class days until your first deadline. Your quiz over the material from Deadline 1 in Monday.

Optional Whiteboard: candy only possible for Halloween - Subject: Halloween
Halloween was almost over, and Mr Green had less than 20 pieces of candy left. When the doorbell rang, he thought he would give them all away. When he opened the door, there were two trick or treaters. He wanted to give away the candy evenly, but he noticed that when he divided them in two, there was one left over. At that point, he saw another trick or treater behind the first two. Again, he tried to divide the candy evenly among the three of them, but again one was left over. Finally, another trick or treater came to his door, making it four trick or treaters altogether. Mr. Green still had one piece of candy left over after dividing the left over sweets into fours. So how many pieces of candy did Mr. Green have left when the doorbell rang? Solve this within the first 5 minutes of class and email the answer for a piece of candy.

Required Whiteboard below. Full credit for finding at least 15 errors.

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.

 

10/17/19 - If you do not have a syllabus grade entered in campus make sure you do that today. You may text your parents about the email if necessary.

Friday free time requirements are now posted on the home page. Check this to see if you are on track to earn free time for tomorrow.

After you complete the quiz below, continue working on your common assignments if necessary. If you have finished common assignments start/continue your class. Assignments include the whiteboard email from yesterday, first email from the common assignments, survey, create folders on Z drive, and syllabus email from you and parents. Remember to ask if you have questions.

Intro to computers begins with Word. Be sure to save each lesson as Challenge and the number.

10/15/19 - Required Whiteboard - # 2
If you were not here yesterday, complete yesterday's whiteboard and 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.

Ask for help when needed! After the whiteboard make sure you have completed the common assignments then begin your class. Assignments so far: Whiteboard 1, Whiteboard 2, First Email, Survey, Saving, Downloads(if applicable), Syllabus email.

10/14/19 - 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 10/14/19. 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 17). When you are finished with the common assignments, go on to the assignments for your specific class.
