Objectives:
After this class, students will be able to:
1. use metacognition and reflection to analyze computer literacy skills.
2. manage their time to complete multiple projects.
3. utilize a wiki to create an advice column and a profile.

Agenda:
1. Warm-Up: Please post your answer to this question in the COMMENTS section below: Describe your experience so far using laptops in class. Do you love it, hate, it, feel indifferent, or something else? What do you want to learn how to do on the computer before you leave OHS next month?

2. For the next two or three days (depends on your speed at completing these assignments), we will complete, and submit for a grade, the three technology projects that we began last week.

a. Complete the timeline assignment we began on Friday. If you have not started this assignment, click here, and then click on the timeline attachment at the bottom of the page. When your timeline is complete, please email it to me at ms.kingsbury@verizon.net as an attachment. You will receive 100 points for this assignment. Make sure to include at least one event for each month as well as images which enhance your commentary.

b. Post your "Letter to the Class of 2013" on this site here. This is another wiki site which you will need to join, then create your own page where you will post your letter. Be sure that the letter is grammatically correct, proper spelling and punctuation, and contains vivid details and images. You will receive 100 points for this assignments also. OR! If you wrote a letter to OHS as if it were a person, email that assignment to me at ms.kingsbury@verizon.net.

c. Complete your online yearbook page which you started here. Your page should contain two images of yourself, who you hang with, your activities, your memories, your OHS top 10, and your class commentary. You will receive 100 points for this assignment as well. Make sure your name is NOT on your profile; this is for legal reasons. I will know it's your page by your picture.

DO NOT DO ANYTHING BUT WHAT IS ASSIGNED ABOVE. IF YOU ARE SEEN STRAYING ONTO UNAPPROVED SITES, THAT WILL BE THE END OF YOUR COMPUTER USE TODAY.

Using laptops are better for the class because not only are we more interested, but we're learning new things. I also think we get more work done. So I guess i'm in the middle of loving it and liking it.
