This is Me
For the second week of computer class, you will be exploring Powerpoint. Powerpoint operates like Word but has some additional functions. We'll discuss these functions in class.
You will also be searching for photos on flickr.com/creativecommons
We will discuss how to use Powerpoint and how to use photos from the internet in class.
You will be finding images that show your personality and you'll be writing why these photos show your personality.
Look at your rubric for more information.

Write One Interesting Fact
"Everyone has a story."
What does that mean? We all have families, likes, dislikes, thoughts and ideas. We all want to do something, be somebody or be somewhere.
All it takes to hear your story is someone willing to listen.
Write one interesting fact about your self in the comment column below.
Remember to be respectful, and responsible about communicating via the internet.

Welcome
Hello,
My name is Mr. Uttech and I'm glad to have you in class. We'll be working hard and learning a lot, but this class will also be a special experience for you.
We won't have your normal "fill-in-the-bubble" tests in this class. We won't have worksheets. You will be working on projects and have the opportunity to work in groups at times.
This is called a CTE class, which stands for Career and Technical Education. You'll be learning skills which you'll be able to someday use in a job. You may not necessarily work with computers all day, or become a photo-journalist, but you may need to know how to successfully use email, type or design a poster.
Two things are for sure. You will need to know how to communicate. You will need to know how to solve problems, or as I like to say "use your brain." These things are important for your life and for future jobs.
More importantly, these things are important for you right now.
Let's work hard, do good things and use our brains.
