Digital Discipleship:

"9 Apps for Life"

Applications: a program designed for an end user. An application can not run onit's own, it must have an operating system.


Life's Operating System =
   God's Word in the Bible

Our Daily Apps must depend on the Bible to run

 

8th grade has finally arrived! Some of you I have taught for 6 years, some of you for less time. Either way, you are preparing to say good bye and I will miss you! But before you go, we have to review all your computer skills one last time, and make sure you stay safe and legal on the Internet and computer!  So this quarter, we will be doing a project in word processing, spreadsheets, desktop publishing and presentation graphics, as well as using Paint.  We will use the Internet in a positive way,  learn to do efficient searches on the Internet and begin to evaluate the information presented there. You will have skills to avoid plagiarism and copyright infringement. Finally, I hope  you are enlightened as to the pitfalls of the Internet so you can be a good and SAFE Digital Citizen!

We don't have much homework. AND if students show understanding of the material by class participation and the projects, there will be no tests (Yeah!)  The projects will be test grades, with 1/2 of the grade for using the software and 1/2 of the grade for content. All projects are created in class. However, content may be compiled outside of class. Check back as I will be posting copies of the in class projects.

Prove you visited my page by highlighting and copying (right click, copy) this paragraph from the 8th grade page of my site and pasting (right click paste) it in a word processing document (for instance, use Word). Put your first and last name and the date on the document. Print it and bring it to me by October 31, and I will give you extra credit!  Never know when you may need a little extra credit!
