Your theme song for today:

A ways to go....

Monday, May 5th

Good morning. 

SENIORS:  You'll take the Final Exam today.  The Sub has them in a folder.  Follow directions.  ***Armando, skip the part at the end with the newspaper article.
I still need Portfolios from Kevin, Lisa, Mayra and Armando.  Put them on the hard drive or send me a link ASAP...


Everyone Else:
 You will do 2 things today.  I suggest starting with #1, because it will take some time.

1. Watch the Edpuzzle tutorial on how to download videos from our shared Google Drive.  I put several example broadcasts on our Google drive for you to choose from.  You'll put one in your portfolio.  Go To EdPuzzle.com
2. Once you've watched the tutorial, follow the steps in the tutorial to access our shared Google Drive.  Download at least 1 of the example broadcasts.

(If this is too complicated for you, retrieve the black hard drive from the counter.  Copies of the videos are on the hard drive.  Drag a copy of the video onto your desktop, and return the hard drive for someone else to use.)
  
     3.  Complete your 1 page Script in the Celtx software, print, and turn in to the black basket on my desk.  The Script is DUE TODAY! 

Friday, April 24th: Starting your Final Portfolio

Download the instructions below, and open them on your Desktop.  Start by completing PART A today.  You should use Word or Celtx to type your responses, and save the file to your Desktop.

(Seniors, you've already begun this process; Scripts should be finished. Start collecting projects.)
