Computer Exploratory Grade 8
In grade eight this term we set our keyboarding goal at 20 wpm. Students are practicing using the home keys and keeping their eyes on the monitor. Our primary project this year is our ePortfolios online where students save all their assignments. Student learned the skills to build, manage and reflect on their learning through their site. Students are learning file management skills by using a template to assess their learning on their interims. They have learned to attach documents to emails when sending home their permission slips and interims.
We created a Traditional Bullying vs Cyber Bullying Venn diagram using Inspiration Software where students learned to use a template and shortcuts using the control key. The students took the information they gather about bullying and created AntiBullying Movie Maker clips for our announcements.
We will be creating an Excel spreadsheet and graph to show our progress in ATRT and we will be reviewing a software called "Comic Life". The final project of the term will be an introduction to Adobe Photoshop where we will show our learning in three assignments published on our ePortfolios.
