Today we will be working on our flipbooks. If you have not finished your flipbook yet, you need to focus on that for today.

If you are done your parable, you need to make a new Flipbook with the most accurate animation of a bouncing ball that you can. It can be 100 frames. If you finish the ball, you should add a shadow.

You need to watch the movie, read the FYI sections and take the quiz. You also need to fill out the handout that Miss Hines has for you. 2. Send a bad email! Log into your @students.logoscambodia.org account by visiting Gmail. Then, Compose a message that demonstrates at least 5 things that you should not do in an email and send it To: Miss Hines. Then, reply to your message and explain what 5 things you did wrong, and what you should do instead. 3. If you finish this, you may practice your typing skills by playing [|Super Spider Hyper Typer].

1. If you are not done with either 1 or 2 from last class, you must finish these items first. 2. When you are done, you may practice your typing on [|Typing Web] until your classmates are done the above items. Then we will talk about email!

When you get to "Organize your email with labels," click on the "Learn More>>" link. Add a label for Subjects. Then, under Subjects, add a label for each subject. 3.

January 26, 2012
If you have not done "Email tasks" from last class, please do them now. You need at least 20 emails labelled with appropriate labels. When you have done this, you need to take the email course found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/course/email/menu.shtml It is a little out of date, but the big concepts are the same. Work through each guide and take the quiz. When you have completed this, you may type on TypingWeb.

February 2, 2012
You need to ensure that you have completed all of the email tasks from the past few classes: -BrainPop movie and handout -Sending a bad email to Miss Hines and a reply with the 5 things you did wrong in the first email and how you would correct them. -Organizing your email box using labels (minimum 20 emails) -Email course from last class - @http://www.bbc.co.uk/webwise/course/email/menu.shtml

When you are done this, you need to work on the following task: We have had the opportunity to look at all of the bad things that you can do with email. Now, you have the opportunity to consider some of the positive ways that God wants us to think about email. Your task is to find at least one verse in the Bible that you can relate to how God wants us to think or act when we use email. You may use websites like Bible Gateway to look up keywords. Note that the word "email" is not found in the Bible. Once you have found a verse, create a Word document the verse in it (copy and paste the text of the verse). Then give at least 4 sentences explaining why this verse relates to how we should think or act when we use email. Your sentences must have proper grammar and spelling - read your document over carefully before you click send. Save your Word document on your H: drive and create a new email to Miss Hines. Attach the file to your email and send it to Miss Hines. (8 marks)

When you have completed this, you may practice your typing on TypingWeb.

We will be moving onto spreadsheets (more email to come later in the year)!
