Welcome to Computer Tech class! I am excited to have the 6th Graders back. I should have had the chance to have everyone as 5th Graders, but now you will be in here for a full quarter. I know last year ended rather and we may need to cover or review a few things from last year, but I am anxious to get going. Please refer to the Schedule listed on this website for the times of classes. It will be a little different being dismissed at 2:00 most days and 12:00 on Wednesdays. This might mean that some work will have to be done at home. Be prepared to have some assignments that may need to be finished at home. Keeping up with deadlines will be important in this class, your other classes, and with many things in life. Always communicate with me when problems arise. I am much more flexible when someone is open to communication and lets me know what is going on.
We will be using Google Classroom often for turning in assignments. Most of you are familiar with this process, but we can definitely go over it as a class so everyone is clear on how to use it. It's always a possibility that Illinois schools will be forced to go all online at some point so it is very important to understand the programs (such as Google Classroom) so this course could be taught remotely. You should be enrolled in the class already, but if not, here is the code: p66ksxq
This page on my site will have a sub menu that appears where you will see your assignments. Usually each unit has a page that explains the assignments and links to help you. Sometimes we will spend a lot of time as a class going over things and other times you will get the opportunity to do a lot of exploring/learning on your own. Here are some of the things we will be covering:
