Today we will begin with one lesson and one assignment at [|Sense-lang.org]. Remember, the class code is **slsgr7**. When you are finished typing, please look up the four technology words you selected. I would like you to use Dictionary.com or [|Merriam-Webster Dictionary] to find the terms. Write them on your index card. We will be using them to teach others the technology terms. How would you teach vocabulary terms? Would you use flashcards, a video, or something else? Think of ways you could use technology to teach your four vocab terms.

__ September 17, 2015: __ Today we will begin the computer portion of our class with keyboarding practice. Please click the link for Sense-Lang.org to begin. Our class code is: **slsgr7**. I will give each of you your user name and password. Once you are logged in, begin with the lessons. There are two lessons listed and two assignments. Lessons are done first with the assignment to follow. For example: work on Lesson 1, then Assignment 1. Continue in this pattern. We will spend approximately 15 minutes each week on Keyboarding skills. Our objective is to be able to use the keyboard efficiently __without__ looking.

Also, please take the following quiz before the end of class. I'd like your input on some of the topics I hope to cover in class this year. At the end of class we will see which topics interest you most. media type="custom" key="27827497"
