Hello folks, I hope you all had a restful and relaxing Winter vacation. Time to explore the exciting world of IT! From robots to satellites to movie animation, we'll be covering a lot of territory.
So, please save and open up this document.
The first step is to bookmark my blog. You'll notice that your grade level is listed at the top of the page. That's where you can find all the work that we'll be doing this semester. Remember that we'll be using the Design Cycle for each project, so if you have any questions about it, you can look for the link on the righthand-side of this page.
The next step is to make sure that you have access to your own blog. You'll need to remember the password from last term, and I'll need you to give me each of your ID numbers, so I can set up the links on my page.
Finally, we'll need to make sure you have access to your Gmail account, since that's where we'll be keeping all of your work throughout the course.
I know it's a lot of stuff to get organized so soon, but the faster we do it, the easier it'll make the rest of the year.
Here's a link to the document we used to create our blog last year. Please access it if there's something on your blog that's just 'not right'.
Of course, you can always come to me to help you figure it out, as well.

Your first IT homework will be to create 2 Tutorials and post them on your blog. Include at least three screenshots and one external hyperlink. Look here for an example. Here's another one, too.
Choose two of the following topics and post them to your blog:
- How to log in
- Create Pages
- Create Posts
- Create Tags
- Create Categories
- Create Menus
- Hyperlinks to other pages/documents
- Insert Images (more than one way)
- Creating Drop down menus
- Create a Banner Image for their Blog
- Embedding video
- Or you can come up with your own (related to using computers/blogs at SWA)
