When you are finished with this project, save it to the Electronic turn in folder. I will grade them when I get back.

BONUS POINTS: "Bubble Share" is a free program, site that we used last year to take a PowerPoint project and post it to our blogs. Bubble Share is blocked, but I quickly found this site: http://labnol.blogspot.com/2006/09/embed-powerpoint-slides-as-flash.html but have not had time to really look at it. Major bonus points for this project, if you can figure out how to convert your PowerPoint project in to a file that can be posted to your blog, and then post your US History Timeline project to your blog with your reflection.

7) If you finish early and you still have time left in class, please go in to the DDC testing center software and continue to practice for the test. I suggest taking a Training Exam, Expert, Word. (the expert should really help you prepare for the core exam)

Have a great day.
Do great work while I am gone.

AGAIN IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, POST A COMMENT TO MY BLOG AND I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP FROM A FAR.

Hey guys.
Sorry I am not here for you today, but Madison (my daughter) is running a fever and I can't take her to daycare. I hope to be back tomorrow.

Please don't play on the Internet and play games. I would really like for you all to complete the assignment I have listed here. No one completed the assignment I made yesterday, because I didn't get any print outs. Please be sure and complete what I have left here for you to do TODAY.

Today's Activities:
1) Please print out this document and read over it. MOS Certification Test taking tips
Click on the link and then print it out. It gives you some good test taking tips for the Word MOS test. Once you print it, put your name on it and put it in the 4th period turn in box.

2) I would like for everyone (no matter where you are I would like for you to take the following practice test)
* Training Test - Expert - Word
Print out your results once you are finished.
Push yourself to try and finish it before the end of the period.
Because you only have 45 minutes to take the real thing.

3) If you get the training test, listed in #2 above completed, and you still have time in class, please take the Testing Exam - Core - Word test and print out your results once you are finished.

I will give you major bonus points if you complete all of this TODAY, BY THE END OF THE PERIOD.

Study hard please. I want everyone to pass and get certified. You need to be scoring at least a 93% on the Testing Exams for me to comfortable about you taking the exam. So really try and study the questions. Make notes if you think that will help.

Have a great day.
