5) Once you complete the exercise be sure to complete the reflection by POSTING TO YOUR BLOG.

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.

6) 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.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.
