IP30 Feb. 20 – Manager Interviews and Yearbook Project Introduction
Good morning! I enjoyed reading emails about how family day was spent, whether you wished you had even more time to spend with your family, or if you’re kind of not impressed with your family at the moment and need some “quality time” away from them.
Yearbook Project: One project we will be applying our IP skills to is the school yearbook. That’s right, getting photos, uploading and organizing photos, designing layouts, writing captions, it’s all here! And you get credit too! CPT20 designed some pages last semester, but not enough, and we have missed the first deadline. The next deadline is March 15, by which date 32 of 64 pages need to be uploaded. I have created a page for yearbook work, which you can find in the column to the left. Please go there after reading this entry.
Interviews: Not everyone has shown me their interview results yet! There have been technical difficulties in posting to the wiki at this point, but we will give it one more try and then create a file in the shared drive for everyone to paste their summaries into if the wiki fails to be useful.
If you do not know what a wiki is, please check out this Wikipedia entry: wiki.
For Today:
1-Bonus Assignment: If you were Prime Minister of Canada, what would you do about the environment? I am attending a lecture by David Suzuki on this topic, and will pass on your ideas. I must receive your ideas by 3 pm today though.
Finish up anything from above, and spend 5 minutes or less on getting a WPM score for your keyboarding. Begin planning your yearbook page design by choosing a section, trying the online program if it is new to you, and uploading pictures or writing text for your pages. If you have some down time for some reason (the online program isn’t working, or you are stuck for ideas), I’d like you to begin researching online about “Parts of a Computer”, such as the CPU, RAM and motherboard. Search online, paste url addresses and useful information into a Word document to refer to later.
