Here's what is happening in class this week:

6th Grade - 
Students are filming, editing, and producing short movies using the Weber Media Center laptops and Windows Moviemaker for editing 

7th Grade - 
We will be spending some time on typing and also begin research on a technology. Students must have their chosen technology approved and will create a website teaching others about the technology.

8th Grade - 
Students will be learning about Google Drive and what is available to them with their google login. Students who already have a gmail account will use their own and all others will be able to use a generic account that I have created for the class.

*Parents FYI - Google logins provide not only a gmail account, but access to Google Drive (cloud storage and content creation and collaboration), blogger account for website development, and youtube account.
