Introduce Yourself

Today we will take a closer look at our computer lab and start on the Introduce Yourself paper. All students, 6th-8th, will be answering the questions asked on the Introduce Yourself document. 

For those who have had my class before, go ahead and complete the document anyway as some things may have changed for you since the last time you answered the questions. Click on the link below for instructions and then email me your completed Word document when you are finished. My e-mail is rterry@mtparanschool.com, or Randi Terry in the MPCS email directory.

Back to School!

Ok, so that Voki isn't the most exciting, but it is an example of the kind of thing you can expect to try out in technology class. We will be covering some of the fundamentals you will need for your academic classes and also some things that might be a little more fun and challenging. This year will be a great one and I can't wait to see you all.
