Thursday & Friday, February 2-3

Please login to TimeMaps to finish the assignments listed below that are due Friday.

1- Lessons 1 & 2  (Pre and Post assessments, self checks)

2- Download Activity #5 and #6  to your User # on the computer.

3-  Open Act. 5 and begin typing in the answers. Some of these seem to be opinion based so I think there is not a wrong answer. Use Google for help if you need assistance.    Use page 55 in the Wordit book for letter format help.  Add the letters on the end of the document.  Save your completed assignment.



4-  Act. 6 deals with a business plan.  Use the internet for help if needed.  You don't need to copy and past a huge amount.  They are looking for short, simple answers.
5- When both assignments are finished, you will go into the Moodle and at the end of the Unit 1, these two assignments are listed. Click on one of the names and it will go to a screen where you can upload the file. Click browse and find your file and double click on it. Then click upload on the Moodle. You will do this for both assignments.

  When both assignments show as uploaded, your assignment is complete.

It will probably be a little overwhelming.
It will get better as we become more familiar with the process.

5.  Look at the four assignments.  This is what you need to have done by the end of next week in TimeMaps.

6.  Log into your TimeMaps account.  Timemaps website

7.  You should have TimeMaps and Moodle on different tabs so that you can toggle between the two sites.

8.  Assignments 1 and 2 ask you to complete Lesson 1 - Job Basics & Lesson 2 - Career Exploration
OUR GOAL IS TO FINISH THIS TODAY!

9.  Assignments 3 & 4 ask you to download and save two different Word files to your user number.

BY NEXT FRIDAY!

10.  Type in the answers on the worksheets based on what you read in Assignments 1 & 2 and resave.

11.  Go back to the Moodle website and upload your completed activities for a grade.

Work consistently because these are due next Friday.  The dates close for them that day and then you cannot upload.  This is a state website and I cannot reopen the dates.

If you need to check your username or password, the clipboard is up at the front table.  If you are confused, please come to my desk and I will pull up your workstation and help you.  


If you are not where you are supposed to be and not working, I will disable your internet and then I will print the sheets out for you and you may read from a paper copy and write everything for the remainder of the day.  If it happens again, I will call your parents and ask them why you cannot follow directions.

I will be giving out user names and password for Timemaps and Moodle today.

If I am not working with you, check the printout to see if you have any highlighted work that needs to be completed.

You will have to wait your turn until I can get to you because I have to help you with this process.

If you do not have any makeup work, find something quiet to keep you busy.  I will let you go to your locker if you need to get something to work on today.

Please be patient!!
