Already 3rd Quarter!
This is the first week of the 3rd quarter! Where has the time gone?
Here's what we did 2nd quarter:
Digital Video Editing the students created an awesome video highlighting each of the departments at JRG! They spent soo much time working on these. I can't wait to show them off. (A few groups have some changes to make - if that's you... please come in ASAP!)
Elements of Design!!! We worked sooo hard on the Yearbook this year. We still have work to go on this one, too, but I can't wait to see the final project! It's going to be great! What a yearbook staff!! This class also created some wonderful brochures and calendars! (Many gave their calendars as gifts!)
WebPage Design students worked hard all year on their websites. They learned how to create navigation bars, animations and banners. Some students also found how to add music and videos!
CompApp7 students began the quarter with an Internet Safety presentation by Officer Slotke. This accompanied their new e-mail accounts. The students learned the ins and outs of MS Excel as well as created an on-line portfolio using the Wisconsin Careers website.

How Safe Are You?
My Space, Face Book, Instant Messaging, Chat Rooms, Blogs, Personal Websites, etc.
All of these are wonderful communication tools our Digital Natives are using, but do they understand how to use them safely?
By the end of the school year, each and every seventh grader will have had Computer Applications. That means we have a wonderful opportunity to reach each 7th grade student regarding Internet Safety. Ms. Verkuilen and Officer Slotke will be going into each of the eighth grade Health Classes to present Internet Safety to them.
Therefore, all of our students will have gotten the message.... What about the parents???
October 1st at 6:30pm we are hosting an Internet Safety Presentation in the auditorium. I would love to see each parent there!! We will present some interesting facts regarding Internet Safety and what parents can do to help keep our students safe.
If a parent attends this presentation, their child's name will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win an iPod Nano!

Welcome to Blogging!
Welcome Back to JRG!
Are you ready to begin blogging??
What is a blog you ask? A blog is an online log or diary. It gives people an opportunity to respond to statements or issues online. Anyone can access them. All responses are public and students will then comment on those. I have chosen to "moderate" the comments. This means that none will be posted until I have okayed them.
So let's begin!
***Tell me (and the rest of the world) one way you used technology this summer***
