Published on

THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS THE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE DAY!

Our 1st semester will focus on media creation, while or 2nd semester will focus more on coding.

Regardless of the lesson, FouloisTech.info should be your destination every time you come into class. This space will be used to provide announcements, lessons, and other resources.

  1. Objective:
    1. Students will use their PGCPS login multiple times to show they are prepared for this year's Media Arts lessons.
  2. Announcements:
    1. No late work for this Quarter will be accepted after Thursday, October 16th!
      1. This deadline is 2 weeks before the end of the Quarter. That time is needed to ensure all late work handed in before then is graded in a timely fashion.
  1. Today's Lesson: Intro to Media Arts
    1. Grading Rubric:
      5 Points Student logged into the computer with minimal assistance, was able to attempt an activity in Typing.com.
      4 Points Student was able to log into the computer with some assistance from Mr. Smith.
      3 Points Student attempted to log in. Keep at it, you'll get there soon!
      0 Points Student was absent or made no attempt to log into the computer.
    2. Today we begin our journey in Media Arts. Most of our activities will be art based, but sometimes we'll still cover a few of the basics.
    3. Today, Mr. Smith will hand out this year's "Internet Passports."
      1. These folded papers will include your username and password. Your username will resemble your name, but you'll notice some differences.
        1. Your username is all lowercase letters. It usually does not matter if a username has capital or lowercase letters, it will still work.
        2. Your username has a hyphen (minus sign) between your first and last name instead of a space. If your name normally has a hyphen anywhere else, that will be missing.
        3. There may be other differences, including missing letters, extra letters, a number, or a name you no longer use.
      2. Unlike your username, your password is a secret.
        1. You're allowed to share your password with your parents and teachers.
        2. You should not share your password with siblings or any other students.
        3. If someone uses your password to do something online, you're responsible for their actions.
    4. With your Internet Passwords in hand, you'll get to log into the lab computers.
      1. If you were in Mr. Smith's class last year, this will look very familiar.
      2. If you weren't in Mr. Smith's class last year, he's here to help.
      3. Mr. Smith WILL NOT type your username or password for you. This is a graded activity for you to complete!
    5. Once you're logged in, Mr. Smith will help you get onto the internet and visit this website.
      1. If you're here, congratulations! You made it!
      2. Now log into Clever and visit Typing.com to do the Pre-Typing lessons while Mr. Smith helps the other students.
      3. (If you are absent, the make-up work is to complete all of the Pre-Typing lessons in Typing.com. Remember, though, that this will only be graded if the absence is marked as Excused by Ms. Holmes in the Main Office!)
    6. This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
