Next to the search bar, click on the gear looking icon to 'adjust thumbnail appearance'. Scroll it to the right to change your zoom to about 5 seconds. 

Use the spacebar to start and stop your video to view it. You will have to place brackets around the segment you will select for the part you will be inserting into your project. To place opening brackets, use the letter 'I'. For closing brackets, you will use the letter 'O'. Your final video should be about 1 minute long. You will click on 'mark' in the tool bar and select 'favorite'. You will see a green line appear above the part you have selected.

PowerPoint presentation (5 weeks) Took 7 weeks!

Students will start class by typing for 10 minutes. They will go to the typingweb page and log in to their accounts with the account information they have been supplied. They will practice their skills for about 10 minutes. They will be observed for correct finger positioning which will be reflected in their participation grade. I prefer that the student type slower initially but learn correct positioning. Speed will come with time and practice.

Students will be inputting their research on their chosen countries in to a PowerPoint presentation. We will complete 3 to 4 slides each class period. It is important for the students to keep up and not fall behind on this project. Presentations will start the second week of May.

Students may come to the lab in the mornings after 8:15 or stop by the lab for a lunch recess pass in the morning before the start of classes if they need additional time to work on their projects.

Please do not fall behind on this!!!
