Let's start off by explaining what is meant in the world of computing when you hear "Word Processor". At GMS, we are going to use a program called Microsoft Word to write a short essay. Microsoft Word is the most commonly used word processing software in the US.

Follow the step-by-step instructions that are given by the teacher to open this software.

Typing Pal & New York Times Tech Article

Today, we will start class by reviewing the assigned Typing Pal Exercise lessons. Then, I want you to visit NYTimes Technology news website to begin choosing an article for your next project. Don't forget that STUDY ISLAND pre-tests are due by week's end!

Please copy the URL of the web address for the article you choose, and paste it into a new Microsoft Word document. Save the document as "LastName Essay"

After the video, we will do our final overview of the MSBCS Class Contract that is to be signed by each student.

Introducing Business & Computer Science

Let's start off with a quick overview of the class website and contract. Then, we will begin to explore things over the next week that will have you prepared to succeed in this class as well as all of your others here at GMS!

8th & 7th Graders (COMPLETE TODAY)

Before you do anything else today, you are going to answer a few short questions. Please use complete sentences that fully develop your thoughts. At the end of your comments, put your initials. Example, my name is Andy Coleman, so I would put "AC" at the end.

1) What stands out most in your mind about this Business & Computer Science class? Good or bad.

2) What could be done to improve the BCS class for future GMS students?

3) What things do you wish you could have learned in this class that you did not?

4) Is there any software that you know of that we did not use, and would be really good for middle school students to learn?

5) What do you like about doing projects in a group? What do you not like about group work? How could I improve the projects we did?
