8th Grade - Final Publisher Project
You should have created a "logo" for your real/fictitious business by now. Over the next few days, we will be using that logo to create a FLYER and BUSINESS CARD that could be used by your business to sell your product or service.
You must save your logo as an image file before it can be used in Microsoft Publisher.

What is a LOGO anyway?
A logo is a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons) or are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or wordmark).

Working Safely With Computers
Believe it or not, more people visit the doctor each year because of health problems related to improper computer use than almost any other job out there! We will start today with a 20 minute video that demonstrates the RIGHT way to use a computer work station.
If you think the video is boring, make the most out of this brief learning opportunity! It's better than reading 50 pages in an old computer book, right? :)
