Dear Class:

Please finish defining the following terms and save them on your server account with the file name “last name first vocabulary3”. Please define these five terms and save.

1. NTSC
2. ATSC
3. HDMI
4. S-Video
5. Film-cadence (detection)

I am sorry about the online test. I ended up printing it and will give it to you today during class.

We will finishing everything we learned thus far together and produce a two page report on a technology item or concept of your choice. You will have to research it, have at least five sites you will rely on for the paper (you do not have to rely on all of them but you have to verify your information). You will have to provide a citation page for these. The research paper will be posted on turnitin.com and must have either a green or blue color. Yellow, orange, and yellow will not be accepted. If any papers are not accepted, it will result in an "F" grade. You will have to resubmit a new topic and do a completely new paper! I expect you to have most, if not all the research done today and have begun the introductory paragraph. The next class you will be doing your citations and working on the paper itself. Again, any copy and paste will be detected and dealt with...so don't do it! I would suggest you copy and paste the web site and any information you think you will use onto a word document and then synthesis it into your final research on a separate document.

This will be submitted at turnitin.com. We will set your account up today with the class id 3176608. Class is Infotech 2010 and the password is ddhsinfotech. I have it set so that the drop dead submittal date is 3-11-10 at 3:00 p.m.

Finally, (Issues of Change PowerPoint). Find 10 jobs that are IT related; make sure they include the salaries, requirements for the job, and the website you got it from.)

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
