Dear Class:
Open up the first vocabulary file you saved last class. Please finish defining the following terms and save them on your server account with the file name “last name first vocabulary”. Please add the next five and define them as well.
1. RAM
2. CPU
3. DVD burner
4. TV tuner card
5. Video Card
6. LCD monitor
7. Surround Sound speakers
8. Computer Motherboard
9. Wireless Network Adapter
10. Optical Mouse
We will have a discussion on these terms. These terms will be part of the vocabulary that you will have to know for a test. There will be 20 total words that you will have to define as well as the information from the timeline you will work on today.
Furthermore, the first 13 words will be incorporated into a “virtual computer” that you will have to use the internet to search for each item, price them, and give me a final tally of what you “spent” on the hardware.
Introduction to students on the parameters of a search and internet.
http://hs.ddouglas.k12.or.us/ To go to this website, hold down the “Ctrl” key and click on the site.
We will go to the Library and Media Center, then to OSLIS, 'Learn How to do Research'. We will talk about 'defining' a term and then open 'Online Research Planner'. You will be filling this out based upon a targeted Research Paper that you will do that deals with technology. You will be researching a current technology area that interests you. For instance: nanotechnology, newest computer chips, robotics, metals technologies, "green" power generation, etc.
We will be starting with the basic parameters of research. We will be completing the worksheet by evaluating directories, search engines and metasearch engines. We will be using EBSCO Username: ddouglas
Password: ddhs
You will send me a copy of your finished work of the 'Online Research Planner' to me after you “save as”, rename with your last name and worksheet and e-mail it to me at jgreenhite@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:
I want you to go to Class Survey Link
Always start the class by doing two things: Go to my web page and then to my blog with this information. Secondly, please open up your student account on the DDHS server. If you do not remember, go back to my web page and in the side bar, just down from the link to this blog, there is an area that shows you how to connect to the server. Make sure you have this open so you can save the below vocabulary to it.
(Where to save your documents: Your documents will be saved on the fileserver for this school. That fileserver can be logged on by going to “Start”, right click on “My Computer” and click on “Map Network Drive”. You will enter in “Z:” For your address, it will be \\10.52.254.110\ and then the last two number of the year you will graduate and then your last name first, first name last (I would suggest right clicking after selecting your year and name and “copy” it. When you enter this address, it will then prompt you for your id and password. Paste in the above and then enter your student number for the password.)
Create a folder entitled "Information Technology"
I want to make sure you have a gmail e-mail account. Even if you already have one, I want a new one. You are required to have a gmail account since we will be looking at how to use gmail documents. So, you need to create an account using ddhs...then your name.gmail.com. For example, if your name was Joe Brown, your account would be ddhsjoebrown@gmail.com.
After everyone has finished creating a gmail account, we will look at PowerPoint on Into to IT. Info Tech PP link
We will look at attaching files. When to ZIP a file and when not to and about compression and how to log on the server.
Rather than a link, I want you to copy the below website and then paste it into we web address box. To do so, triple click the line or select manually, hit control+C to copy and then create a new internet window and paste it in, either by holding the control key and pressing V or right clicking the mouse and click "paste".
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/file-compression.htm
This is an exercise and can be used to determine your grade by awarding points to those with it on their screens!
Now, please open up a word file. Put your name, the class, and the class period in the upper left hand margin. Please define the following terms and save them on your server account with the file name “last name first vocabulary”.
RAM
CPU
DVD burner
TV tuner card
Video Card
Make a folder entitled “Vocabulary”.
We will have a discussion on these terms. These terms will be part of the vocabulary that you will have to know for a test. There will be 20 total words that you will have to define as well as the information from the timeline you will work on today.
Furthermore, the first 13 words will be incorporated into a “virtual computer” that you will have to use the internet to search for each item, price them, and give me a final tally of what you “spent” on the hardware.
Introduce students to parameters of a search.

Today we will be looking at what we will be doing in information technology.
Today we will be talking about what is required in the class and what I expect from you. The general rules are: No gum, no food, no hats and no drink. This policy is strictly enforced! A warning will be given in the first instance. After that, I will make a notation in the grade book of non-participation and deduct points. Absolutely no playing around the computers, damaging them, or being on social networking such as facebook. I will take a screen shot and send it to the administrator immediately!
When you come into class, please turn on the computers. To find out what we are covering during any given class day, I should have it posted on the blog.
Assignments Due: If you are absent, please look at the day in which you were absent to see what you missed. You have the number of days you were absent to make up missed work unless you get special permission to do otherwise.
How to access today’s assignment: Go to “http://ddhsinfotech.blogspot.com” or follow the link from the David Douglas High School Web Page under "e-portfolios".
Printers: Be familiar where your computer prints to. Do not print more than once! Any printing other than for school or this class will cost 25 cents per page.
Where to save your documents: Your documents will be saved on the fileserver for this school. That fileserver can be logged on by going to “Start”, right click on “My Computer” and click on “Map Network Drive”. You will enter in “Z:” (unless you are an upperclassman and use the “H:” drive instead). For your address, it will be \\10.52.254.110\ and then the last two number of the year you will graduate and then your last name first, first name last (I would suggest right clicking after selecting your year and name and “copy” it. When you enter this address, it will then prompt you for your id and password. Paste in the above and then enter your student number for the password. We will be doing that today in class
Where to send your completed documents: Final documents will be submitted to my e-mail at jgreenhite@gmail.com or to your shared documents on your e-portfolios. Your first assignment will be to create a yahoo account with your first initial, last name and then DDHS@gmail.com.
The class will begin by investigating what is in a computer and how it works using terminology. We will begin with what is in a computer in general. As we are doing that, we will look at the internet . We will then proceed with the basic aspects computer architecture and IT careers, programming, operating systems applications, application architecture, Internet and emerging technologies. Info Tech PP link
First, I would like you to answer the questions on the blog and submit them.
You are required to have a gmail account since we will be looking at how to use gmail documents. So, you need to create an account using ddhs...then your name.gmail.com.
Please save your answers on the server. If you cannot, please hand in the completed information above into the tray with the class period.
I want you to go to Class Survey Link
Rest of the class period familiarize with the computers in front of students.

Dear Class:
You will do four photoshop tutorials in which you will choose four tutorials from the below sites, complete the tutorial in its entirety, copy the web site you got it from and paste it into your tutorial you completed. The web sites you can go to for the tutorials:
www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/photoshop
www.good-tutorials.com/tutorials/photoshop
www.photoshopcafe.com/tutorials
www.grafx-design.com
Please send these tutorials to me via e-mail at jgreenhite@gmail.com. They must be saved in Photoshop format! Some of you are completely done. The last assignment in Photoshop is to create your own tutorial and write the instructions to complete it. You can take "screen" shots by pushing the "F14" button and pasting it into a word document.
Today is the "drop dead" day for these tutorials; the four you chose and the one you created. We will go to Powerpoint on Wednesday.
Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite
