0 Wednesday 7A Substitute Class

Hello 7th Graders.  I'm sorry I will be missing you today, but I can't wait to show you some of the cool things I learn at this technology conference! Please do your best today and tomorrow for your Sub.  I left a note telling her how great your class is, please don't disappoint.

Follow ALL the steps below to complete today's class.  Tomorrow, there will be a new post for tomorrow's class and you will follow ALL of those instructions.

1. Please log into your Diigo accounts.  Check your school sites table if you don't remember the log-in.  Most likely, it is something like lastname_first name18 and your ID +00.  You can always put in your school email address and click the "forgot password" button if you need to. (Then you will have to check your email in Google Apps to reset the password.)

2.  You need to make sure you have the following websites bookmarked and TAGGED into your Diigo accounts. Ask a classmate if you don't remember how to bookmark.  Just click bookmark in the toolbar at the top of screen once logged in, then fill in box.

                          - Google Apps
                          - BIS Home Page
                          - 7th Grade Technology Blog
                          - Glogster EDU
                          - X2 Student Grade Portal
                          - Discovery Education
                          - Cool Tools for School Wiki
3. Once all sites are bookmarked and tagged, please log out of your Diigo Accounts

4. Next, you will watch video tutorials on Google Earth techniques.  Even if you think you know how to do everything, I want you to watch at LEAST five of the videos below.  They are only about 1-2 minutes long each.  When you are done watching the videos, you will apply the skills you have learned in Google Earth.  (Open Google Earth off your desktop) Links for the videos are below.  There are also Gallery links to explore when you are done with the videos. Click on a gallery you want to view, for example the Titantic, then click "view in Google Earth" on the top right, then when the box comes up, click "open in Google Earth."  There are some really cool galleries.

**Do NOT just search for your house, you need to try out different things, do a 3D tour, go on the moon, Mars, and sky etc. **
