An EduTyping Start to the Day

Good Morning -

As opposed to writing a blog response today, we are going to make a little headway on Edutyping.  To kick off our block period, please complete lessons 17.1, 17.2 and 18.1 :)

Thanks!  You can rest your fingers for a moment between lessons!!

Nelson Mandela

Good Morning!!  Happy Tuesday!!  To kick off this morning I posted a quote from Nelson Mandela who passed away last week.  Mr. Mandela said, "do not judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again."  ~ Nelson Mandela  What does this quote mean to you and why, in your opinion, would anyone want to be judged by the number of times they fell down and got back up?  In fact, what does that mean?

Thanks for your thoughtful response!  We will get started with Current Events shortly!


Once you have completed the blog post, please complete lesson 16.2 on EduTyping

Staying Focused and Being Consistent

Yesterday I actually sat down for a minute and watched some of the 49ers game.  The fact I was born and raised in the bay area and my wife's whole family is from Seattle - bragging rights were definitely on the line.  In any case, as I watched, Russell Wilson made a comment “You just take one day at a time and ignore the noise. It's about staying focused and being consistent on a daily basis - that's what a pro does."  What did Russell Wilson specifically mean when he made that comment and how does it extend to every part of your life and your future?  Specifically address the importance of staying focused, consistent and "ignoring the noise."  Thanks and we will get started shortly!

Please complete Edutyping lesson 16.1

December has Arrived!!

Good Morning, Welcome Back and Happy December!  Although we have been talking about how quickly the semester is going, it is crazy to think it is already December 2nd.  In fact, in just two weeks you will be taking your first semester final exams!

Today we are going to transition into Microsoft Excel - another powerful tool that will undoubtedly help you as you move through high school, college and life.  Our main goal with excel (given our limited time) is to ensure you know how to navigate the program and use the different tools available.

Before getting started, and even though it is a bit redundant, discuss what needs to be done over the next 2 weeks to ensure you get the best grades possible!!  Feel free to highlight which classes you need to focus the most attention towards and why.  In addition, do you feel you are responsible for getting the best grades possible?  Do the grades you get affect anyone besides yourself?  Explain?!?

Thank you and we will get started shortly!
