Welcome Class of 2020!

A wonderful adventure in technology awaits you this school year.  Together we will look at computers in a new way with a focus on managing electronic information and conducting research.  With the 1:1 initiative taking place at BIS it will be a great opportunity to discover how technological innovations have changed the way we learn and work in the 21st Century.

September will begin with a review of Google Docs and quickly move into a look at the history of computers and internal computer components, the BIS Network, decoding URLs, digital citizenship, and keyboarding skills.  It will wrap-up in the Library with Mrs. Anthony for Library Media Skills--using virtual libraries, like the new Destiny online "card catalog".

This week in Room 223 we will engage in getting to know you activities.  I am eager to meet all of you and begin our 180-day adventure in Information Literacy & Technology.  See you tomorrow!

Sincerely,
Ms. Thackston-Dodge
