Week 33
Dear 223 ILT Families,

We meet again...welcome back to our class blog.  It has been a busy week of testing in 223 ILT.  Students took a mid-term keyboarding assessment to see how close to typing "25-30 wpm with fewer than 5 errors" they have reached.  Next there was the Unit 6 post-test on Edwin so students could demonstrate their understanding of Research and Information Fluency concepts and skills.  Then we wrapped up our week with Part 2 of the Learning.com assessment trial.  Take a breath, it's all over!

We will return to our research during Week 33, May 4-8, 2015.  First we will synthesize our notes and create an outline using the template we recorded in our Online Interactive Notebook (a.k.a. Research 2015 document).  Next we may need to return to our trusted Internet sources for more fact-finding.  Then we will type the bibliography page using the citations we recorded in MLA format for each source we visited. After we will share our drafts with a peer for feedback before we begin the task of typing the 2-page research paper during Week 34 meetings.

Do you remember this creepy fellow?  Yes, it's Tetanus, getting ready for a brief nap.  I am posting this picture to remind you of how search engines work.  So, do you remember?  Post a comment with your response.  Be sure your response follows Digital Etiquette--our published writing is visible for the world to see.

Enjoy your weekend,
Ms. Thackston-Dodge
