2. Please Find Your SeatGet out a pen or pencil and assign yourself to the Do Now

3. Goals • Create presentationsusing PowerPointwhich include transitions, formatting, animations, images, and hyperlinking • Create documentsusing wordincluding reports, resumes, tables of contents, and cover pages • Create spreadsheetsusing exceland perform data analysis including sorting, graphing, and functions

4. Entry Routine • Wake the computer by moving the mouse or hitting a button on the keyboard • Log in by typing the username aimstudent## and the password kipp@dc123 • While the computer is logging in, fill in the do now • When the computer is logged in, open up the internet icon and go to www.kipptech.wordpress.com. Open the document of the day by clicking on the underlined text • Once the document is open, go to www.typingweb.com. Click on "start typing" and log in using the same information as in step 2. Follow the directions on screen to work on your typing while the class settles

5. Grading • Your grade will consist of exams and work products • Work Products - Every day you will produce some sort of document in this class. Some days these will be collected and graded on how well they demonstrate mastery of the target skill. Other days I will collect an exit slip to test conceptual mastery • Exams - Each of our three units will have an exam where you will be given a basic document and a list of changes to make. You will be allowed to use your notes on the exam, so make sure you put your names on your papers when I collect them so I can return them to you for each test • You will either receive a pass or a fail in this class

6. Behavior - Rewards • I schedule every class with 5 minutes of slack. If we have orderly transitions and silent classes, I will give you what time we don't need to spend mastering the material or correcting behavior with computer free time

7. Daily Routine • Enter, open up the day's document from kipptech.wordpress.com, practice typing • Mini-lesson where I will demonstrate the skill we will be mastering that day • Guided practice where we will work the skills on a small scale together • Independent practice where you will produce the day's work product. The first five minutes of independent practice will be silent work time. If we are focused and on task, I will permit you to have side conversations with your neighbors if you continue to work. If we get too loud or distracted, we will work in silence. • Exit slip if I'm not collecting the work product that day

8. Restroom and Punishments • I will let students go to the bathroom during the independent practice, but not during the last 5 minutes of class. • You earn $5 for your special. Misbehavior will result in paycheck marks. Lose all 5 in one day and you lose songfest the week. If you need more than 5 reminders to act like an 8th grader, we will escalate through other consequences as necessary.

9. Exit Routine If I am not collecting your work: • Close down all programs and log off • Fill in your exit slip • Assign yourself until dismissed • If I am collecting work for the day, close out of any other programs you have up but leave open the document to grade

10. Work Product For Today Follow the entry routine: • Log on to your machines • Go to kipptech.wordpress.com and open up this PowerPoint • Go to typingweb.com and log in and start a few typing exercises When I give the signal to practice logging out • Close out of everything • Log off the machine • Fill out your exit slip
