**Clarification on Project Grader**
There are 5 opportunities to upload Project Graders - these HAVE to be submitted in E-Lab. You will not receive credit unless it is in E-Lab. You will receive the grade that E-Lab shows. There are a lot of zeros in my grade book. PLEASE make sure PGs are in E-Lab for grades. ALSO, make sure you're doing BOTH Project Graders.
Chapter 3 & 4 Excel E-Lab files are under the Computer Apps Tab-->Microsoft Excel-->YOUR CHAPTER.
REMINDER: Test on Tuesday; assignments due Tuesday at the beginning of class as well. If you are utilizing the Self Assessment, do this BEFORE you take the test.

I have decided to to give you a catch up day today. There are so many assignments out still as many of you were gone for school activities last week. Please get ALL of your assignments done today during the block - UPLOAD THEM AND PRINT AND TURN IN TO MRS. DULITZ. ***PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ME YOUR PROJECT GRADER ASSIGNMENTS - UPLOAD THOSE. THE DATES HAVE BEEN CHANGED.*** I just wanted you to send me an email saying you have uploaded yours so I know to check the score. ALSO - since there were so many assignments out, you obviously haven't learned much from the chapter which reflects on your test score. TODAY AND TONIGHT would be a good time to go over the Excel Ch 2 Self Assessment. YOU CAN ACCESS E-LAB on your phones - use this! TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31 will be your Excel Chapter 2 re-test! Going forward, you will have the remainder of Wednesday, all of Thursday, Friday and Monday to complete assignments. This is plenty of time as Excel Chapter 3 is super short. If you are gone, it is up to YOU to complete your assignments on TIME. You know the schedule way ahead of time, there is no excuse - work on it at home if you need to in Office 365. (In case you didn't see the announcement a few weeks ago, there's a tab to go to for information to access the book from home..). Excel Chapter 3 Test will be next Tuesday, November 6. You will not be able to do the Self Assessment the day of the test. Please make sure to do this on your own time.
Those of you who do have everything submitted, please work on homework from another class OR use the book and Self Assessment to study for the retest tomorrow. Be quiet as others need to work on late assignments.

A couple of things have been brought to my attention:
FIRST OF ALL: WHY ARE SO MANY OF YOU NOT DOING YOUR PROJECT GRADERS??! Why!? CHAPTER 2 PROJECT GRADERS ARE WORTH 100 POINTS!!! 60 FOR THE FIRST ONE; 40 FOR THE SECOND ONE. THIS ISN'T NEW! EACH CHAPTER YOU HAVE HAD THESE TO DO. ALL ASSIGNMENTS WERE DUE FRIDAY...ANYTHING NOT SUBMITTED FRIDAY OR BEFORE WILL RECEIVE A 0 THEN A LATE GRADE IF TURNED IN.
*****EMAIL ME TO LET ME KNOW TO CHECK YOUR CH 2 PROJECT GRADERS GRADE, I WILL NOT BE CHECKING FOR UPDATES. THIS IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CHANGE YOUR GRADE.*****
2. Many assignments are being turned in without a name on them. From now on, your name and assignment title go on the top of the spreadsheet. Questions? Ask Mrs. Dulitz
3. Many of you are skimming through the book during the main assignment and only catching on to half of what you should be learning. For Chapter 3, Mrs. Dulitz will go through the chapter with you. Everything on the tests is in the book.
4. Less than 10% of you are doing the Self Assessment. Those who are doing it are only doing it ONCE and completing it the morning of the test. For the current chapter, as of 1pm, 5 out of 33 of you attempted the Self Assessment. 4 Completed it.
5. I have said this MANY times in the announcements...you are able to submit your Project Grader up to 5 times. If you're satisfied with a 60%, that's your decision, but you can do this 4 more times for a chance to get a better grade.
I'll be back next Wednesday...

A couple of things: I'm not sure why there are so many missing assignments right now. Mrs. Dulitz has a copy of what is out from who. There are many documents that she does not have so therefore you do not have a grade. A lot of these are also not uploaded to E-Lab. I'm wondering why this is happening? ALSO: I received Extra Credit from Tyler, Cade, Olivia, Averie, Kennedy and Randi. Great job you guys! As of RIGHT NOW there are not any extra credit opportunities. I will let you know via this website when there is so I would strongly suggest keeping an eye on this website for that announcement. There will probably be extra credit in Chapter 3. Again, 5 submissions available for the Project Grader.
I am disappointed in some of the Word Chapter 4 'E' Assignments. If I would have graded you based on your comments, punctuation, layout, not even items asked in the directions, many of you would not have passing grades or close to not passing. Some of these were a little out there. To those who actually tried and gave "professional" information, you will extra points added to your total for these assignments. Mrs. Vander Linden graded these in the past - if/when these assignments are used again, please take them seriously as most of you did.
As of right now: Assignments due Thursday 10-25; Test Friday 10-26. NO EXTRA CREDIT RIGHT NOW.
I will be back Wednesday, November 7.
Email me what you've learned so far in excel by the end of the block. [Today, Monday Oct 22 only!]

Congratulations on completing the Microsoft Word portion of the book! 1/3 of the way done! With that being said, there are many of you without grades in the grade book. SEE MRS. DULITZ for more information or to update your grade. As soon as I get the go ahead from her to change your grade, I will. She has a list of WHAT is missing. Check your grade in Infinite Campus for more information and to see if there is something you're missing. She is grading the physical copies (Just like Mrs. V) so you need to PRINT IT OFF WITH YOUR NAME ON IT for a grade! Extend Your Skills is not included in your grade yet. I will update that grade as soon as I receive the grades. They will go on this quarter's grades.
ALSO: PROJECT GRADER INFORMATION - many of you didn't utilize the multiple opportunities available to you for the Project Grader. There are multiple submissions. If you want to resubmit it for a better grade, I will accept them by end of the day (11:59pm) TODAY! (REMEMBER - TECHNICALLY EVERYTHING WAS DUE LAST WEEK). Use this opportunity to bump your grade up!
MICROSOFT EXCEL
This week you will work on Chapter 1 of Excel. Right now I have the test scheduled for Thursday! Date is subject to change.

I think I have figured out a way for you to view the book online but I believe only 1-2 people can view this at a time. If you are gone and need to view, please contact me. Under the Computer Apps tab, go to the Vital Source Library tab to view directions or other tips if you cannot access this online. While you're in class, there is not reason to use the online version. I want to keep this open during class time in case someone needs to use this outside of class.

A new chapter, a new start. Chapter 4 will be the last Microsoft Word Chapter. Immediately after the chapter, you will take the Microsoft Word Unit Test. This is over chapters 1-4.
REMINDERS
There were 3 Project Graders that received 0's because the incorrect file was uploaded (wrong chapter, wrong file, etc.). You need to double check WHAT you are uploading
I WILL be randomly spot checking assignments. Please remember to do your own work.
STUDY TOOLS/ONLINE BOOK ACCESS
I am working on getting access to a website so everyone is able to view the book online and watch videos/create flashcards. I am hoping to have this accessible soon. Keep checking back for more information.
Go to the tab under Computer Apps called VitalSource for information on how to access the book online.
I will be back in a couple weeks, please keep on track so we can continue with the book and do some "fun" things afterwards.

Going forward, you will be asked to complete the 3 Extend Your Skills assignments at the end of each chapter beginning today. NO ONE should have the exact same document, layout, border, colors, etc. You will not be able to use each other's documents or trade documents as I have been told is happening.
Using/borrowing/printing off another copy of your assignment is also known as a form of cheating - it's not your own work. Clicking through your tests to find the question that your friend next to you is on to compare answers/tell them the answer/look at the answer is also known as CHEATING. I can see how long each person spends on each question, the order of the questions that are answered, each click, each answer change, etc.
DO NOT CHEAT! IF YOU ARE CAUGHT CHEATING (which means handing in or doing any work that is not your own), administration will have to be notified.
REMINDER: Chapter 3 and beyond - you will not be reminded and your hand will not be held assignment/project grader/Extend Your Skills wise. If something is missing, the wrong assignment is uploaded, you receive a 0 on Project Grader because something was done incorrectly, you will no longer be reminded and given the opportunity to change. From the time you turn in your assignment - UPLOADED & PRINTED - you have plenty of time to go back and double check that the correct document was submitted.
FYI: You are almost done with the Microsoft Word Unit. Each unit has 4 chapters. After each chapter test, you will have a unit test that will be over chapters 1-4 of the unit you are working on.
*******IMPORTANT*******
Mrs. Vander Linden's last day will be Thursday, September 27. EVERYTHING THROUGH CHAPTER 3 NEEDS TO BE TURNED IN BEFORE SHE LEAVES. If you have makeup work to work on, were gone for athletics, sick, etc., you will need to work with her to get this done. School will be out early on Thursday and In Service is Friday. Work during study hall, homeroom or after school (if she's available) or talk with her about letting you come before/after school in the lab if someone else is able to check in and supervise. AGAIN. EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE CAUGHT UP THROUGH CHAPTER 3!

Just a reminder, Chapter 1 was the "learning the ropes" chapter. You will be responsible for double and triple checking all assignments, making sure the correct and most current document is updated. In E-Lab you can view the document you uploaded (double click to open and view it) as well as any notes and comments that were made. Think of it like this, if you turn in a physical assignment, you don't get it back with notes on what is incorrect and get to turn it back in. You hand in the correct assignment the first time.
Also, you will only get one attempt on each test. Chapter 1 was a learning experience so you could see what the layout of the test is as well as how touchy the Simulation portion is. You need to be careful to not click too many times, the test will run smoothly if you take your time and don't over click. It will not freeze or time out. Please be careful when taking you test. AGAIN, you will only get one attempt.
Athletics/Absences: Remember to view your syllabus for deadline information.
Late Work: Please view your syllabus for late work information.
