Hi Computers 9! Now that you have had several class periods to take your alphabet photos, we are ready to start compiling our work into the final project - alphabet photography collages.

1. Your folder of original photos (all the alphabet photos you have taken)
2. A collage of your first name
3. Five (5) word collages that suit the alphabet photography genre and have some sort of a theme (ie. Live, Breathe, Love, Dance, Music, Determination, Inspire, Imagine, etc.)

Computers 7 Keyboard Shortcuts assignments

Hi Computers 7! If you have missed today's class (or last class), here's your update on what we have been doing:

Last class - We completed an assignment called "Justification" where you practice using your keyboard shortcuts to justify your text left, centre, and right. See me for the assignment sheet.

Today's class - We are working on an assignment called "Bold Underline Italics" in which you practice using those three keyboard shortcuts to type a document containing all 3 text styles. This one is heavy on the typing (it's almost a full page). See me for the assignment sheet.

When you are finished, please hand in your assignment to the Computers 7 folder (hand in instructions can be found in the left column of this blog..... yes..... look left.... you will see it! Over there! Under "How to hand in files").
