Computer Time

Alright. Today we get out computers. Hold on; it's going to be a bumpy ride.

We have two broad goals for the day, but you'll have to be patient as we work through the inevitable issues, since the computers haven't been turned on in a while.

GOAL ONE:
  • Assign netbooks.
  • Turn them on.
  • Log in using your school username and password (I *should* have these if you don't.)
GOAL TWO:
  • Access this website: www.12thWritersWorkshop.blogspot.com
  • Know that this will be your home page every day. Write it down if you need to.
  • Take this editing pretest. It should take about 20 minutes. Get as far as you can. (I know. More diagnostic stuff. But it let's me know what I don't have to teach you!)
If you're finished with these steps (or waiting to finish them), make sure that you:
  • Go back to your freewrite from yesterday. Reread it. Begin to list reasons you feel you are ready for your next steps, or questions that you have about it.
  • Pass your computer to someone who needs to take the editing pretest but is having difficulties with their computer.
  • Have a Gmail account.
  • Know how to use Google Drive (Explore it if you don't.)
