Parents: This is our first year to have this class, the schedule above is my hope for this year. Since this is a new course and I do not fall under the Career Tech umbrella I will be writing grants and doing fund raising to get materials. If your company or you know of one that has grant opportunities, please let me know! You can also make a class donation in the front office at anytime. My wish list is at: http://bit.ly/TechWish2013 (address is case sensitive)

Also, in this class we will be using the internet for researching and to post our work. My goal is to teach them to do this safely. Kids will never post full names or other information online and I will always be there to guide them when searching for information online. Please make sure you have signed the internet/media consent form as well as the Acceptable Use Policy before the end of this week. (You signed this at Registration, if you are unsure, I have extras!) Thank you and I look forward to having a wonderful year!
