OGT Week / Dreamweaver

We had OGT week this week, so it was a weird week. Half-day students had to be Tuesday and Thursday from 8:30 to 11:06. If full students had to take OGT’s they had to take OGT’s from 8:30 to 10:30 and then go to regular schedule from 1030:12:15.

We also did a Dreamweaver assignment to learn how to create websites.

Juniors learn computer components

ITC I students learned what all the parts are that operate their computers. They learned to identify the parts and explain their function within the computer. They then learned how to remove and replace the parts within the computers. This simulation helps them understand how to install new parts or replace broken parts if they work for a help desk.

      
  

BPA Pin Design Contest

Every year each of the 50 states participating in BPA holds a Pin Design Contest. Students compete to have their pin design selected to represent the state at national competitions. The design chosen will be turned into an actual pin that will be given to those who win state competitions and continue to national events. At nationals, the pins are traded with students from other states to see who can get the most pins from different states.
