SCICU Homework: Class 14/20

Dear Class,

Here is the homework for today, if you have any questions please write your messages here. Messages will be sent to everyone, and anyone may answer.

Due Tuesday 10/23

1. S3: Have you completed your details on the DIY S3 page?

Previous homework has called for you to complete this work:

1) Learn the main features of your S3 tool (Homework 12)
2) Learn the screen shot/screen cast technology to present its main features (Homework 13).

Therefore, at this stage, for you should now be ready to :

1) Write your review of the application & post it to your SCICU e-Portfolio (Task 3, Student Instructions),
2) I recommend that you even begin working on your screen cast/screen cast (Task 4). If you have problems with Task 4, you will then be able to ask for assistance in class on Friday 10/26.

Please note once more. All students need to be ready to lead their S3 on Tuesday 10/30. You need to be well organised and to use your time well. Then, you have done everything you can to try to guarantee that your session is successful. There has been enough time to prepare and the last thing you want to do is to leave your preparations to the last minute, because it may just be too late.

Due Friday 10/26 (Please note, this date has been changed from 10/23)

2. Lesson 6: Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Please use your completed Record of Work to guide the homework you do. Everyone has the same basic tasks to complete, but individually you will most likely have different tasks to do. The Lesson 6 items listed in the Record of Work should be completed by next Friday, October 26. After Friday, I will review what you have done for grading. As usual, lesson materials and links to websites are in the Web Box on the Homepage.
