<br />
1. If you get red dots from ten different countries you will not have to take your final exam. How can you improve the reach of your blog?<br />
<br />
2. Utilize an online/free animator like <a href="http://www.powtoon.com/" target="_blank">PowToon</a> to add a video to any of your websites. If PowToon doesn't work search for another option.<br />
<br />
3. Play with <a href="http://code.org/">Code.org</a>. This is a bit easy, but it will help with coding logic. Can you solve all the problems?<br />
<br />
4. <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">Take the</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;"> </span><a href="http://www.typingtest.com/" style="color: #336699; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">typing test </a><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">.</span><br />

<li>Put your score in your blog (be honest!) and see if it improves later.</li>
<li>Don't say "I took a typing test". Say "I took a <a href="http://typingtest.com/" style="color: #336699;">typing test</a>". Demonstrate that you know how to code a link.</li>

Often it takes a negative connotation--"He hacked into the computer files"--but it in schools we are seeing more and more students hack solutions. The Makey Makey is a product of hacking.<div>

I enjoy following <a href="http://new.musichackday.org/" target="_blank">Music Hack Day.</a></div>

Today we will practice our HTML skills while we look at <a href="http://johnnylee.net/" target="_blank">Johnny Lee</a>.</div>

<ul>
<li>Embed the TED video <i>(How do you embed a video?) </i></li>
<li>Create a table that lists the parts needed and their approximate cost. <i>(Can we format the table so TH and TD are used effectively? Should there be a border?)</i></li>
<li>Links to more information. Use google to search effectively. <i>(How will you display this information? A list? A paragraph?)</i></li>
<li>A basic description of how it is done. <i>(Be sure your website explains the process. Can you write an effective description?)</i></li>
</ul>
<div>
Show me when done.</div>

<br />
2. Students who are done with all work will do the following. I am encouraging you to use Google to search for ideas. If you figure something out use your blog to document so other people can use YOU as a resource. First bullet point is easiest, progressing to harder:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Use the Hopscotch App on iPad to:</li>
<ul>
<li>Can you have character draw a square?</li>
<li>Can you have character draw a loop/circle?</li>
<li>How about your signature? Or a stick figure person? These are a series of loops and lines. Can you program it?</li>
</ul>
<li>Use the Makey Makey to:</li>
<ul>
<li>Operate like a mouse</li>
<li>Play a game on your computer</li>
<li>Create a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkPt9MYqDW0" target="_blank">musical instrument/keyboard</a> </li>
</ul>

1. <a href="http://shsweb.blogspot.com/2014/05/snow-fall.html" target="_blank">Snow Fall</a>. Some of you completed this, but I asked you to resubmit it. Please make any needed corrections. I am testing your reading of content and your ability to create a modern blog post. <br />
<br />
2. <a href="http://shsweb.blogspot.com/2014/05/html-tables.html" target="_blank">Favorites</a>. Some of you clearly needed more time on this. Some of you, however, did not work on it at all. Please be sure to complete today.<br />
<br />
Both assignments must be submitted, and correct, by the end of class.<br />

Everyone is talking about this piece in the NY Times. It won a Pulitzer Prize which is a top award for newspapers. It is an amazing blend of video, text, graphics, and audio. You should read it with your headphones on.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">That's right, a newspaper piece you read with your headphones on.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">This is a "long read". Take the time. It is worth it. I realize that some of you are slower readers and this might end up being homework. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">Your test grade is a blog entry. We have not had a test yet this marking period. Your question: "How will writing change in the digital age?". Be sure to reference this Snow Fall text.</span><br />

<br />
Then <a href="http://www.drawastickman.com/" style="color: #336699;">Draw a Stickman</a>. Wouldn't you like to learn how to do that?<br />
<br />
You will create a one page website about your current class schedule. This website should include:</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">

<li><a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_styles.asp" style="color: #336699;">Background color</a> other than white.

Write blog posts to increase the quality of your blog (see topics below). You need posts that people will link to, email their friends, post on twitter.

Using google you will find blogs to comment on. You will leave comments everywhere. You will make the comments interesting and they will extend the conversation. Be sure to leave your blog address in the comment info!!!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.899999618530273px;">6. If you breath: Whats in the air that you breath?
