Today - March 17th, 2014

Here are some things that you should do today...

1.  Finish your Haiku Deck!!!!!  And share THE LINK in the google form.  I haven't been able to link everyone on our picture to a Haiku Deck.
2.  Make a banner for your blog on PicMonkey (save it in your google drive)
3.  Write an actual blog post.  Check it for spelling and grammar before you publish it.
Here are some ideas:

• the last book I read
• what I am doing right now (a list of all your favorite things right now)
• Mundy is...
• If I could be a superhero, I would be...

4.  Make your own Avatar for your blog, just like Mrs. Johann's!  Try out one of these websites:

• http://www.planetcreation.co.uk/createpic/
• http://doppelme.com/

5.  Adjust the fonts and colors of your blog to your liking if you have not already done so.

6.  Create your own Haiku Deck to share with Mrs. Cherry called "Mundy Is..."

7.  Explore websites for coding.  Play around and see which ones seem easy to use and try some out!

Geek Squad What's Happenin'

 Geek Squad is a place where you can join in with other people who love technology! There are many activities and tips that are given to you by our very own, Mrs. Johann.

   Ever wanted to start a blog but didn't know how? At Geek Squad, you can design your own blogs about whatever you want! Mrs. Johann gives great ideas for your blogs, or just recommends interesting blogs to read.

   For example, an anonymous interviewee, who decided to be named Pineapple Trees, has told us some fun ideas and useful tips for our blogs. She has also mentioned things that we have learned so far in Geek Squad.

                        Interview with Pineapple Trees

What do you like about Geek Squad?

Pineapple Trees: I like how it teaches us how to blog and, um, do cool things with the computer. And you know how Mrs. Johann taught us how to center the wording on Microsoft? I would ALWAYS press the space bar. All the time.

Does it make life easier for you?

PT: Now it does, yeah. *giggles* The spacebar sucked.

Yeah, that took forever. What else have you been learning in Geek Squad?

PT: To be nice and safe online. I also like how it teaches you digital citizenship.

Is there anything else you enjoy about Geek Squad?

PT: Mrs. Johann recommends good blogs for us to read, which are very engaging. She teaches us how to keep our blogs private and how to make our blogs interesting to read.

  Another interview, with Michael S., shows that he is excited about the idea of blogging in Geek Squad. According to Michael, he looks forward to coding, which is computer programming. I hope you all enjoy Geek Squad as much as Pineapple Trees, Michael, and me.
