This first week in Info Tech 2 has been learning to use the video software we will be working with to create our video tutorials that will show our understanding of necessary computer app skills. These video tutorials will also be a resource to other students who want to learn to use software, or to get caught up on instruction if they were absent.
Next week we will jump right in to Microsoft Excel. We will be learning to use advanced features of the program with the intent to make ourselves more marketable in a technology-reliant world.

Word Processing
Info Tech 1 students have been introduced to Microsoft Office 2013, which we have in our business labs for the first time this year. The first program we are using is Word. Students have done a few introduction activities including making a human timeline of technology history, and using various sources to put together a page about themselves.
We finished up by looking at essential skills for Microsoft Word and demonstrated which of those we are able to do. Next week we will be doing some word processing, editing assignments, and business letters. These will allow us to demonstrate how to use features of Microsoft Word, as well as show how it can be used in many every day situations.

Emerging Technologies
After finishing some intensive database work, we are now ready for some emerging technologies. Students will be seeing trends, and finding application of emerging technologies in today's world. Students will start off learning ins and outs of Google Maps. After Google Maps, we will be working with some coding. Students will get an introduction to code, block-based coding, and some Java code. Students will do some activities, and game creation, and will finish up with an interactive design for a web page. We will end the week by looking at some other technologies such as text-to-speech synthesis, Google Glass, and Microsoft HoloLens.
Students will turn in a research paper reflecting on emerging technologies, and how they see them evolving the next 5-10 years.
