Welcome back everybody! Looking forward to seeing everyone after a great break! Information Technology class 2 will start off this term by learning classroom expectations and procedures for this term. Students will be getting their IT accounts that we will be using this term. They will also be getting accounts for GMETRIX and Certiport, which we will talk a great deal about later.
Students will then be working towards earning their MOS certification for Microsoft Word 2016. These certifications are not only used as our summative assessments for the term, but they also look great on job applications as these our industry-recognized certifications. Normally, these tests would cost around $96 each, but because of a partnership we have with the University of Nebraska and Microsoft, we are able to offer the MOS certification exams to our students in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access for free. It is very rare that you find a high school course that offers you the opportunity to leave with such powerful tools that can really help students to be career-college ready and can really boost a resume.
We will see everybody on Monday!
