Welcome to LA Tech!

     Welcome to Tech Class!  You will have Tech class throughout the year.  Sometimes we will use a writing period for tech, other times, when we are working on a Tech project, we may reserve the lab for several days in a row.  You will be using technology a lot in Language Arts class as a way to communicate with other people , record your reading, share your work and show what you know. 
     Today 7th graders will begin to design their own blogs and 8th graders will decide what they want their blogs to look like this year.  We will learn how to sign in and work on choosing a template--or design--for the blogs.  The 8th graders are pros at this and will have a 7th grade buddy to help during tech class this year.  Here is a list of your tech buddies.  You will be sitting near them in the computer lab and this person should be the first person you go to for help. 

Tech Buddies

     Ethan-Jessica
          Kyle-Connor W
    Tyler-Emma
   Caleb-Alex

     You will also be getting a Tech password handout.  It is your responsibility to keep track of your log in information and passwords.  Please keep this paper in the Tech section of your binders and record any user names and passwords that you have.  It can be very frustrating if you can't log into a site or your blog!

     I am looking forward to an exciting year of Language Arts and technology!  Remember to be respectful and responsible online. Happy Blogging!
