<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Welcome to Technology!!!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Students will meet in Room 12 once every nine days for this school year.  In the first few weeks we are concentrating on getting our procedures down (how to wash hands before we get started, locate our laptop and then login and get to work!) and also getting to know one another.  Students are taking an on-line survey which will enable me to get to know them a little better and will also help me gauge their level of technical proficiency.  The second visit to class has the students            set to create an avatar, which is a graphical representation of their personal characteristics.  We will then launch ourselves into this year's curriculum which will include internet safety and research, hardware exploration, a study of the      Microsoft Office Suite of products, and so much more!!  I am so grateful that the school has added this very interesting and fun area of study!!</p>
