Students for Computer Science class may work on the following items while I am out:
1.      Any prior work due for class can be worked on:
a.      MLA Article Summary
b.      MLA Biography Project
c.       MLA Business Proposal
                                                              i.      Worksheet

                                                           iv.      Business Card (LogoGarden.com or MS Powerpoint)
                                                             v.      Product Flyer (MS Powerpoint)

2.      March Madness Brackets (CBS Sports Online) – Online bracket challenge for class.  Use the link online, create an account, then use the group code: “caatech13” to fill out a bracket for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.  We are using statistics for MS Excel after the break.

3.       www.codehs.com – Students should have created accounts online to learn to write computer code.  Instructions are on the blog.

4.      www.Udacity.com  – Students can create accounts online to take the “college level” Introduction to Computer Science class.  Credit will be given at the end of the year.

5.      www.Freelibrary.org  – Students can use information from a presentation yesterday to start, or work on, research for their 8th-Grade projects.  Students should use class time to find new resources, journal entries, and database searches.

6.      Finally, anyone in any Computer Science class can get extra credit by working on the Yearbook.  If they are caught up and want to help, just notify Ms. Cohen and use the time in class or club time to help start photography, layouts, and editing.  Good Luck!

When we return after the break you should be ready to learn about MS Excel, Investing, Payroll, Timecards, Family Monthly Budgets, Architectural Projects, Business Plans and many other exciting topics.  We only have 61 school days until the end of the year and you will need to pass all of your classes to move ahead in June!!  

See you all in April!!

Integrity (13 Characteristics)

13 Characteristics of People Who Have Integrity

1. They Value Other People's Time: They value their own time so they also value the time of other people. They know you have plenty of other places you need to be and won’t hold you up. If you spend time with them, it is likely they will thank you for that as well.

2. They Give Credit Where It Is Due: They do not take credit for things they did not do. They will always credit those who deserve it. If you help this person with a project he or she will likely mention your name so you can take credit for your work.

3. They Are Authentic: They are their truest forms. You won’t catch them in a lie or being fake.

4. They Are Always Honest: They are honest people that feel no need to lie as it is important for them to get to where they need to get in life honestly.

5. They Never Take Advantage Of Others: They are not the kind of people who will take advantage of someone else. They love to build people up and help them get where they need to be. Taking too much from someone else will never be an issue with someone who has a lot of integrity.

6. The Do Not Argue Over Disagreements: They will talk through things in a civil manner or not talk at all. You cannot and will not force this person into arguing over something completely ridiculous. I find this to be a very respectable trait.

7. They Give Most People The Benefit Of The Doubt: They try to see the good in everyone. I think this is because they feel like maybe there are more people in this world that also have integrity. That being said, if you take advantage of them too much they will get rid of you.

8. They Know When Something Is Bothering Someone: They have a great intuition that lets them know when something is going on. If someone is down in the dumps they will notice. Chances are they will actually do what they can to cheer you up.

9. They Believe In Others: They accept your word as truth until it is dis-proven. That being said, they do not take lying well. And once you lie to them, it is unlikely that they will ever take your word again.

10. They Apologize First: If they have done something wrong they will come to you and apologize. This is just how they are. They own up to their mistake and try to make things right.

11. They Are Humble: They do not quite know their own worth. While they are very important and do so much good they don’t quite see it. You should remind them of it.

12. They Do Good When They Can: They are always helping other people. They love to know that they have improved someone’s life. It gives their lives meaning.

13. They Are Always Kind To Those Who Need It: Giving kindness can go a long way. When someone looks like they need a little pick me up these people deliver. They can brighten up almost anyone’s day.

If you are someone who has true integrity, thank you for being who you are and thank you for all that you do. You really do actually make a difference in society, please keep up the good work. If you feel no one else is proud of you, know that I am.
