Independent Lesson:

The last 15 minutes students will work on rough drafts for IPOS project

IPOS projectWe are going to create an invention choosing an input, processing, storage, and output device and then once you have your rough draft you will create a voki to advertise your invention. Watch sample: http://www.voki.com/pickup.php?scid=6904092&height=267&width=200

You MUST type or write on a piece of paper the following information BEFORE you will be allowed to create a voki. If you type you need to save to your lunch room number.

1. Your Name and Period
2. You invention
(3 to 6 may be in any order)
3. What the input is for your invention?
4. What the processing is for your invention? (hint, cpu, microchip, OS X- for apple, etc)
5. What the storage is for your invention?
6. What the output is for your invention?
7.  4 to 5 sentences using all of the above information.

We are using Edmodo so students can embed their vokis to my class Edmodo.
While they recommend having an email you can click no thanks and it will give you a link for your voki. Of course if you don't have an email once you get the link you will not be able to edit your voki.

Exit Activity:
Students will sign up for the Computer Skills and Applications Edmodo page.
