Welcome to the Year 8 Computing Site

Purpose of this Site

I will ask you to refer to this page in class in order to give you information such as links and materials that will be dealt with in class. When the time comes, it will also serve as a useful tool for revision. The other important points worth making is that you can communicate with eachother via the comments. An example of naming convention used for the posts is as follows: S2W1 = Semester 2 Week.

Course Outline

I hope you are looking forward to 2011 and Semester 2. For those of you that are unaware or have forgotten, the basic weekly structure for this course is as follows:

Mondays Period 5 - Computing Theory

Wednesdays Periods 3 & 4 - Microsoft Office

Fridays Periods 7 & 8 - Multimedia

Homework will usually only be given to those who are unable to complete class work to an appropriate standard within the given time. Nonetheless, always bring your diary and appropriate writing implement to class.

If you have any questions about the course or need help with a computing problem, please see me during lunch on Wednesdays when the computer lab is generally open to students.

Here's to a successful Semester and 2011!
