You can embed your ppt much the same way you embed a video. But first, you need a ppt host. Try one of these:

SlideShare - www.slideshare.com
Scribd - www.scribd.com
Zoho Show - http://show.zoho.com/jsp/zoho_login.jsp?serviceurl=%2FHome.do

November 12


Year 10 - It is important to stay on task so we can finish on time.

There is too much noise during class time and we need to take steps to rectify that. I am a firm believer in collaboration and don't think that one should have to sit for 40 minutes without uttering a word. However, I hear people singing in class (this is not music class) and constantly off-task by visiting social networking sites, YouTube, and games. Even though you are in the computer room, it is indeed a "proper" classroom. You are old enough to self-monitor but are not doing that. Please take the necessary measures to correct this situation. The school's system for behavioral problems such as notes in diaries, the time-out table system, and emails to your tutor will be enforced.

hand in your Plan today - Wed Nov 12

Please begin Criterion D - Create. It is in this stage of the Design Cycle that it is imperative that you use your process journal/blog. You must document the creating of your product. If you don't like the blog format, I will provide you with a paper notebook.

You can use Print Screen (Prt Sc) and paste that into Paint (or PowerPoint or Publisher) and when you save it click on File, Save As and save it as a JPEG file.
