Assignments: Computer Maintenance
I reserve the right to modify and change any day's lesson plan as needed to ensure the objectives are being met. This could mean that the lessons will proceed slower some days and faster others.
All students are to be responsible for making up any missed assignments, whether absence is excused or not. Knowledge of how to use computer is like building a house. You need the foundation before you start on the walls or roof! The student is responsible for checking this website for assignments as well as looking on Schoology. All missed work is counted as zero (0) until completed and graded.

Getting Ready for Groups
* Log into Schoology for detailed information
Upon completing the above assignment, do the following:
* Your first project working together in your new group is to create/decide on a group name.
* Second, each group member will locate (CreativeCommons.org) or create a school/business appropriate sign (Word, Paint, etc.) to represent your group. It should include your class period in the lower right corner.
Selecting & Documenting Group's System Unit
As a group:
• Select a system unit from the available selection on the carts (working system units)
• Place one of your group's printed logo's on the top of your system unit for easy identification
• Using a camera (provided by instructor), take pictures of all identifying tags & labels on the system unit
• Using the camera, take pictures of the external connections on the back (and front, if it applies) of your groups computer
• Whichever group member is the most comfortable uploading pictures will show all other group members how to upload pictures
• Upload identifying pictures to the directory with your group name on the Hill-P1 drive on the Business Server. Note that not all computers seem to connect to this drive.
As soon as your group has completed one of the Lab Unit 1 assignments, move to the next one.
