Welcome to Miss Cait's Computer Class at QCSS. Come here for resources and materials.
Weeks 1-4
We have covered computer basics such as labeling computer parts, a brief background into computer history and we started learning how to convert binary numbers to decimal and vice versa. We also touched on MLA citations and credible research sites. Below you can find links to learn and helpful websites. Next week we begin our first project which is a Microsoft Word/Google Doc research project. They will research a topic of their choosing, and need to type a 2-page report using specific formatting and citation standards. That rubric is attached below. There is also an extra credit opportunity for the first report card session or just extra practice.
