[[image:typingguy.gif align="right"]]WELCOME! Students to Mrs. Stanley's 7th Grade Encore Class Resource Page
Your Encore Class for computers will consist of three parts:


 * 1) Knowledge of computer basics
 * 2) Knowledge of safe practices in surfing the internet
 * 3) Learning the very basics of FLASH - a computer animation program

This is a lot of ground to cover in just 9 days, so I will ask the following from each of you:
 * 1) Come in and get seated right away and listen for directions.
 * 2) If directed, log in, and then turn attention to your teacher.
 * 3) Do not log in unless teacher tells you to.
 * 4) Bring a pencil or pen with you.
 * 5) **Get a folder especially for this class and store every handout that I give you in it.**
 * 6) **Put your name and homeroom on every handout.**
 * 7) Make sure to **complete any take-home assignments given**. Homework will be minimal, but if I ask you to do something, I expect you to take it seriously and have it with you on your next encore session.
 * 8) Please share what we discuss in the Internet safety packet with your parents on a regular basis. I will ask them to return a form acknowledging that your have discussed the topics with them before the end of the encore session.
 * 9) **Follow directions carefully. Do NOT try to shortcut.** You will have several practice exercises in Flash which will teach you the basics.
 * 10) **BE PATIENT!** Your time to be creative in creating your own Flash animation will come. [[image:http://cstanley.wiki.zoho.com/_zoho/images/smiley-smile.gif]]
