ABC Me
Students learn how to write their name in a text box while using the Shift Key to make an uppercase letter.  They also use PhotoBooth to take a picture of themselves and learn about basic drag and drop functioning to move and rename the image.  All classes use Pixie 2 or Pixie 3 and learn about common publishing tools like imbedded web cams, paint tools, stickers, and "text to speech." A few classes may write their names and the ABC's with Microsoft Word.  An interactive PowerPoint will be created as a final project and students will learn how to use the PowerPoint presentation tools as they view their final projects independently.

Vocab:  text, text box, text to speech, shift (for uppercase) key, delete, undo, applications, Pixie, MS Word, return (enter) key
