On the last day of the school week, you must have researched, read, and summarized a technology related article to be presented in class. The summary must be typed up and put in your own words. Do not read the article verbatim. Use websites such as: news.com, cnn.com, businessweek.com, etc and visit the technology areas of those sites. Find an article that interests you, read it, and then post a brief summary of it on your blog. You must include a hyperlink to the article on your posting. The subject of the post will be: (‘Date Due’ Weekly Tech Article). You will then present this article to the class that week.
The articles can be new products, reviews, and other various technologies. Remember, technology is a very broad term and is not just computers. These articles will introduce you to new websites, terminology, and products that you may not be familiar with.
This assignment will count towards your Class Participation/Homework grade. If you are absent on the last day of the week, you are exempt from that week’s article. If you are absent the day before the last day of the week, you are required complete the assignment.
You will not be allowed to read from a website. You must display your blog and read from there. Completing these assignments will boost your average. Failure to complete them will result in a 50% for that week. I will call on students to present their articles one by one. A class/blog discussion on articles is strongly encouraged.
