SPORTS MARKETING - PERIOD 8
Students who still owe me the Stadium proposal, must send it to me via e-mail immediately. If incomplete, it is still overdue and is losing points as you ponder whether to finish it or not.
The one page bio of Sebastian Telfair, should have been prepared today, with photo and sent to ProfessorKLK@aol.com as an attachment, via e-mail. We will be watching a segment of "Through the Fire" about his life this week.
Optional, and encouraged: If you wanted to get extra credit you could also interpret the following quote as it relates to your own high school career or ambitions: "The secret of success in a man's life is to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." -- Benjamin Disraeli, former Brittish Prime Minister.
Make sure you include the "number" of the computer where you are sitting, along with your full name on each assignment sent via e-mail to me. In your subject line, you should include mention of what you are sending, such as :S. Telfair Bio from Samantha N."

Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Tuesday, March 18, 2008Ms. Kirshner's MOS class, Periods 6 & 7AIM: Students will continue to revisit and use MS Excel to prepare K-W-L charts and will insert information about what they know, want to know and have already learned into the chart.DO NOW: "The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." Type the quote of former Brittish Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli's and interpret what he meant, in terms of your own career at MBHS and in your anticipated future.LP: (over two -three days)Yesterday, Monday, we returned to the Excel environment of worksheets/spreadsheets and we opened up the "big green X" icon and we started a page that became the beginning of our KWL charts. I provided a printed KWL chart which was used as a model. Students were instructed to go to the top dividing line of each column to widen it and to go to the rows horizontally divided with a line and to move it or insert a row, using the Insert menu option. We explored the environment of the spreadsheet once again in doing this assignment.Today (Tuesday) we will continue to complete the setup of the KWL chart and then students will begin entering information about what they know about Excel into the chart's columns with text.Note, this approach to chart-making is only one method. There are others as well. We will also create charts related to data in our Excel spreadsheets in the near future.Note: If you have a communication to make to Ms. Kirshner via email, use the ProfessorKLK@aol.com address. Thank you!

LP:

Period 8 Sports Marketing
Monday, March 17, 2008
Ms. Kirshner, MBA, MS
Sports Marketing
AIM: Read and discuss chapter 4 topics. Students copy and define new promotional terms.
DO NOW: Students are to finish reading and write a summary of stadium article distributed on Friday. Students were required to write a one-two paragraph summary of the article, and only one student attempted it. That is not acceptable. You must read the article, underline key points and write a one to two paragraph summary and be prepared to discuss it.
The Stadium Proposal Project was due on Friday. It is now late. Each day late it loses ten points on the first day, and then that doubles to 20 points on the second day late and remains at 20 points off the grade it can receive each additional day. You cannot pass the class without the group stadium proposal project and it is the bulk of your graded work for this marking period. Conduct and participation and any classwork and homework also counts, but that is the major project. Where is it? Please don't fail due to poor planning.
LP: On Friday students were required to read chapter 4 and copy all highlighted terms and define them for a future review and test. Make sure you have completed this assignment.
Homework: Look up: "Sebastian Telfair" using google and prepare a one page bio about him. Use your own words and print it out and bring it to class tomorrow.
Please note: We will be viewing a film about his rise and the endorsements he received.
Other concerns:
Please make sure that you do not enter the classroom prior to the teacher's arrival. Students are never permitted to be alone in a classroom. I never open the door, allowing students in, and then leave the room. If someone does this, please let me know who opened the door and tell that person, you are not permitted in the room, until the teacher arrives. I have not ever left a student alone in a classroom that I opened, and no one is allowed to do so. If someone opens the door, and it isn't me, do not go inside. Wait outside the door until I arrive.
Unfortunately I must make sure the computer lab is fully shut down and cleaned up and locked up and all students have left the room without pulling the plug on their computers, prior to being able to leave the lab, which is in a cave in 410A. That is the reason I have difficulty getting to 403 on time. It is not a standard computer lab and invariably a student refuses to follow direction and will not log out when told to do so, and I cannot leave the student(s) alone in the lab and lock up.

Periods 6 & 7 MOS/ Computer Applications

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Ms. Kirshner, MBA, MS
MOS Periods 6 and 7
AIM: Return to Microsoft Excel today and review its components, similarities to MS Word menus and commands. Then determine where we left off.
DO NOW: Take a look in your class folder for this class. Did you save the "spreadsheets" that you created with Excel earlier in the marking period? What did you learn? What would you like to learn? Do you remember how to use the formulas? Do you think you will need to use charts in reports for school? In what ways do you want to use charts and formulas?
Think about all the uses of the automated spreadsheets, formula calculations, inventories, charts, spreadsheets, and your role as a business, math, economics, or accounting and finance major. Type your response, using MS Word.
LP / Classwork:
We will recap, discuss where we left off, what we need to know and want to learn, and class folders will be viewed for Excel files. Students will complete a K-W-L chart, and then recreate it, using Excel and cut an paste their text into the chart and save the work.
After Excel, we start PowerPoint, another Microsoft program.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
First Place winners of the Travel and New Product Advertisement Contest.
THE TOP WINNERS IN EACH CLASS:
Period 6 -
ROSALIA - Won for both ads! Travel to Disney, and Robot technology invention biz ads
Period 7 -
VAL for the spectacular professional Travel ad and STEFAN for the brilliant professional Business Ad.
The winners received award certificates and a gift card to go to the movies.
There were many great ads! It was not easy to make the final selections.
Other students who did excellent work received and will continue to receive certificates noting their work and chocolates or other rewards.
CLASSWORK: We created spreadsheets and inventories, and basic operations, including inserting formulas, but we didn't do charts yet, so we will certainly get to it. We will use the Excel packets, and if we run short, we can use the spiral bound books. Please be very careful with them, as they are fragile and pages fall out easily. Please treat the books with respect.
Pages to be determined after discussion.
