Part I - Navigating the Internet and Evaluating Web Sources

(email me your answers as "Part I")
 

Go to YAHOO and open your email account.  Start a new email to me, hilaryf8@hotmail.com, labelled "Final Part I."

 

Open a 2nd Netscape Navigator window. To do this, simply click on the "File" menu, then select "New" and "Navigator Window."  Now you've got two Netscape Windows running, one for searching and one for composing your email to me.

 

Use a SEARCH ENGINE (Infoseek, Google, Yahoo, etc.) to find the answers to the following questions.  Bounce back to your other Netscape Window to type your answers into your email to me.  For each answer, cite the URL at which you found the answer.

1. On what date was Shakespeare born?
2. Who was the 25th President of the United States?
3. Who invented Silly Putty?

Part III - Powerpoint Presentation

(create this in Powerpoint  and save a COPY of it to server folder F:/Share/Ford/PPT2)

Your assignment is to create a slideshow advertisement for CAPPCOMM.  Your audience will be incoming SBHS freshmen.  The topics you will need to cover are:

*What is CAPPCOMM?
*How is it different from other classes?
*What (specific skills) will you learn here?
*How will it help you in your other classes?

Your choices regarding background, text, graphics, and animation are open.  All of those items must be present, however.

Your presentation must have an introduction slide with a title and your name, as well as a closing slide with a thank you and "credits."

Be sure to save often and re-save when you are finished.
