//end note: We did not get through the entire lesson today, but will continue next week. Students are still getting used to their email - the format is 2015_a.smith@stdominicschool.net.// = = =Topic=


 * Welcome to the Wiki
 * Welcome to the Learning Express Library

=Activity=

Wiki

Today 5th grade will learn about the class wiki, how it helps us to communicate, and how it will serve as a resource for them both in and out of class. We will:
 * Observe as I demonstrate the key features of the wiki on the Smartboard
 * Access their email to accept their invitation to the wiki
 * Spend a few minutes discovering the wiki for themselves

Publisher
 * I will demonstrate how to set up an account on the Learning Express Library through Infohio by showing the Learning Express Library Account Setup screencast. Please fee free to look at it at home as well.
 * Students will use the screencast as a resource to setup their own account and add Microsoft Publisher 2007 as a course in their account.
 * They will watch the first part of a video lesson on how to use Publisher ... for some reason students tend to find an online tutorial more interesting than me :-).

=Assessment=

Students will be assessed on participation, Learning Express Library account setup, and adding Publisher to their list of courses.
 * //I anticipate this may take two sessions.... I'm hopeful we can do it in one, but have next week pegged for finishing up - this is a lot for 5th grade to do in one class!//**
