1. COMPUTER SKILLS INVENTORY - (100 points)
This is about documenting your Information Technology (IT) Skills Set. It maps in a table format your progress in learning essential Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Skills. The skills set is rapidly expanding and will be updated to include skills tested in the Microsoft Office Users Specialist Certification [MOUS] Exam, Network Essentials, and FrontPage 2000. It is on-going as in Lifelong Learning, and Continuous Improvement. What is key here is that you use this list as an honest assessment of what you have learned, and a goal for the skills that you have to acquire. 100 Points is awarded for honesty in filling out, and maintaining the list. (If you can think of topics to be added the list, pls email them to me for extra credit.) I have started working with my Computer Skills Inventory List.

2. 701-FONTS (100 Points) I have this assignment completed, printed out, and in my Notebook!
Keep this Simple. In Word, select a font style and size, and type its name for 10 fonts. [You can expand on this by adding color, and / or delving into WORDART for extra credit.

5. Don't Worry, Mr. A, I get what we are trying to do!
If you do not, write me or the highly-regarded Cyber T.A.s on the email form below.

Print out this Form, stash in Notebook.

This form tells me how many assignments you have done. It is a 'benchmark", a milepost, a status indicator of your progress thru Group #2. Don't check off an assignment until it is done, printed and in your viewbinder and is of the same or better quality than the demo assignments. The answers that you give must be verifiable and backed up by your work in the notebook, and based on "Work Actually Completed." This screen is to be submitted at the end of Week 2 or whenever you update the status of a Group 2 assignment. Please use it to tell me what your progress is.
