It's Shark Week!

It's hard not to get excited about Shark Week on Discovery... Sharks are such interesting sea animals. They have more senses than us weak humans and it really is a good thing that they do not actively hunt or want to eat humans! Just be aware that a lot of the programming these days is in a mock-umentary style and may not be presenting facts!

My best friend has been featured on "Great White Highway" that is sometimes shown during Shark Week. EEEK! If you see her she's that red pony tail right in the center. Mel has been studying elephant seals, a favorite prey item on the great white shark.

At Shark Week's Website you can "Shark Yourself," and although the controls are a bit strange, the results are more than amusing. Check it out here.

This is a cool interactive http://dsc.discovery.com/sharks/shark-anatomy.html

Computer Lab Etiquette

You are in the computer lab to do work for this class. If you are not doing work, then we will have problems.

Do not pack up early. Work until the bell or until MsJ says.

SAVE OFTEN. And if you save to a key, also save it to your number. If you lose it, you will have to do it again.

If MsJ asks for your attention, stop what you are doing and listen to what she has to say.

You may watch videos about your organism through reliable websites.

You may listen to music through the computer if you have your own headphones. Rule1 MsJ cannot hear it. You get one warning. Rule2 Turn it on and listen – no million clicks and constant changing. Take both ear phones out when MsJ is talking.
