Business Ed In Homeroom

Hi I'm Shunthenia, I am in Ms. Jackson's Business Education homeroom at Fort Middle School. In homeroom we discuss how to function in society by using good money management. We also talk about how our society works and is set up. This class teaches something that no other class will teach you. The idea of a Business Education class is brilliant. The class helps our generation learn what all the ones before us didn't. Now all people that have the priveledge to take this class will be prepared for their future.

This is my Flow Map on What We Do with Money

Since we have been discussing money, Ms. Jackson has made us aware of what people do with their everyday lives and money. Many people get up every morning, go to work, come home, watch televison, eat dinner, go to bed, to get up and do the same thing the next do. We don't think about what it is we want to do, if we do, we don't think we can achieve those things. Ms. Jackson asked us to think outside the box. No matter how crazy it is, whatever we wanted to do we had to put it in our thinking map. Below is my Bubble Map of some of the things I would like to do when I grow up.

we learned our homerow keys (ASDF JKL;) a little about typing it's challenging, but fun to learn
we also played FreeRice.com, this is a site that donates grains of rice to needy countries

So you should sign up for Business and Computer Science.

Insider's message it's true, this class is fun, but challenging.

2010-2011 School Term

Good morning,

This starts another school year at a different school (Fort Middle). I am still in the same county. This year there will be many things going on within my classroom. Since I have changed schools, I have realized that that are so many other things that can be done within my classroom.

During this term, I will try to have an example of students work and/or have a student post at least once a week.

I am excited about the new year, the new school, the new students, and my new co-workers!

When my classroom is in order I will post a picture!

Students Preparing to Do their Do Now

I anticipate having a wonderful year. Teaching the students how to type and use the programs to their benefit. First I must ensure that all students are able to type correctly, using the right fingers for the right keys. Next, we will go into depth with the standards. As the year progresses, students will post what they have learned and maybe show an example of their work.

This is a new year at a new school and things will be successful!

Internet Safety Brochure

Internet Safety for Teens

Hi, My name is Myoshi Turner and I am in the 6th grade. Currently, I am learning how to create a brochure. The brochure we are creating is on Internet Safety. There are four specific things that we are discussing pertaining to Internet Safety. They are Cyberbullying, Sexting, Internet Safety, and Cell Phone Tips.


1. Cyberbulling is bullying which is carried out through an internet service such as email, chat room, discussion group or instant messaging. It can also include bullying through mobile phone technologies such as short message services ringing about Cyberbulling.

2. Sexting is sending obscence pictures of yourself via the Internet or cell phone.

3. Internet Safety: making sure you do not give out personal information via the Internet, email, chat rooms, discussion groups or via instant messaging.

4. Cell Phone Tips: Not sending nasty or vulgar text messages, do not give out personal information using your cell phone.

Ms. Jackson uses the Smartboard to show us videos pertaining to Cyberbullying. We have also played games to support Internet Safety on the Smartboard.

These are a few things that we are learning in my keyboarding class. Another thing, I am also learning how to type using the correct fingers for the correct keys.

Below are some sites that Ms. Jackson has shown us pertaining to Internet Safety.
