8th+grade

=Welcome to 8th Grade in the Computer Lab!= //The theme for the first half of the year is Careers. You will do research on a career you think you might like. We will "write" a paper (for understanding formatting); create a cool "sign" in Photoshop; create your own background in Photoshop to use in PowerPoint (and create a PowerPoint document on your career). We have some new tools that we think you will really like, as well. I think you'll enjoy this year!//
