Block Day Thursday 1/15

Good Morning and Happy Thursday!  Today we are going to work on making some serious progress on our PowerPoint City Project.  Before doing so, I want to take a second to start thinking about our trip to Univision.  Visit the Univision website at http://www.univision.com/.  While we will be going there to learn about the various types of technology they use, we will also be going to learn about the various careers available to you when you get out of high school.  Please respond to the following questions as we prepare for the trip:

1. List some skills you have.  Both hard and soft skills.  Note hard skills are teachable abilities like you would find on a resume while soft skills are your "people" skills or more interpersonal skills.
2. Describe what Univision does?  Every company has to produce a good or service.  What does Univision produce or what service do they provide?
3. Describe as many career positions as you can think of that might be available at Univision.  After coming up with a list of your own, click HERE to see a few current job postings. How did your list match up?  Would this ever be a place you might consider working?  Why or why not?

Thanks for your response.  After responding to the blog please work on the following tasks today:

1. Respond to the blog
2. Complete Edutyping lesson 20.1
3. Ensure you have submitted your G# at http://goo.gl/ulno31- see our previous blog if you need the web address for the application still!
4. Go to Lynda.com and watch two short clips in the PowerPoint 2007 Essential Training Series. They are under section 4 and are entitles Using Background Styles and Using Color Schemes.  As you watch the video feel free to either have the sample ppt open used in the video or have your city powerpoint presentation open to make actual adjustments.  Remember, you can always pause the video to play with and pick your backgrounds, color schemes, etc.
5. Continue working on your City PowerPoint (instructions in Schoology)
6. Consider applying for the 2015 Facebook Summer Academy Program. You can learn more by checking out http://facebooksummeracademy.com
