=Career Exploration - Fall 2012 - Quarter 1 & Quarter 2= =Mr. Bujak=

In an effort to be totally transparent and to support students 24/7/365.25, this volunteer-maintained and optional area is meant to be a collection of resources during the Fall 2012 semester "Career Exploration" 0.25 credit course at Hope Charter High School. Applicable resources are also posted with each assessment in Power School Gradebook.

 * NOTE on SLIDE PRESENTATION SOFTWARE**

Try to use slide applications that are available to you regardless of computer, regardless of computer platform;, regardless of your location. Microsoft PowerPoint may be the de-facto standard, but most school computers (and maybe home computers) do not have PowerPoint. I suggest Google Drive which includes Google Docs, a set of applications (Presentation for slides, Document for word processing, Spreadsheet for spreadsheets. Form for forms, Drawing for drawings) that is entirely browser-based --> you do not need to install anything.

Simply use any Web browser and go to @https://drive.google.com and all your docs (slides, spreadsheets, word documents, etc.) will be there, in the cloud ... always available for you ... no need to save on a USB drive or email your file to yourself.

Of course you need to get a Google gmail account. Sign up for one ASAP.

You can get a link to any of your documents, such as this class set of slides, and share it (for read only) to ebujak@hopecschool.org This way you are not emailing people your actual file, filing up their email box, but instead only sending them a simple link to the shared document. You also control access to you r documents (words, slides, spreadsheets).



Get an email address, preferably Google (user@gmail.com), and email me a simple intro email to ebujak@hopecschool.org
