During the first few days, we go over procedures, readying our laptops and our minds for a safe, fun building environment:
Laptop Check '23-'24 (14 pts)
How to Adobe Illustrator for a lasercutter (This is MY basic video how-to for a scribble. You will use these skills to make much more advanced lasercuts after you make a BETTER how-to, for sharing with Mr. B on Google Drive and this website, Screen-Cast-O-Matic (now ScreenPal).
Students need to Bookmark these sites in a "Barber Folder" on their toolbar. (Here's how):
Google Drive (You will have to log in with your full k12albemarle email and password)
TinkerCad (No need to log-in yet ... we will log in as a class)
maker:bit / Microsoft Make Code (No need to log-in yet ... we will log in as a class)
Delicious Cheese (students have to find this in Schoology and break it out of Schoology before bookmarking!)
Daily Slideshow (students have to find this in Schoology and break it out of Schoology before bookmarking!)
Your charger has 2 pieces and therefore needs 2 labels, one on each part, (your first and last name!)
You also need shortcuts on your taskbar to the 2 apps we download:
Arduino IDE- We download this from Microsoft Store (quick download)
Adobe Illustrator- First Mr. Lampert helps us get Adobe Creative Cloud, THEN we download and install Adobe Illustrator from CC.
Come show Mr. Barber when you're pretty sure you're going to get a good grade (not when you've done only a little of the Laptop Check ... I don't want to enter in a 4/14 F!!)
