INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: FUNDAMENTALS

Mrs. Gribble
Introduction:
IT: Fundamentals is a semester class intended on introducing students to the hardware and software
of a computer. Students will learn the different components that make up a computer system and Microsoft
Office 201y. This course is for 8th grade and is a prerequisite for all Business and Digital Media courses
offered at Armorel High School.
Rules and Guidelines:
1. Be in your seat and prepared for class before the tardy bell rings
2. Bring all required materials to class everyday.
3. Take care of personal business before coming into the classroom.
4. If students need extra help or time to complete assignments, they need to make arrangements
with me.
5. Internet access is available in the classroom. It is to be used for school purposes only, not for
games or email. If rules are broken, the result is for students being banned from the Internet for
the remaining time in the classroom.
6. No Food or Drink allowed in Lab at any times
Required Materials:
1. 1 inch Binder
2. E-School Account and Internet Access
3. Students are required to keep a notebook with all notes, labs, quizzes, tests, and other materials.
It will be checked at the end of each nine weeks for a 100pt grade. The notebook is an excellent
study guide for nine weeks and semester tests.
4. Students will be required to complete a various amount of computer projects in the classroom.
There will be plenty of time to complete these assignments in the classroom if time is used
wisely.
