Tech skill area: Deeper exploration of tech tools and skills For advanced students who are finished with work early, I am offering an opportunity to specialize in an area of tech skill that you are interested in. Choose from one of the challenges below. Set your own learning goals. Work through then set more goals or move to a different area of interest. This work is in addition to classwork. IT is meant to be fun not drudgery or a punishmnet for being smart. When you are done wiht classswork, flip over to your special challenge project. When you are complete with a goal, have me check it off. As you find tutorials that are good for different tools, share them with me and I'll add them to this page. Have fun and learn a lot!
