Our Mini MOVIE!!!
The following is a "mini movie" of our Project-Based Learning Class. It is a video recap, giving the general idea of what kinds of things we did during winter quarter.
In addition to learning about applications like PowerPoint, Excel and Word, the students collaborated on a few activities using "Cloud Computing." They learned a little about the potential of the Internet, which they used to practice typing, store documents and visit the class blog, located at:

Future Accountant!
Today we learned that Zina did well enough on her COMPASS test to get into the Accounting Program and that she also qualified for financial aid! (That's a super combination!)
Zina did accounting-related work in her home country, so we know she'll do well in that program! Go get 'em Zina! We know you're going to do great!
