Tech Prompt

The link to the tech prompt is located on each period’s wiki (not wiki roster). Here is a link you can use to access the “how to” write a five-paragraph essay.
Remember:
1. You can work in your blog, then Save your work if you are not finished with your essay.
2. When you want to find your saved essay, log in to your blog, and on your dashboard, select Manage, then Posts, and then click Edit on your saved essay.
3. You CANNOT double space on a blog, and you CANNOT indent. You MUST put a SPACE BETWEEN YOUR PARAGRAPHS (so the reader knows where each new paragraph begins). You put a space between your paragraphs by hitting the Return key once.
4. Please do not put three supports in your thesis; your thesis is about ONE idea.
CORRECT: By far, the most important technological development to benefit society is the wheel.
Incorrect: By far, the most important technological development to benefit society is the wheel because of easier transportation, construction, and future developments from the wheel.
5. At the end of paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, your last sentence needs to summarize the paragraph you are leaving AND transition to the next paragraph.
Example: Although the wheel improved transportation, it also made construction of buildings or monuments easier as well.
6. Your last paragraph CANNOT summarize your essay. You need to cover new ground in the last paragraph, so you need to think about (for this essay) the benefits we enjoy today and what we might anticipate for the future.
7. In order to embed a video, you need the code for the video and YOU MUST WORK IN HTML for the code to work.

Speaking of the future of technology, take a look at these 2 YouTube videos. You won’t believe your eyes. Thanks to Noah Sanders for bringing these videos to us. What the technology does is integrate touch screen capabilities of a computer with a BlueTooth connection. Lending new meaning to awesome, Microsoft Surface has been available since November, but only for restaurants and casinos right now.
