Brady Computer Class

Several tech’s classes from Brady High have gone to build a computer day. This year I was able to participate in maybe the most nerdy, however fun event I’ve ever been to. We really had a great time building our computer who we named “Mac”. I know that I learned a books worth of information about the different parts in a computer, and how these parts work together to make the computer. Many of you probably don’t even care as long as the internet works and you can write a word document but that’s ok. Not everyone can be as cool as us. Micah

We are continually trying to educate and protect our students. A friend sent me this link and I am sharing it with my students and making it availiable online for them to share with others. – Mrs. McKenney

The 2011-2012 year is already up and running smoothly however, the tireless work of Brady Tech’s class has played no small part in getting it there. Ok so maybe we haven’t done that much, and maybe there really isn’t a “we” at all but I guess no one really knows for sure. We, ok its just me, I really love working for Mrs. Mckenney (did I say working for? I meant.. nope it’s right) and helping out wherever I can. We started messing around with lots of new gadgets like the mini elmo’s and the smart pen, and all work beautifully. Most of the time I go out to do things that I don’t really know how to do at all, but along the way I really learn a lot. I feel like there has been a ton of networking lessons that have sneaked into every day’s schedule. Also I have been working a lot with the school’s WordPress’ and other websites which has been extremely beneficial.

WOW! The year has just flown by, I guess thats what you get when you are very busy. The TECHS class got alot accomplished this year from learning how computer parts work inside a computer at Build A Computer Day to helping our science class learn using the Ipods. Our Techs class was privalaged to be online learning about these as well as doing hands on things. To see all the wonderful things our class accomplished while on line just visit this site http://blog.studenttechs.org/brady/. Our class was honored by ESU 10 because of how outstanding our site was and how we all worked together.

This little box-like….thing, has been cropping up all over the place. Stores, coffee shops, shirts, but can anyone tell me just what this is? (Bonus points if someone can tell me what’s encoded in this particular one)

Our Techs class has been very busy, a lot has happened since Build A Computer Day. Since then we have put together a few Jing’s that are really helpful. Our Jing Page these jings have to do with the new Mac books, and how to customize many things on them to meet your needs. We will now be working toward building some Mosaics in TECHS, these will allow us to use hundreds of little pictures to create a big picture. Soon after these Mosaics are complete we will be using the Polycoms to go on virtual field trips any where in the world as long as the other end is participating. This allows us to go on a life like field trip at a fraction of the cost

The year has kicked off, and that means another great year of TECHS is upon us. We have new members, as well as returning. Stephanie Finnell, Ashley Frederickson, and Brodie Sullivan-Bock are among the returning, as well as new members Abby Hansen, Ryan Kleinow, and Justin Parker. We’re starting off the school year with the Polycom, a distance-learning device that we’re using to communicate with another TECHS team from Wood River, and learning from Mrs. Corliss Dixon of ESU 10 for three days a week. We’ll also be using our myElearning.org site as well. With all these learning devices, it’s like a triple class: An online class, a distance learning class, and a work experience. The TECHS team, like previous years, is working as workers for the school, under the supervision of Mrs. Robbi McKenney. And a busy year it’s going to be, as well. We’re going one-to-one (Which means every High School student gets a MacBook Laptop), and we will have our hands full running a help-desk for all the students.

The 2009-2010 TECHS students have been busy and even newspaper worthy twice this year already.  TECHS students have been busy assisting with the new student email system, new elementary mobile lab, presenting to the school board, assisting with afterschool teacher technology training, and learning about iPod technology.  We are currently building a Wii Infared Pen and will be receiving 5 iPod Touch in January.  The TECHS iPod Touch will be used for TECHS projects this Spring.   Also in January, we will be attending the “Build a Computer Day” at the ESU10 in Kearney.  TECHS students always look forward to this trip and experience.
