6 TIP: Your school may want to investigate using an Internet filter to avoid unwanted content. Student Registration Student registration is an easy task. Technology Training Administrators (TTAs) are able to complete student registration within a matter of minutes by following the directions below. The TTA will receive an from a Customer Service Representative providing an Access Key for each student. These Access Keys have been set up to give the student access to the subject for which they have purchased a subscription. The two currently available subjects are Introduction to Technology Training and Digital Art and Graphic Design. A separate will provide a username and password for the Administrator Site. To register new students, go to Please note: This link is case sensitive. After entering the enrollment address in the Web browser, the student enrollment page will be displayed. Enter the Access Key and click Send. The next page will ask the TTA to complete the Student Enrollment process by entering the student s name and registration information. All fields marked with * are required fields. These spaces must be filled out to continue the registration process. The TTA must create a unique username and password for the student that will be easy for the student to remember. The username must be at least 4 and no more than 16 characters long without spaces. Do not use special characters. The TTA may use both letters and numbers when creating the username. Record the username for future reference. If the TTA is prompted to create a different username, the desired username may already be in use for another student. The TTA must then choose a different username for the student. The program will not allow the same username to be used twice. The TTA must also assign the student a password. The password should also be easy for the student to remember. The TTA should keep a running list of all passwords in use. This list should not be accessible to the students. Only the TTA should have access to this list. Passwords should be kept confidential to avoid student access to other students files. In the event a student does not remember his password, the TTA may check the list and remind the student of his password. TIP: Try using a student s name or a variation of the student s name as the username. For example, a username could be a first initial and last name. If you wanted to create a username for Jon Smith, it might be jsmith. 4

7 The online student enrollment form requires the student to have an address. This must be unique for each student. The TTA may want to use a student s personal address or create one for the student to use only at school. This is up to the discretion of the TTA. In the event a student forgets his password and his TTA is not available, he may be prompted to enter his address. The password will then be sent to that address. Logging In - Student Site Vs. Administrator Site Student Site: To login to aceconnect Technology Training, the student should go to aceministries.com/aceconnect, click TECHNOLOGY TRAINING and click Student Login. The student can login on that page using the username and password that the TTA created. The aceconnect Technology Training Student Site offers instruction in two subjects. They are Introduction to Technology Training and Digital Art and Graphic Design. The licenses for these courses are separate from each other. After the student has logged in, he can access the subject for which he has a subscription. Each course is easy to use with text and illustrations that flow logically. New concepts are taught using relevant and frequent examples. Opportunities for measuring performance through assessments, quizzes, and simulations are provided. Content is delivered using various methods, meeting a variety of learning styles. Administrator Site: The Technology Training Administrator Site allows you, the Technology Training Administrator (TTA), to track student progress. You will have access to track your specific school s students and to generate reports based on those students. TTAs can go to log on to the Administrator Site. Usernames and passwords will be given to the TTA by an A.C.E. Customer Service Representative upon confirmation of an online subscription. TTAs will also receive an Administrator Login Letter via with this information. Once a TTA has logged onto the Administrator Site, he will have access to his group. The TTA will see two menus on the top of the Administrator Site home page named Users and Reports. Through the Users menu, the TTA will be able to edit user information and view all members in his group. Through the Reports menu, the TTA will be able to access and analyze student files. This will be explained in detail in the Administrative Tasks section of this manual. 5

8 TTAs will also see four links in the upper right section of the page. Although not all of these links are applicable to him, some will provide useful information for the TTA. Account Info allows the TTA to view and edit TTA information. Home returns the TTA to the opening page of the Administrator Site. Help provides detailed explanations of the TTA site functions. Please Technical Support at or call if further help is needed. My Messages does not apply to TTAs. This link will appear on the screen but is not applicable. 6

9 Student Procedures Credit Requirements Introduction to Technology Training Introduction to Technology Training requires students to complete one Operating System, one Web Browser, and one entire Microsoft Office Suite. All the Introduction to Technology Training material is organized into three categories. The three categories are Operating Systems, Web Browsers, and Office Suites. There is much more material available to the student than is required. To receive a computer science credit in Introduction to Technology Training, a student would need to complete just one section from each of the three categories. Introduction to Technology Training Course Listings: Available Operating Systems Available Web Browsers Available Office Suites Windows 7 Internet Explorer 8 Microsoft Office 2010 Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7 Microsoft Office 2007 Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0 Microsoft Office 2003 Windows 2000 Mozilla Firefox Microsoft Office XP/2002 Macintosh OS X, 9.0 Office 2001 for Macintosh Students are required to complete one application from each of the three columns above. One computer science credit is required for graduation. With the importance technology plays in today s education and industry, schools must provide graduates with the expertise to handle and use technology. Therefore, every student completing an Honors, College Preparatory, or General Course of Study is required to complete one computer science credit. Introduction to Technology Training supplies that credit. Digital Art and Graphic Design Unlike Introduction to Technology Training that has a wide variety of material to choose from, Digital Art and Graphic Design just has one track of material for the student to complete. This entire track is required. The Digtal Art and Graphic Design course is ideal for students who are interested in the growing world of designing for web and print publications. This course can be used as an alternative computer science credit or an elective high school credit. Some of the applications that are covered in Digital Art and Graphic Design are: Adobe Acrobat Adobe Flash Adobe InDesign Adobe Contribute Adobe Photoshop Adobe FrameMaker Adobe Illustrator Adobe Premiere Adobe Dreamweaver 7

10 Locating Courses in Technology Training Once the student has logged onto the aceconnect Technology Training page ( he will see the Welcome page. The two available subjects are Introduction to Technology Training and Digital Art and Graphic Design. The student should click the button for the subject to which he has access. Introduction to Technology Training On the Introdution to Technology Training page, there is a list of buttons on the right for the student to choose. Three of these buttons are named Operating Systems, Web Browsers, and Office Suites. In addition to these three categories, there are five prearranged tracks listed. These tracks have been arranged to fulfill the course requirements. Each track has an Operating System, a Web Browser, and an Office Suite already prearranged. After talking with the student, the Technology Training Administrator and supervisor should determine if the student should take one of the prearranged tracks or customize his training by choosing one Operating System, Web Browser, and Office Suite to complete. A.C.E. recommends using the most recent version of Microsoft Office. Students may be at a disadvantage learning older versions. Technology changes so rapidly that newer versions of Office programs may be available by the time the student graduates. By using the most recent version of Microsoft Office, students will be as up to date as possible upon graduation. Supplemental and Additional Courses A selection of supplemental and additional courses are available through Introduction to Technology Training. To access these tracks, the student should click on Supplemental Tech Tracks (see Appendix for optional course listings.) These additional courses should not be substituted for required courses. NOTE: Students may access all courses available to them through the program, including courses that do not pertain to their Tech Tracks. It is possible that a student can complete an assessment for another course and have that course display as completed on reports because of their assessment performance. Digital Art and Graphic Design The Digital Art and Graphic Design button will take the student to the list of Self-Paced Courses that are needed to complete this subject. The entire list is required for credit. This subject can be used as an alternative computer science credit or an elective high school credit. 8

11 Order and Sequence Whether students are taking Introduction to Technology Training or Digital Art and Graphic Design, the material they will be working on is divided into Self-Paced Courses. The order they work through their material is of utmost importance. Students should proceed sequentially through the Self-Paced Courses in each application. They should also proceed in order through topics in each Self-Paced Course. Each topic builds on the previous topic. Each lesson builds on the previous lesson. Therefore, it is very important for students to complete their courses in order. Example: If a student is taking Microsoft Office 2007 and is working on the Microsoft PowerPoint application, he will take the Self-Paced Courses in this order: 1. Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007: New Features 2. Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007: Level 1 (Second Edition) 3. Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007: Level 2 (Second Edition) Self-Paced Course Features Each course contains: Course Description page The Course Description page gives a brief overview of everything covered in that particular course. It lists learning objectives as well as hardware and software requirements necessary for that course. Students should read this page before beginning the course. They can either access the course topics from the Begin Course or Resume Course link or simply click the Course Topics tab on this page. Course Topics page Each course is divided into lessons. Each lesson is divided into topics. The shaded rows are lessons. The topics are listed underneath the lessons. The student accesses the course topics from either the progress icons to the left of the course topics or from the Course Topics title link. Remember: The student should access each topic in order. 9

12 The student should become familiar with the following progress icons on the Course Topics page. Begin Topic - Allows the student to begin a new topic. Resume Topic - Allows the student to resume a topic where he has stopped. Review Topic - Allows the student to review a topic he has completed. Course Topics Lessons Topics Support Students will have access to support if any questions or problems arise. Quick Start Guide Technology Training Administrators Additional Lesson Features: Some of the prearranged tracks have included quick reference materials called K-Cards. If available, these K-Cards will be displayed on the course listing page for the track. The K-Cards provide useful tips, techniques, procedures, and other reference information for students taking the course. Students are suggested to view these online or even print them out. The most common K-Cards cover Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook. 10 Demos and Activities As the student navigates through each topic, he is given the opportunity to master each concept through interactive activities. It is strongly recommended that the student does not skip any of the interactive activities since they are included in some course assessments. Each activity is divided into three parts. SHOW ME FULL DEMO This feature illustrates the step-by-step procedure of completing an operation. It demonstrates the actions of the mouse and keyboard in an orderly fashion. GUIDE ME THROUGH The same demonstrations are viewed, except in smaller bite-size pieces. After each demonstration is viewed, the student is given the opportunity to try the same procedure.

13 LET ME TRY The student is allowed to execute the procedure in its entirety. Notes: Space for the student to type and print notes on each topic Resources: Gives detailed references of procedure steps Launches Demos and Activities When the student attempts to execute each procedure in the GUIDE ME TROUGH and LET ME TRY sections, the tutorial provides a safety net when the student incorrectly executes a procedure. A pop-up window will appear, giving the option for the student to see a hint of the first step of the procedure or to watch the demonstration again for that procedure. Each tutorial, therefore, provides the mastery of each application procedure before the student moves on to the next material. Notes The student has the opportunity to take notes on each topic. By clicking the notes link, he can type notes for later reference. The typed notes are retained as the student moves from topic to topic and can be printed out. A.C.E. recommends that the student take notes as a means to study for each assessment, thus allowing better retention and recall, which facilitates the learning process. Interactive Exercises Periodically, the student must answer interactive exercises. These exercises will automatically pop up in a True and False lesson, prompting the student to respond. Several question formats are possible. Multiple Choice Lesson Labs In a Lesson-Level Lab, the student is given lab assignments that correspond with the current lesson. The student is asked to apply what he has learned. For this reason, Lesson Labs are not simulated. The labs may require the student to have the same software, hardware, or other resources as described in a lab setup. A downloadable and printable version of both the activity scenario and offline activity files are available as well as any data files necessary to complete the activity. If applicable, the student can check his work against a sample solution when he has completed the Lesson Lab. The student s work does not need to match the sample solution exactly to be considered correct. Lesson Labs are not required. However, A.C.E. strongly encourages students to complete the labs as it helps them apply what they have learned in a practical manner. These labs are not reflected in the student s grade. TTAs may use their discretion to determine how best to incorporate the labs. 11

14 12 Interactive Assessment Questions In addition to the normal multiple choice questions, there are interactive questions on some assessments. The student will have to demonstrate his or her knowledge of the program through a simulation of actually using the program. Each of these questions instructs the student to perform a basic task. The screen will display a screenshot that interacts just like the program on which the student has been taking lessons. To get the correct answer, the student will have to click through the normal steps required to reach the requested outcome. If the operation is not done properly or in the required order, the question will be counted wrong. Offline Course Player The Offline Course Player allows the student to download courses or course assessments and take them offline. This feature allows the student to take his training without having to access the Internet. It also increases the performance of the course player on the local computer verses over the Internet. Only one student license can be hosted on the Offline Course Player. Adding additional login profiles onto your operating system will facilitate more students accessing the Offline Course Player on a single computer. The student has the option of downloading an entire course, individual topics within a course, or course assessments. The student completes the topics or course assessments as he would for online courses. If the student downloads the course assessments, the number of assessments downloaded depends on how many assessments are left. If the student has not taken any course assessments online, a maximum of three will be downloaded. Downloading the Offline Course Player While the student is logged onto the Technology Training website, he may choose courses to download onto his computer. On the Course Topics screen, he may choose selected lessons, or entire topics. After the selections are made, he will click the Download Selected Items button at the top of the Course Topics screen. If this is the first time courses are downloaded, the student is prompted to download the Offline Course Player. The browser s pop-up blocker will need to be temporarily disabled to download the player. Once the Offline Course Player is installed, it will automatically download the selected courses. (For detailed instructions on installing the offline course player, see page 53 of this manual.) Synchronizing Course Contents After the student has finished a course, topic, or assessment offline, he has two options to update the course content and assessments. If the student has access to the Internet while he is working on the Offline Course Player, he may click the Synchronize now link at the top of the application window. This will update the server with course progress and assessments. The student may then go online and continue where he left off with the Offline Course Player. He may also check any of the boxes of the courses not downloaded yet (lessons with faded titles) and click the Download Selected Items button at the bottom of the application window. This will download additional course content from his course listings on the server. The student does not need to be logged onto the Technology Training website to use this feature, but he does need to be connected to the Internet. Course content may also be synchronized with the server while the student is logged onto the Technology Training website, even without the Offline Course Player open. At the top of the Course Topics screen, the student may click the Synchronize now link to update both

15 the online and offline content. He must be using the same computer on which the Offline Course Player is installed. Any course content completed on the Technology Training website will also be updated onto the Offline Course Player as long as the student has the courses downloaded. TIP: Turn computer monitors to face the supervisor in the Learning Center. Academic Considerations Academic Assessments Ready-Made Assessments Each Self-Paced Course has an assessment. The number of Self-Paced Courses varies within each application; therefore, the number of assessments varies as well. The assessments are made up of randomly generated questions in a multiple-choice format. Students are informed of the number of questions in the assessment before the test begins. One question from each topic is used on the assessment. Students are required to take these assessments. Students should be reminded that assessments are timed. The time allowed will be given on the Course Assessment Page and once again before the student begins the assessment. Most students should complete all the topics in a Self-Paced Course before taking the assessment; however, this is not required. Some students will already be familiar with the concepts of some of the Self-Paced Courses. Under the supervision of their TTA, these students can take the assessment before starting the course. If they pass with an 80 percent or higher, they can move on. Timed Assessments Courses have a time limit set for the assessment. The student will see a timer in the upper left corner of the assessment. The student must complete the assessment within the indicated time limit. When the timer reaches a specified number of minutes, the timer will start flashing to warn the student of the amount of time left until the assessment will end. Once the time limit is reached, the assessment is considered finished, whether the student has completed it or not. The system automatically saves the student s assessment. The student cannot exit the assessment until it has been saved. After the assessment has been saved, the Assessment Results will be displayed. Even though the assessment timed out, it will show a complete status. Time Limit Time Remaining 13

16 Assessment Features Once the student begins the assessment, a series of buttons will appear across the top of the assessment. Each of these tabs performs a specific task to help the student in taking the assessment. Back: Clicking on this tab moves the student to the previous question in the assessment. Note: If the student is on the first question of the assessment, this tab will be disabled. Next: Clicking on this tab moves the student one question ahead in the assessment. Note: If the student is on the last question of the assessment, this tab will be disabled. Check Answer: Clicking on this tab allows the student to check his response against the correct answer. If the student clicks OK, his answer will be marked as correct or incorrect, and his response to the current question will be locked. The student will be unable to change his answer. Question List: Clicking on this tab displays the complete list of questions for that particular assessment. Unanswered questions are highlighted and bolded. To return to a question, click the question text from the listing. The student can also flag a question to go back at a later time. Finish: Clicking on this tab allows the student to submit his responses and close the assessment window. If there are unanswered questions in the assessment, a message will be displayed. The student will have the option to continue the assessment or finish the assessment with the questions left unanswered. If the student chooses to finish the assessment, all unanswered questions will be marked as incorrect when the assessment is scored. Once the Finish confirmation is accepted, the assessment is considered complete, and the Assessment Results page will be displayed. Flagging a Question: This tab is located next to the timer in the upper left corner. Clicking on this tab allows the student to flag questions in the assessment. The student may click on the flag while viewing the individual assessment question or from the question list for a particular question to flag it. To unflag the question, the student will click the flag on the individual question again or click the flag for a particular question in the question list again. Help: Clicking on the question mark opens the online player help. Assessment Results When the student has completed the assessment, his responses are saved, and the Assessment Results page will be displayed. The Assessment Results page will show the percentage score that the student received and a list of incorrect questions as feedback for the student. This list can be printed for the student, however, A.C.E. does not recommend that students print this page. 14

17 A.C.E. Assessment Requirements Students are given three attempts to take the Course Assessments. Before a student takes an assessment, he is to inform the supervisor. Once the assessment is completed, the student should inform the supervisor of his score. Like PACE Tests, students are required to score above 80 percent on the Course Assessments. If a student scores above 80 percent, he advances to the next course. A Course Assessment Test score below 80 percent demonstrates inadequate learning or insufficient mastery of skills. The student who scores below 80 percent is not ready to proceed. He must complete and study the information in the missed topics in the course, indicated on the Course Topics page, in an attempt to pass the assessment. After the second attempt of scoring below an 80 percent, the Technology Training Administrator (TTA) should check the student s Assessment Detail and Attendance Activity Report to see if additional help is needed (see Reports section, page 17). Please Note: After the third assessment attempt with a score below 80 percent, the assessment tab is automatically removed from the site. The student will no longer be able to take the assessment. The student will receive the last grade he received on the assessment and move to the next course. If at the end of the year the student average is lower than 80 percent, the student must order a new subscription to retake the course and receive his computer science credit. This program does allow the option of printing a Course Completion Certificate by the TTA. However, this option will not be used for verification of class completion. Grading Each application contains several Self-Paced Courses. The student receives a grade for each course. After completing all the courses within an application, the grades are averaged together to get the cumulative grade. This cumulative grade is the grade that will appear on the Progress Report. To help keep the grades organized and to give students a visual of their remaining progress, printable grading sheets can be downloaded from the website on each Tech Track. They are also available in the Appendix of this manual. A copy of the appropriate grading sheets may be placed in the student s file. Find the student s grade by averaging the final grades for each application. Transfer the final course grade from the Final Grade Form (page 41 or page 52) to the Progress Report. NOTE: Students will only need the grading sheets for the specific courses they are taking. Every student will not use every grading sheet. Please photocopy only the grading sheets that pertain to the specific student. Course Progression Schedule As in all A.C.E. curriculum, students may move through the self-paced tutorials at their own rate. Nonetheless, basic guidelines are provided to show approximately how long it should take a student to progress through the courses. Please note that these are general time frames based on a student who works on the computer for 45 minutes a day, five days a week. You can reference the Appendix of this manual for a detailed listing of course times. Introduction to Technology Training Technology Training Administrators (TTAs) and students should choose the appropriate Operating System, Web Browser, and Office Suite for the student to complete. For example, if a student will be working on a computer with Windows Vista, it would be appropriate for him to complete the Windows Vista Operating System. It will take approximately one month for a student to complete the appropriate courses for his Operating System. 15

18 Each course within an application gives an estimated time in which the student should complete that course. For example, the approximate time it should take for a student to complete the first PowerPoint 2003 course is two hours and fourteen minutes. This is found on the Course Description page 31. The total time to complete Introduction to Technology Training can vary, depending on the student's familiarity with computers and the selected Operating System, Web Browser, and Office Suite. The average time for a student to complete the requirements for Introduction to Technology Training is hours. Estimated Hours for Completion of a Prearranged Track Prearranged Track Hours Track 1: Windows XP and Office Track 2: Windows Vista and Office Track 3: Mac OS X and Office for Mac 145 Track 4: Windows Vista and Office 2007 (Español) 130 Track 5: Windows 7 and Office Digital Art and Graphic Design Unlike Introduction to Technology Training, which has a wide variety of material to choose from, Digital Art and Graphic Design has just one track of material for the student to complete. This entire track is required. The Digtal Art and Graphic Design course should be taken as a computer science credit or an elective high school credit. The estimated time for a student to complete Digital Art and Graphic Design is 144 hours. Brainbench Online aceconnect Technology Training users will have the added privilege of accessing Brainbench exams. Brainbench is the leading global provider of online skills, aptitude, and knowledge measurement solutions. Their optional exams allow students to validate their subject area knowledge. Although these exams are available, they are not a requirement. If a student does attempt to take a Brainbench exam, please make him aware that the exams are timed. He must finish the exam in the time allotted. NOTE: Brainbench exams include information not covered in the aceconnect Technology Training courses. In addition, not all the courses have corresponding Brainbench exams. 16

19 Administrative Tasks: Step-By-Step Guide Reports Reports are useful tools to help Technology Training Administrators (TTAs) track student progress on a day-to-day basis. Different types of reports give the TTA different options for displaying report results. TTAs should remember that reports change from day to day as students complete more courses. The only reports TTAs need to be aware of are the Attendance, Offline Activity, Assessment, and Brainbench reports. The TTA has the option of choosing two different types of reports. Online reports are displayed on the Administrator site and cannot be saved. Export reports are detailed data that can be exported from the site into a database or spreadsheet format for additional analysis. This allows the TTA to save the report information for further review. Report Options Attendance, Offline, and Assessment Activity Reports The Report Options page is divided into many sections. The three main areas are the General Criteria, Additional Criteria, and Generate areas. There are numerous ways within these areas for Technology Training Administrators (TTAs) to specify the criteria by which their report will be filtered. However, not all of the fields on this page are applicable to TTAs. General Criteria Date Range: TTAs may use the Date Range fields to report on attendance activity during a specified time period. The Date Range only filters student attendance information. It does not filter the total number of students in the online and export summary reports. There are four Date Range choices: 1. Leaving both fields blank will generate a report that contains information about students attending courses throughout the entire time the school has had aceconnect Technology Training available. 2. Entering only a Start Date will generate a report that contains information about students attending courses between the specified date and the present. 3. Entering only an End Date will generate a report that contains information about students attending courses between the date that training began with the school and the specified date. 4. Entering a date in both fields will constrain the report results only for those students attending courses within the specified period. Additional Criteria Profile Data: This section enables TTAs to filter reports by student profile data. 1. Standard Fields: Select any of the standard profile fields (Username, First Name, Last Name, Status) to filter your report by those criteria. Reports may be filtered by a full entry (such as Smith for a Last Name) or a truncated entry (entering just an S or Smi in the Last Name field will return all users in the group with a surname beginning with those letters). 17

20 2. Product Data: You can filter students in your report based on product information, specifically the Course Title. If you enter the Course Title, you will filter on this criteria and it will display on the Reports Results page. Course Reference is not applicable. 3. Activity Filter: You can filter data for both offline and online activity. The system can track logins to the offline player, whether a topic was completed online or offline and the number of topics downloaded. 4. Assessment Results: You may choose to have the system include assessment results in determining topic completion. In this way students can be counted as complete for all or part of a course by doing well in the course assessment. Although there are three choices listed, TTAs should always select the first choice. The second and third choices do not pertain to TTAs. TTAs should always choose: Include assessment results for all courses. The system will count all courses the student has passed with an 80 percent or above as a completed course. Generate Reports Report Type: Enables you to view the report online or export it to your system. Exporting Reports directions are found below. Export Report View: Allows you to sort an exported report either by Course or by Student. Generate Report: Click to have the system create your report. Depending on the criteria entered, it may require some time for the system to compile the report information. Please be patient. The TTA may generate one of three report types. Online (all courses) This option will display on the site a summary of the courses the individual student has attended and completed and the total time he has spent working on those courses. Export Summary Report This option will open an Excel spreadsheet that lists all of the courses taken, the specific topics completed within a lesson, the date the student first started the course, and the last time the student worked on the course. Export Topic Detail Report This option will open an Excel spreadsheet that gives more detailed information about the specific topics and lessons a student has attended and completed. Exporting Reports When you click Generate Report Type, you will be asked to specify where the report will be exported.

21 Tips for Speedier Report Generation Reports can take many minutes to generate, but you can speed the process by using the criteria filters listed previously. As you use more filters, you refine the record set listed in your report and save the system from compiling unnecessary amounts of data. Follow these suggestions for speedy report processing: Available Reports Use the Date Range fields to constrain certain fields in your report results to a given time period. You can use one or both Date Range fields to filter; see General Criteria (page 17) for information about using the Date Range. Use student Profile Data to filter students in your report. Here you can filter by student or group. See Additional Criteria (pages 17 and 18) for more information on Profile Data. Reports generated online usually process more quickly than exported reports. You can cancel a report as it is being exported by choosing any of the options on the left navigation bar. Attendance Activity Report The Attendance Activity Report provides attendance data for students. Details included for each student listing are the courses attended and completed as well as the total attendance time. Summary data is provided at the student and school level.

42 Printable Grading Sheets The following pages are a collection of grading sheets to help you stay organized and to give your students a visual of their progress. Most of these grading sheets are for Introduction to Technology Training. The last grading sheet in the list is a complete grading sheet for Digital Art and Graphic Design. There is more detailed information below about how these grading sheets are to be used for each subject. Introduction to Technology Training As already stated, most of the following grading sheets are for Introduction to Technology Training. The three requirements for Introduction to Technology Training are that students complete one Operating System, one Web Browser, and one Office Suite. There is a single Final Grade Sheet for all of Introduction to Technology Training. The Final Grade Sheet has a blank for you to enter the Operating System grade, the Web Browser grade, and spaces for each application in the Office Suite. Following the Final Grade Sheet are detailed Grading Sheets for students taking one of the five prearranged tracks. If a student is taking one of the prearranged tracks, simply use the Grading Sheet for that track. The grades can then be transferred to the Final Grade Sheet. If a student is not taking one of the prearranged tracks, print the grading sheet for Nontracking courses on pages 51 and 52. You may need to combine that with some of the grading sheets from the prearranged tracks, depending on the courses the student is taking. Again, when a course is completed, transfer the grades to the Final Grade Sheet. Digital Art and Graphic Design The grading Sheet for Digital Art and Graphic Design is on page 52 following all the Introduction to Technology Training Grading Sheets. There is only one Grading Sheet for Digital Art and Graphic Design. This single Grading Sheet has blanks for you to enter the grades for each assessment that a student will take in Digital Art and Graphic Design. When he has taken all the required assessments, there are spaces for you to average his grades. 40
