• NOTE: Some student may have trouble keeping up with the computer work...because they are taking too long on the focus, or due to absences, or something. Part of the focus is reading EVERYTHING between the BLUE and RED bars. Some students miss important details, etc. when they rush through the focus. Please plan on extra lab time before or after school or access the focus at home to get caught up. When you turn in work late...it is frustrating for both of us! So, please keep up...and get your stuff in on time.

   

  Remember, the Focus counts about 30-40% of the 6 weeks grade. This class does not have an official tutorial...but there is an open computer lab (F3) in the afternoon where you can work on your stuff with a teacher available for assistance...and I am available as noted below.

   

  Please note of the following:

   

  • Access Focus at home or other remote location:

    • http://staff.beaumont.k12.tx.us/gloker/focus.htm or http://staff.drewloker.com 

    • Use DROPBOX to sync your school computer folder and your home computer.

   

   

  • F3 Computer Lab Time (across from the Master Teaching Room):

    Any student needing to do Internet research or type essays, projects, or reports may use the computer.   Mrs. Saunders will offer technical support. Students coming to the morning lab will need to get a hall pass from one of their teachers or Mrs. Thames. Access to this classes webpage while at West Brook is: http://staff/gloker

     

    • See Mrs. Saunders website for the most current lab times: http://staff.beaumont.k12.tx.us/msaunde/

     

   

  • V61 Extra Lab Time:

    If you need extra lab time to work on V61 specific projects (darkroom in the first semester...or computer lab for Photoshop work in the 2nd semester), you may plan to work Thursday afternoons, just please schedule with me to make sure that I will be here. Also, generally, you need to plan to have a friend with you as I do not allow students to work by themselves. Your friend can work on a computer as well so they will not be a distraction to you.

     

    • Thursday, after school, by Appointment (make sure I am going to be here). After the first semester (the closing of the darkroom), generally, the only time is durign other classes

    • During other classes IF THAT teacher will write you a pass.
