Second Semester Welcome


Hello and welcome to all my second semester classes. This is my blog, where I will from time to time post important information or interesting articles about the world of computers relevant to our courses.

As part of the your communication mark you will be expected to post 2 blogs a week. I will mark them every two weeks. You will write about your experiences in class and the material you are learning.

If you notice over on the right hand side of this post there is a sign up form for my email newsletter. By adding your name and personal email to it , you will receive a weekly email from me reminding you of any upcoming work, test, assignments etc.

Your marks will not be included in the email, but you can get updated marks via First Class.

A couple of reminders to finish off, you must get the course info sheets signed at soon as possible.

Good luck with the course and I hope you find it interesting and rewarding.

Mr. Chiarelli

Semester One Wrap Up

Hello everyone

As the semester concludes I hope you found the courses interesting and useful. If you are interested in furthering your computer skills I have some other choices below.

If you took ICS2O1... then you may want to continue programming by taking
ICS3C or
ICS3U
.... and later
ICS4  (XBOX game development and Flash Games)


If you took IDC3OW... then you may want to continue web design by taking
IDC4OW


Looking just for an computer applications courses but not programming... then try
BTA3O1 (extensive use of all the newest, neatest web apps and techonology.... not just the basic Office Apps)
