DIMM Project Plans for this week

If you are in the DIMM class, the project is due by Weds at the end of class or during WOW if I gave you a pass.  You should have the top 5 from the MAPP Assessment and pick 3 to tell me a page each about why it fits or does not fit you.  Web search the job sites (Monster, Careerbuilder, or Hotjobs) to get three jobs that are posted in the San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, or Houston areas.  Copy and paste them to the project and print it.

We are working towards doing career applications to finish out the week.

Remember it is a WOW Weds, Late Start on Thurs, and Pep Rally on Fri.
Hang in there.

End of Six Weeks

We are coming up on the Final exam for the end of the six weeks.
Testing will be the 29th and 30th.
Test will be on Bill of Rights and Definitions from Penal Code.

As we come upon the second six weeks we will begin working on
our crime scene search procedures and paperwork for LPSCS and LE 1.

DIMM class will continue on the Career projects seeking want ads on the
internet and posting them into our projects.

Have a great weekend and don't forget the carnival is this Saturday.

Thursday Sept 23rd

I have to be at ACC this day for articulation meeting. 

DIMM will keep working on the Career Projects Part 1 where you do the assessment
and then take the top 5 careers and post them on the page.  Next you pick three of those
top 5 and write a page each on those careers, what is it requiring and am I going to the right
college, etc.  Part 2 is beginning to do Online Job Searches.  You may use Monster.com;
http://www.statesman.com/; careerbuilder; or any others.  Cut and paste any two jobs available for
those jobs.  Try to find one in Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas areas.  I should be back on Monday.

LPSCS will be doing videos on Thurs and be sure that you write down 3 items you see or
that you disagree with in the videos.  Be sure and list the video on the page for me.

Be sure that you have your Homework ready for Thurs and Friday 23/24 as it will
be due.  Fingerprints or mug shot card or copy from Internet.

See you on Friday and Monday.
