Work Submission Requirements
All assignments need to be done on computer.  We are doing this in an effort to save paper, as well as to reinforce the word processing skills that are so direly needed to be proficient in this class. If assignments are done at home, please make sure that work is done in a file format that is able to be used here at school as well.  For a list of files and formats that are used read the following:

Files and Formats

If you do work at home and need to bring it back to school to work on it,
or if you are turning it in for a grade, make sure you use the correct format.
We will update this list as we continue to use more programs throughout the year.

 

Type of Program File Format Program we use at school
Word Processor .doc,    .rtf,    .txt 
(to make sure it is compatible)		 Microsoft Word 2003
Image painting, creation .png , .tiff ,  .bmp Macromedia Fireworks
Adobe Photoshop Elements
MS paint
More information to be added to this list as we work on more programs.

In some cases, you may work on some assignments using software that is not the software that we use in class. However, if this is done, it is the student's responsibility to convert the file to the proper format for viewing.
