Thurs - Sept 11

Great work today everyone!  Everyone spent all day doing class work.  It was a pleasure to be here to help out where I could =)

Tomorrow, we will do a few more lessons:

1) We will study how to fill out an application for a loan/mortgage (Math 11 - unit 6)
         Primarily we will learn about ASSETS and LIABILITIES
This relates to positive and negative numbers in Khan Academy and to our Workplace math 11

Looking at these documents will be done in a few formats:

          pdfzen

          photo/scan/photocopy - print to pdf

          pen and paper *in this case, the content of learning about assets and liabilities is more important than the technology.  As such, we will look at the pen and paper method as well - combined with using a cell phone camera to convert a document into a .pdf which is the industry and government standard.  Having a strong mastery of technology allows people to move faster towards their goals.

2) We will watch 8th Fire (afternoon class will use that time for work catch-up)

3) We will all sign up for Twitter and follow significant First Nations leaders from across Canada

I'm looking forward to seeing many of you - for those of you who are doing this at home, please remember to fill out the attendance sheet, and please take the time to look at the information above online (you can search for a Consumer Information form or Mortgage Assets/Liabilities form on Google).
