1/7 Hours 2.5 Comments: I completed some safety tests that I didn't get finished in unit-05 and continued on unit 08 through 13 and got them complete. I have discovered that the MacDraft Program is still not working properly on my computer. I think I need to have an administrator install it on my computer. I have found the student that has the program and he is supposed to return it to me in the near future.

1/14 Hours 4.5 Comments: I am working on 1/13/10 in the carpentry shop as well as 1/14/10 because of personal business and I may need to leave early after after school on 1/14/10. I have started my scanning on unit 14 and worked part way through unit 20 at the end of class on the 14th. No problem, just keep track of your hours.

1/21 Hours 2.5 Comments I scanned unit 21, 34, and NCCER 00102-04 (Skip told me what I need to do to make the registration stay. Remind me to log on to your computer as admin before you get started or before you leave.)

1/28 Hours 2.5 Comments I have finished all units 1 through 30 plus some of the NCCER units. I have a total of 40 units on instruction. I still need the MacDraft program installed on my computer. Skip tried and could not do it. He said we need to make a file with the code on it so you can just copy/paste.

2/4 Hours 2.5 Comments I have finished all units 1 through 40 with the exceptions of the NCCER curriculum units which I will not have the updated materials until next school year. The next project I want to do in this class is learn to surf the web to find information on materials and methods of construction. I don't know how you feel about it but I have added your wikispaces address to my bookmark. Here is another site for you to bookmark:) []

I have saved all of my school work done on the school laptop in this class on the server as well as my Ed Techs. laptop computer.

3/25 Hours 2.5 Comments I have been looking at Construction Master Pro calculators on line and with some information the Calculated Industries sent.
