WELCOME TO AN ADDITIONAL BLOG THIS WEEK

HAPPY SATURDAY! 

I know you've already received a blog for this week, so if you are confused right now I apologize.  This is an additional blog published on Saturday, October 6th.  There are no required written assignments on this blog, but I would like you all to view two additional Video/Power Points and invite you to post any questions or comments that you wish.   After reading many of your questions and discussions this week I wanted to respond in a manner that everyone would get the same information.  I felt that you all brought up some very important points and they deserve an answer in a timely manner (versus waiting until next week when we all meet face-to-face [Saturday, October 13,th]).

At the very end of this blog you will also find another opportunity to practice coding miscues.  Please know that this is just if you would like some additional practice.  IT IS NOT REQUIRED!   It is just for those of you who requested an opportunity to practice a bit more.  I have added a copy of the text as well so you can follow along.

Enjoy you week!
