Computers for Student Use

In the web class all students are assigned an individual computer that they can store documents on and log into their own profile. How beneficial would this be in an individual classroom if students had a computer for their personal use everyday?

Should the students be allowed to take the computers home? What drawbacks would this bring?

CEOs of Fortune 500 Companies

All,

Research the Fortune 500 list. What does it mean for a company to be a part of this list? List one of the companies, the current stock price and the CEO of the company. See which companies your classmates chose and please do not list the same company twice.

Looking forward to tomorrow's class.

Regards,

Mr. M.

A quote by Teddy Roosevelt

Dear class,
I would like you to read the quote below by Theodore Roosevelt and comment on what it means to you.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
