Week of January 9

Welcome back for the spring semester. I hope that you had a restful break and are ready for a full and busy spring semester. This week, IED will start the Train Project. You will create 9 separate parts of a toy old-fashioned steam locomotive and assemble them to create the train car. The final product will look something like the picture on this post. This will be a major grade, and we will work on this for the next 2 weeks. Students will learn even more advanced Inventor skills. Remember that next Monday (January 16) is a school holiday. The more we get in to Inventor, the more grading I will be doing electronically, so it is more important than ever that you establish your folders on the I: drive correctly and save all work there. Please check to make sure where your files are being saved frequently. I will be checking journals later this week, so please leave them in the room for me to access.
