Dear Student: You can earn 15 points of Extra Credit for every "point-earning" exercise that you take on this site, or at http://auciello.net to a maximum of 200. Just record and post your points on the EC form, and when I verify them, they will be added to your grade total. ... There are 100's of lessons on both sites. Look at all of them, adding as much skills as possible. Restated: Practically, you can earn up to 200 EC. They must be verifiable (explained in the EC section). Ideally, click all the links you find, and learn all you can! Really recommended! ... There is also a "Comprehensive Set of Information Technology Skills" checklist posted at http://govirtual.us/skills-set.html ... look at it. Continually added to. Note. Sept. 21, 2010. My classes are now in room K304, and we are using "thin client" workstations -- which have clear disadvantages / advantages (see TA Donte Dixon for more info.) -- When your station is not working, click the link below, print and complete it, and hand carry to the Dept. Office, placing it under the door if necessary. .... Our goal is to notify the tech staff quickly and have all stations working perfectly!

Dec. 7, 2010! An extremely significant thing happened! It is about Macro Programming! ... I got a feeling that I had to take you as far as possible into this area! I did it! It works great! Do as much as you can .. Go as far as you can .. On the scale, the Final Project Macro Programming takes you about 6" .. with about 500 yards (of programming) to go! ... Engage it! Fight your way to successful Visual Basic Programming! Copy?
Nov. 16 2010. I have some important info for you! ... Somehow, someway I got on a STEM Proficiency kick, seeing the relationship between survival, sustained growth, quality of life, "making a difference", etc. -- You get the idea! ... I am putting literally every bit of myself into creating "Blast!" lesson that go into some advanced technology! ... Examples, using EXCEL interactively, visually to accelerate learning of Functions! .. Using JavaScript to create forms that convert one number system to another -- cubic centimeters (liters) to cubic inches ... and I discovered a lot about fuel efficiency! ... Really, in short, a STEMTREK! ... Get on board, and go where you should have gone 20 years ago! ... My sincerest. Prof. A. Out.
Sept. 03 2010. NEWS! Something "magical" appears happening! .... Classes packed! ... Great Help arriving ... New classroom ... GameMaker working (look at CIS 99) ... Example: this week we did the PowerPoint Lessons, and students and I engaged in dialogue about perfecting the Lesson! ... At first, I said "just skip the ones you can't answer." ... Not good enough, students came back with TQM, Quality, and together, we updated the questions! ... I am thrilled with this! Engagement, conversation, connecting felt great! ... I admire the students' quest for Quality! ... I reward and acknowledge them -- Jose and Kevin Walters, and others ... Keep it up! ... This is exactly what Education is supposed to be about! .... Further suggestion -- just go thru every lesson in every course (over 300), and knock them out ... and dialogue with me, having fun and learning! ... Way to go! Prof. A. Out.
Dear Student, on June 15th, 2010 -- at halftime with Lakers leading 51-31 -- and after turning in my grades -- I feel the need to communicate with all of you:
Point 1: -- Over half my students 'exceeded the requirement' for an 'A' ... (almost "excessive" profits -- just kidding) ... They did every lesson, quiz, and activity they could find on the site! ... This is exactly what I would have done! Restated: A majority of students hit not only the "A" level, but hit the A+ level ... (I will write them Letters of Recommendation!) ... This is the way it should be! ... Engagement leads to immersion and proficiency!
Point 2: For those who earned less than 100 points, I gave you an incomplete, and because I want you to understand how gratifying learning can be, I will give you a chance to re-enroll and, keeping your account active for a year, allow you to work the site, and build points! .... Restaed: Re-enroll, keep hitting the website, hit the 900 mark (raised 100 points), and you can turn your "incomplete" to a completed "A".
This summer, I will try to post some C# lessons ... go with me, in CyberSpace ... do as much Programming / Scripting as you can find --- Find "Try-It" exercises from W3Schools, do SQL, hunt down and do all the Visual Basic as you can ... even "reverse engineer" some websites that I posted ... for their XML and JavaScript ... Start building your programming skills ... it will be part of your career ... even Office Workers, now, create Macros in WORD, etc! ...
Back to the game .. I am always open to communicate with you ... Understand that I was fortunate to have Great Teachers and Mentors at the University of Massachusetts, and I bring that model of close interaction and perfection with me. (I used to sit at the top of the tower (restaurant), eat with my advisor, sip a glass of wine, while he went over my work, point by point, taking it and me apart -- and I immediately improved my work -- so after 15 weeks, he had little to say, and we just enjoyed the experience! ... This is the life that I want you to have! ... Copy that ... talk to me: joseph@auciello.net

(some explanation here: part of my background is Total Quality Management, [Google for "Auciello TQM"] so I carry a lot of responsibility to keep this standard!)
2. Create a New Account, so your work (points) can be accumulated. Click the button. Use firstnamelastname for Username, so Bill Hernandez becomes "billhernandez" and recommend that you use the last 4 (four) digits of your student ID for the Password (so you won't easily forget). Test it by logging in and out, several times.
3. Borrow my camera, get a head shot, pick a good color background, and upload your picture to your Profile ... part of setting up new account
4. Navigate to your course. Click the buttons describing the work for the Week. This course is all about "Empowerment" and Education, so we work on the "honor" system, giving respect all around, but I do validate your work when I have to!5. Points! All about points. 900 = A, 800 = B, etc. You earn points for taking quizzes. So learn how to check your point total.
6. This is all about "continuous learning", so go outside the box and learn all that you can. I will find ways to give you Extra Credit for your research!
7. Having a Learning Community is my M.O. so helping each other means the class can cover more ground. Helping, building on models, collaboration is part of the plan.
8. It is all about your success, so get all the help you
need from me, my TA's, classmates, C-102 staff, forums / Wikis ... etc ... contact me ..

This class Website is Free and Open! ... I am a happy guy, writing this while my family is sleeping in on Dec. 26, surrounded by Daughter, son-in-law, grandkids, nieces ...a small army of small people. Very happy time! .. I am about "Working hard and smart", and so is this website! If and when you get involved with it, you could get "hooked" on learning. It is "addictive" perhaps because it is "adaptive", "immersive", and "interactive"! ... I am using about all of skills to make this site "alive" ... Learning is fun, and great, and education leads to proficiency which leads to success and money! With "Dynamic Learning" as the goal, I was inspired to hit a number of peaks. For example Lesson Week 12, Comprehensive PowerPoint, CIS 035, can teach you PowerPoint (PPT) in 1 hour or less! ... Click Lesson-Quiz. Week 12. Comprehensive PPT then login using "student" as both Username and Password, and review the Lesson. It takes about 30 minutes and can make you PPT competent quick! -- It uses "Copy and Paste" techniques for building on a Model, High Quality Graphics Design, "Measurable Learning" (your result can be measured), Adaptive techniques (if wrong, try and try again with hints), Highly Interactive (a View, Think, Act, Adjust, and React System), Collaborative (go to a Forum for Help, and , coming, see who's Online, and ask them for help). Every learning style, every techniques technically possible to help you reach proficiency fast! I am helped in this by a huge body of Virtual Teachers and Web Professionals, including, and, starting with Martin Dougiamas, creator of Moodle, a teaching, authoring, and course management system that this site uses ... and an international set of individuals who inspire me and join me in the effort to use "Technology to Peak Performance" ... I work in a High Performance conducive environment at LA Trade Tech, focused on, and led by, inspired administrators, educators, Internet Developers and Attorneys, and advisors who guide me to apply Web 2.0, Web 3.0, Social Networking, "Wiki", and "Community Collaborative" tools and techniques in order for me to "Peak my own Performance"! ... A good thing would be to get all the kids in your life enrolled and working on this website! .... Thus I want "Learning to be Contagious" ... it is fun, healthful, successful and soul-satisfying ...

Four (4) Breakthroughs:
1. I just finished (11/2/09) writing Week 10 Introduction to Cascading Style Sheets for CIS 035, and because of the "Tryit" editor, a student can copy-paste and experiment with the code -- and the answers are recorded too! It is truly "Accelerated Learning!" -- am glad to be part of it! Out.
2. CIS 757 Week 08 for "Measurable Learning": Students are given HTML to modify and test, and test results are Graded! Also the interactivity encourages "rapid" learning!
3. See Week 09 (Windows 7) CIS 758. Students search for key words in large block of text, and learn (hopefully) in small learning blocks (learning while avoiding the TMI (To Much Information problem).
4. PHP is now being taught and cPanel-access to a server! -- this starts "Server Side Programming"! The flexibility of Moodle and the inexhaustable power of PHP combine to make beautiful lessons!! -- See Week 03 Quizzes in CIS 035 and 757! Go Learn a Lot!
