Next we are going to examine some hypothetical business situations. Consider the ethics of two of the following questions in posts on your blog:
* Should a defense attorney work for a client he believes to be guilty?
* Should a secretary keep quiet about a supervisor who adds personal expenses to business-expense reimbursement claims?
* Should an accountant sign a client's tax return when he knows the return contains false information?
* Should a salesperson push an inferior product just to make a quota?
Write your opinion in two posts on your blog!

Class,
I'm very pleased to be your teacher this year for business technology/keyboarding.
First of all, I'm excited because so much is happening right now in business. There is a great deal to learn, discuss, and analyze.
Because so much of what we will do in this class is based on writing, first we are going to learn how to type correctly. Typing correctly means typing with accuracy and speed using the home keys of ASDF JKL; (soon you'll be a master).
With that first lesson (the home keys) out of the way, you will create your class blogs. Go to http://www.blogger.com . Click on "Get your blog now!" The instructions are easy to follow and we will create the blog in class so it will be easy to ask questions.
Write down your username and password and keep it hidden.
Your first post is to write a page analyzing how computers have changed business over the past decade and how you expect them to change business over the next ten years. If you wish you can extend the time period to as far as you like.
Creating the blog is your first grade (what an easy A!) and the post is your second grade.
Today is the last day you will be allowed to type in any manner you wish. Starting tomorrow your hands must be on the home keys. Even if you are a great typist, you'll get better. If you have no clue how to type, you'll find it will change your whole life. It's a great skill.
We will also learn how to write business letters, use correct grammar, make proposals, and create ads. We will also cover spreadsheets, databases, and presentation software.
This course will be one of the most practical and interesting you'll take.
