GPS and router video blind assignment Learn M and X

We are going to start with watching two videos - one explains the GPS and the other explains what a router is (you should remember me talking a little bit about a router from last week).

Next is the router video:

View What Is an Internet Router? on Howcast

We will take a few minutes to warm up for the blind assignment.  Todays process will be slightly different than what we did in class on Tuesday, and the difference is just that we are printing out today (which we didnt do on Tuesday).  Therefore, when we get done I will explain what I want you to do. 

The rules for this assignment are as follows:  if you pull your document back on your screen you will lose .5 pts; any misspelled word loses you .5 pts; every time you forget to hit return between words will  reduce your score by .5 pts; and if you take your speed skin off while we are working on this you will lose .5 pts every time you are caught.

After completing all of this we will also learn two new keys - the M (R1) and the X (L3).
