TF Digital Tech Literacy: Seminar Projects

Introduction

Digital Literacy Class: We are going to learn about so many incredible ways to be creative, collaborative, and to communicate. We will focus on computer skills and applications. Some topics you already know about, and you will know better, and other topics and applications will be new to you! Either way, we will work together to find the ones you are able to use best. This class consists of Project-Based-Learning. You will be given plenty of time to learn the skills and applications that you will use for a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the material we will cover. - Mr. S

Seminar Projects - 4th MP

Today you will start your Computer Science Seminar. You may work on any projects you like that have technology components. Make an IMOVIE, Create a Song in GARAGEBAND, work on Code.Org, or work on any of the Extra Credit Mini Projects listed on the class website (LINK).

You can also work on Gamestar Mechanic (Create Video Games) or CODEHS.com, or Udacity or Kahn Academy to work on additional classwork.

BY THE END OF SEMINAR TODAY YOU MUST SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH THE PROJECT YOU ARE WORKING ON FOR SEMINAR AND WHO YOU ARE WORKING WITH (NO MORE THAN 3 STUDENTS ON A TEAM PLEASE).

YOU MAY NOT JUST WATCH YOUTUBE or LISTEN TO MUSIC. YOU MAY WORK ON OTHER HOMEWORK IF YOU LIKE. Whatever you decide to do, you must use some kind of technology as part of it.

Good Luck and I will see you in Seminar Tomorrow!

Overall Academic Class Standards

SELF-ASSESSMENTS

Student Self-Assessments refer to training students to evaluate themselves, and their work, for the purpose of improving outcomes. To become capable evaluators of their work, students must have:

- a clear target (goal)

- the opportunity to help create definitions of the quality of work.

- the opportunity to correct, or self-adjust, their work before turning it in.

Students are also prompted to reflect and evaluate strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement. These skills will allow for planning, improvement, goal-setting, and reflection. Emphasis will be placed on integration of previous learning across the school curriculum.

ISTE 2. Communication and Collaboration

Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others:

a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media

b. Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats

3. Research and Information Fluency

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information:

a. Plan strategies to guide inquiry

b. Locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media
