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

Yearbook MacWorks Pages Project (300 points)







Today you will be creating your own 1/3 page for the Crossroads
Yearbook.  Your page section will be copied and listed alphabetically in
our yearbook.  The yearbooks will be printed in black & white to
save money, but an electronic color copy will be emailed to everyone and
linked to my website for download.  You can then print and bind your
own color copy if you like.



Here is a video tutorial I recorded to help you: (Click Link and Watch It)

Here are some tutorials for you to learn how to use MacWorks Pages:

When you think you have mastered the software a bit, please click the
link below to download the template.  You will be using any one of the
three outlined spaces to create your page.  Do not resize the background
blocks, but you can change the background color and edge trim. 
Ultimately, the yearbook staff will be editing, proofreading, and
pasting your section into the final draft of the yearbook.

Anyone who does not submit this project will have the picture from their
SCHOOL DISTRICT ID used in the yearbook.  Enjoy creating this last
project of the year.  Do not forget that any time not spent on this
project can be spent finishing your Family Monthly Budget, working on
your 8th Grade Project, or working on Extra Credit items to improve your
grades.



Good Luck,



- Mr. S 



Please see the example below for what the yearbook pages will look like:
