TF Digital Tech Literacy: Personal Monthly Budget 2014 College & Major Day

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

Personal Monthly Budget 2014 College & Major Day

Today you will create a Journal Entry (Weebly Journal) after reading the following article:

https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/explore-careers/college-majors/the-college-major-what-it-is-and-how-to-choose-one

Please describe what major you are interested in and why you chose it at this point in your life. I realize college is a few years away, and I am sure your interests might change between now and when you are going to go to school, but you will use the information you develop today to research future careers tomorrow. Eventually, you will be responsible for choosing a College, Career, and your first Job after college to complete the PERSONAL MONTHLY BUDGET PROJECT (PMB) over the next few weeks!

After your Journal Entry is complete, please go to CollegeBoard.Org and create an account. (CLICK HERE). You will use this site to research your College and Major and use the information tomorrow to decide what your first career might be. You must complete the COLLEGE SEARCH and MAJOR AND CAREER SEARCH sections of the CollegeBoard.Org website prior to completing the survey below.

When you have completed today's research, please add the name of your college and the major you have chosen to the Google Spreadsheet by answering the following questions on this link:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1a1yKllyW3DBgE_-H6U3P2dLHR_n-PKDvP6ZDcKNFviM/viewform?usp=send_form

Tomorrow we will discuss Financial Literacy and Financial Planning. Later this week you will see a list of entry-level positions that people could choose based on a variety of decisions. You will be entering your college and major and choosing a career with this site. Your choices will determine where you will live and what career you will start with. We will also be discussing financial planning and investing later this week.

When you have completed the Journal Entry and the College & Major
Survey above, you are free to finish your Yearbook Pages that are due by
the end of today!

Good Luck!

Mr. S
