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 - Google Map Day

Here is a link to your responses for the CAREER DAY Search Sheet:

Today you will be creating a GOOGLE MAP of your new home and work area. 
Please sign-in to GMAIL and then follow Google site to Google Maps. 
Below is a link to a sample map that I created for myself.  It assumes
that my first job out of college was teaching here.  I located our
school, a local apartment, and I saved the route I take to work (use Get
Directions and save the result to your map).  I also included most of
the information that you will have to find for yourself.  See my example
at the following link:



http://goo.gl/maps/aCRTS



Once you have looked at my map, your assignment today is to CREATE your own GOOGLE MAP that includes the following items:



Work, Home, Directions (Route) from Home to Work



You must also include the following:



GROCERY

POLICE STATION

SHOPPING MALL/CENTER

LAUNDRY/DRY CLEANER

COFFEE SHOP

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION (Closest Bus or Train)

CLOSEST MAJOR AIRPORT (In case you need to fly home to Philly)

HOSPITAL

DOCTOR'S OFFICE

DENTIST'S OFFICE

CHURCH/PLACE OF WORSHIP (Optional)

THREE (3) DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS

TWO (2) FUN THINGS TO DO



Please add me (hscribnercaa@gmail.com) as a COLLABORATOR and email me
the link to your map.  In the Email with the link, you need to identify
the following items by listing the Company and Customer Service Phone
Number for each service in your new city:



PHONE COMPANY

CABLE COMPANY

NATURAL GAS COMPANY

ELECTRIC COMPANY

TRASH PICKUP COMPANY

WATER SERVICE

SEWER SERVICE

POLICE DEPARTMENT

FIRE DEPARTMENT

AMBULANCE COMPANY





This exercise will give you an idea of what types of things you need to
look for if you move to another city someday to take a job or start
college.  Even if you share an apartment/house with others, you should
know this information.  Good Luck!!
