TF Digital Tech Literacy: High School Choice 2014

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

Are you ready to apply? Click Here To Log Into SchoolNet and Get Started!

You will need to get your parent/guardian permission to finish the application process. Tomorrow we will go over your transcripts! Most of the staff here at Crossroads are willing to write a Letter of Reference, but you need to ask. You need to make sure you are finishing your work, coming to school on-time and every day. Your transcripts from last year mean a lot, but a letter from us may help get you in. Do your best, stay out of trouble, and let us help you help yourself!

Good Luck!
