TF Digital Tech Literacy: PEACE DAY 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

PEACE DAY 2014

Check out TACKK.COM. I found this in a magazine on the flight home from a weekend trip. I thought this would be an interesting and fun way to post information for school. You can easily create single page websites for your work. You could create a single TACKK without logging in, or create a series of TACKK's. Please go to the website TACKK.COM to get started. Make sure you add the TAG (caatech) to all of your sites so we can see them.

Here is the link for my PEACE DAY Tackk.com Webpage:

Overall Academic Class Standards
