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

Historical Facebook Research Project 2015 - INTRODUCTION


TEMPLE: ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE


Students will use the time to set up Weebly website for use in school and in other classes.  Students will use the website as a Personal-Professional Online Portfolio.


Students will begin keeping an online BLOG Journal on the website created.





STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!


STUDENTS MUST START BY READING ALL DIRECTIONS ON CLASS WEBSITE!

















ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE


Students will learn the basic ways to complete internet-based research.  Students will focus on a famous historical figure and complete research about that person’s life, and a significant event during that time in history.  Students will be required to create a summary project based on that event and that person.  Students will review and comment on work created by their peers in class.






STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!




STUDENTS MUST START BY READING ALL DIRECTIONS ON CLASS WEBSITE!  Students will use the resources in class to create a Facebook-Style page for a famous historical figure.  The page created must center around a specific event from that person’s life, and research must be done to describe the person, event, and other people who would have been involved!




All Other Groups:




Today you will begin to build a body of knowledge about a Famous Historical Figure of your choosing.  You may not choose anyone that someone else is working on.  Please (Click Here) for BIOGRAPHY.com's list from A to Z of famous people.






All selections are subject to approval from MR. S.









You must list at least THREE (3) SOURCES for the research and find pictures of your person as well.  YOUR SOURCES CAN NOT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:



WIKIANSWERS, WIKIPEDIA, or directly reference any Search Engine (GOOGLE, YAHOO, etc.)



I suggest you do your basic research at Biography.com, but you must find 3 additional sources of information and list them on your final project. Once your initial research is finished, I will show everyone the Powerpoint Template in class and teach you how to fill it out.  You will be PRESENTING YOUR FACEBOOK PROJECT TO THE CLASS when it is completed, so find as much information as possible on your person!





Good Luck!
