TF Digital Tech Literacy: Glen's Village - Reflection Tackk.Com Project

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

Glen's Village - Reflection Tackk.Com Project

Objective: Students will create Tackk.com websites to help them describe and discuss stories about overcoming obstacles in their lives. Each student will choose someone they consider a hero, and create a website to show how they overcame adversity to be successful. Tackk.com websites must include the following:

Headlines

Student/Class Information

Name of "Hero" Being Highlighted

Video of "Hero" from somewhere online.

Explanation of why this person is a "Hero"

Description of Situation "Hero" faced.

Description of Obstacles in the way

Explanation of how "Hero" overcame Obstacles

Description of Lessons Learned by Student

Link to Student's Weebly School Website

Use the following links to view the entire program of "Glen's
Village". Discuss the differences and similarities his story may have
to your lives. Write a paragraph (Weebly Journal) or two about something that might
"save" you in your near future, and a little about the path you want to
be on in your life!

Overall Academic Class Standards

SELF-ASSESSMENTS

Student Self-Assessments refer to training students to evaluate themselves, and their work, for the purpose of improving outcomes. To become capable evaluators of their work, students must have:

- a clear target (goal)

- the opportunity to help create definitions of the quality of work.

- the opportunity to correct, or self-adjust, their work before turning it in.

Students are also prompted to reflect and evaluate strengths, weaknesses, and areas of improvement. These skills will allow for planning, improvement, goal-setting, and reflection. Emphasis will be placed on integration of previous learning across the school curriculum.
