TF Digital Tech Literacy: Hour Of Code

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

Hour Of Code - Extended Learning

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT WEBSITE REVIEWS: There is also a link (In the Critical Links 16/17 box on the right of the Class Assignment Site) to REVIEW the Strikingly Public Service Websites. Click Here to see the list of topics by student, and review at least two other websites using the form. The websites with the best reviews will be highlighted on our Class Assignment Site.

HOUR OF CODE EXTENDED LEARNING: Today you will complete your Star Wars "Blocks" Hour of Code Game. Make sure you Copy/Paste the link to your game in the COMMENT Section of the Schoology Post for this project for credit.

When you have completed the Star Wars "Blocks" Tutorial, try to complete the tutorial in "JavaScript Mode". This will actually make you drag or type the correct JavaScript code to make everything work. You can also work on another tutorial or section from Code.Org. Some of you might even want to check out the following links for more coding projects:

Go to Code.Org, Sign-In, and work on the STAR WARS "JavaScript" Levels. You can also work on any of the other Hour of Code tutorials.

Go to Made With Code by Google and create your own personal emoji.

Make sure you are going home this weekend and showing others how they can learn Computer Science. Learning to code, and the logic, problem-solving, and creativity behind it is a fun and valuable skill to have in any career. Enjoy this program, and keep coding!

Good Luck!

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.

ISTE 2. Communication and Collaboration

Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others:

a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media

b. Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats

3. Research and Information Fluency

Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information:

a. Plan strategies to guide inquiry

b. Locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and media

General Computer-Based / Project Based Classroom Standards Met:

PA Common Core 8.5.6-8G: Integrate visual information (e.G. charts, graphs, maps, video, etc.) with other information in print or digital format.

ISTE 3.3A: Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information, and other resources, for intellectual and other pursuits.

ISTE 3.3D: Students build knowledge by actively exploring real world issues and problems, developing ideas, and pursuing answers and solutions.

CSTA Collaboration 1: Apply productivity/multimedia tools, and peripherals, to a group collaboration and support learning throughout the curriculum.

CSTA CPP1: Use advanced tools to create digital artifacts.

PA CEW Standards Met

PA 13.1.8A Career Awareness and Preparation

Relate careers to individual interest, abilities, and aptitudes.

PA 13.1.8G Create an individualized career plan including, but not limited to Assessments, Career Goals, individual interests and abilities, and Training/Education requirements.
