TF Digital Tech Literacy: Coding Projects For The Next Level!

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

Coding Projects For The Next Level!

When you are tired of the Blockly-Style coding that is used on some programs and projects, check out the following resources to create interactive webpages and other fun ideas:

Thisissand.com: Create your own Sand Drop Drawing!

WordArt.com: "WordArt.com is an online word cloud art creator that enables you to create amazing and unique word cloud art with ease.

Professional quality results can be achieved in no time at all, even for users with no prior knowledge of graphic design."

THIMBLE (MOZ://A): "Thimble is an online code editor that makes it easy to create and publish your own web pages while learning HTML, CSS & JavaScript." Projects include a Privacy Avatar Card, Fill-In-The-Blanks Story, Hacker Card Game, and a Homework Excuse Generator!

Note: If you create an account on THIMBLE, you will soon need to create an account on Glitch to save, and share your work. Read the information found here about the changes.

Code Club: "Here you’ll find step-by-step instructions for our coding projects, which will teach you how to create games, animations and more with code." Projects include using Scratch, HTML & CSS, Python, and learning how to use a Raspberry Pi! One of the most popular projects is learning about Pixel Art, you should try it!

BreakoutEDU: Here is a BreakoutEDU Virtual Escape Room to try! Let me know what your best time is!

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:
