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

11/30 - 12/1 (A): Introduction to Computer Science

"More than just a science, coding enables self-expression. When developing code, students impact the world around them while fostering problem-solving skills. Engagement soars when they see real-world connections to lessons they’re learning."

- Amy Braun, Pai Technology, us.editorial@mediaplanet.com

Today you will take the first steps to learning to code.  I realize some of you may have already learned some computer programming, but to be fully able to take advantage of some of the maker space projects here at Tech Freire, you need to learn to code in javascript, HTML, and other basic languages.  If you are interested in creating digital art, websites, applications, games, robotics, or other technology, coding is a gateway to all sorts of possible projects and ultimately to career paths.  Please spend a few minutes watching the video below, then complete a Constructed Response on why, or why not, you should learn to code.
