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

083021: PowerSchool / Online Tutorial Sites / Google Drive

Today we will be learning to access information on PowerSchool, signing up for supplemental learning websites, and learning to access and use Google Drive.  Please make sure to follow along during class so you can learn to utilize these important resources!

POWERSCHOOL

Using the worksheets I will hand out in class, you should be able to log into PowerSchool on your school-issued Chromebook and your personal cellphone.  Once you know your login information, please take a few moments in class to bookmark the correct link for the Tech Freire PowerSchool website.  You may now login and review class information, announcements, and your grades.  Spend some time navigating around the page and learn to understand how to use this application.

GOOGLE DRIVE INTRODUCTION

Follow along in class to utilize some of the basic functions of Google Drive.  You can open applications, store and share files, and organize items in folders.  This is your cloud-based file and project storage space.  You can also collaborate with others on almost every project right from your Google Drive.


Tomorrow you will be accessing a Google Document from the lesson information, making a copy of that document, and then sharing it with Mr. S (harvey.scribner@techfreire.org) to complete your Mastery Assignment for the week.  You will also have an Effort Grade Gmail Reflection II sometime this week.  Make sure you can access your Google Drive and GMail for more information as the year goes on!  Good Luck!
