092721: Digital Portfolios (Google Sites)

Resumes used to be the only tool you had to showcase your academic and professional achievements when you were looking for a new job. Today you have so many more options, one of which is to create a Digital Portfolio. This visual representation of your history and greatest achievements provides employers with proof of what you can do and helps them see why they should consider hiring you. It also sets you apart from all the other candidates who simply send in a resume and cover letter.

Please watch the video below for tips on what to include on your portfolio as you get older:

A DIGITAL PORTFOLIO IS AN ONLINE COLLECTION OF YOUR VERY BEST WORK, THAT VISUALLY PROVES WHAT YOU CAN DO!

092321: Hero Project Slide Template / Letterhead / Logo

Today you will be creating a logo for your very own production company.  You will use this logo, or a video version of it (created later in this course) on all of your projects for the rest of the year.  There are many applications and websites out there to help you.  We will only be looking at a few of them.

Project 1: (❗️) Hero Project Slide Template -  Follow along in class to create your template for the HERO PROJECT SLIDE.  You will add basic title, information, and space for a photograph.  You may choose whatever background color you like.  Save the template for use when you have completed your interview and need to create the final step of the project!

Project 2: (❗️) Personal Letterhead Template (GDOC) -  Follow along in class to create your template for PERSONAL LETTERHEAD (GDOC).  You can save this template and use it whenever you need to turn in a written single-page report or write a letter.

Project 3: (❗️) Create a LOGO (Coat of Arms) using photos, drawing, or any other medium.  Watch the video about why a LOGO is important "Why is a Professional Logo Important?" (Click Here).  You should be able to create something with either program.  I would suggest using the LogoGarden Application to start getting ideas, but to get a higher quality logo, you will need to use Inkscape (more information to follow tomorrow), or YouiDraw.com (See Below).

You can use the Free Logo Designer on LogoGarden to help you come up with an idea, but you will not be able to download your creation as a High Resolution Image.  There are literally hundreds of other free websites to help you.  Pick one!  Once you have designed it on LogoGarden, try to use a drawing program or PowerPoint to recreate your logo.  Once you have created it and saved it as a PICTURE, you should be able to use it to create all kinds of projects for your new prodution company.  HAVE FUN!

Step By Step Directions

Step 1:  READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE

Step 2:  Review videos attached to get an idea of what a logo is for, the types of logo's, and why you should create one for your new production company.

Step 3:  Hand Sketch your ideas for your new logo on blank paper to give yourself some creative time to make your logo come alive on paper before trying to create it online.

Step 4:  Go to LogoGarden (See Link Above) and use the Logo Designer to create a Low-Resolution logo for your production studio.  When you have created a Low Resolution version of your logo, download it, and Upload it to your Google Drive for future use.

Step 5:  Go to DesignEVO (See Link Above) and use the Logo Designer to create a Medium-Resolution logo for your studio, with the same overall design theme.

Step 6:  Go to YouiDraw.com online and create a High Resolution version of your logo with the same design theme.  

Step 7: Make sure to Upload ALL your logo's to your Google Drive and SHARE them with Mr. S (harvey.scribner@techfreire.org) for credit.

YOU MUST CREATE A NEW FOLDER IN YOUR GOOGLE DRIVE, NAME IT "(LAST NAME) LOGOS", ADD ALL THREE (3) OF YOUR LOGOS, AND SHARE IT WITH MR. SCRIBNER (harvey.scribner@techfreire.org) FOR CREDIT!

090821: Executive Functions / Multiple Intelligences

This week you will be learning about How You LEARN, How You LEAD, and How You FOLLOW Directions and Process Information. Each day you will be reviewing information about a series of survey's and learning tools that will help you learn about yourself. These tools will help you figure out in what areas you have strength's and what areas may need improvement. The KEY to this week is to remind yourself that all of these surveys are just "Snapshots" of you on the day you take them. You can change, grow, adapt, and be different based on your learning, skills, practice, attitude, emotions and reactions, and other variables each day. The results of this week should give you a better idea of how you learn, areas where your strengths are, and maybe even a little insight to a future career or skills you can use to be successful! Relax and take each day as a new learning experience, and above all try to have a little fun with these activities! All The Best! - Mr. S

Executive Functions

The Executive Functions are a set of processes that all have to do with managing oneself and one's resources in order to achieve a goal. It is an umbrella term for the neurologically-based skills involving mental control and self-regulation. STEP 1: Watch the Youtube Videos about Executive Functions and what you can learn about yourself by taking the survey. STEP 2: (❗️) Click on the link to the K&M Center Website and look for the box that says "What are your child's skills?" and click the link for the EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING QUIZ. Click STUDENT QUIZ and enter your First Name, Grade, Age, Gender, and Tech Freire GMail Address. When you complete the quiz (there are 40 Questions) you will see your RESULTS. Record the Numerical Score for each of the categories so you can transfer them to the worksheet we started earlier this week. Taks a minute to review the results and the definitions of the categories. The higher the number the stronger that Executive Function is for you. Remember, this is just a snapshot for today. You could take the quiz again and have different results depending on a number of variables. The lower numbers may tell you about areas you need to improve, but it is not completely accurate either. STEP 3: (❗️) Open the worksheet we created earlier this week ((❗️) DL Personal Inventory Survey Results Worksheet) Record your scores and the date in the area indicated for EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS and write 1-2 Sentences about "What Did You Learn?"

Multiple Intelligences

(Wikipedia)The theory of multiple intelligences differentiates human intelligence into specific 'modalities', rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability. Howard Gardner proposed this model in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences.

(Tophat.com) Multiple intelligences is a theory first posited by Harvard developmental psychologist Howard Gardner in 1983 that suggests human intelligence can be differentiated into eight modalities: visual-spatial, verbal-linguistic, musical-rhythmic, logical-mathematical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalistic and bodily-kinesthetic.   Multiple intelligences refers to a theory describing the different ways students learn and acquire information. These multiple intelligences range from the use of words, numbers, pictures and music, to the importance of social interactions, introspection, physical movement and being in tune with nature.

STEP 1:  Review the Multiple Intelligences Infograph Image (See Attached)



STEP 2:  Watch one, or all, of the Youtube Videos about Multiple Intelligences

STEP 3: (❗️) Click the Link to the "Multiple Intelligences - - Assessment" and take the survey.
When you are finished (Answer ALL The Questions) you will see Numerical Scores for your Multiple Intelligences.
Record your scores so you can enter them on the Document we created in class earlier this week.

LEARNING STYLES (Information & Survey)
Many people recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques. Learning styles group common ways that people learn. Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less use of the other styles. Others may find that they use different styles in different circumstances. There is no right mix. Nor are your styles fixed. You can develop ability in less dominant styles, as well as further develop styles that you already use well.

STEP 1:  Watch one, or all, of the YouTube Videos about Learning Styles

STEP 2:    Click the Link Below "What's Your Learning Style? 20 Questions" and answer all the questions.  Write down "Your Scores:"  You should get a percentage score for Auditory, Visual, and Tactile.  Read a little about the type of learner you are on the website before moving on.

STEP 3:  (❗️) GRADED - Click on the link below and MAKE A COPY of the Google Document "DL Personal Inventory Survey Results Worksheet"

STEP 4:  Add your LAST NAME and Period Number to the TITLE of the Document.

STEP 5: (❗️) GRADED  Under the section for Learning Styles enter your scores for A, V, & T.  Enter the Date you took the Survey (Today), and write a sentence about what you learned in the space provided.  Tomorrow you will use the SAME DOCUMENT to record more scores.  We will be completing all the sections of this form, either in SYNCH or ASYNCH classes this week.  This document is also one of the items you can use to meet the mandatory Pennsylvania Career Education & Work Standards for each student.  You should SHARE the Document with your counselor when you discuss future plans and careers.
