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

110821: Evaluating Websites

"If you're looking for information, the Internet has a lot of it. The problem is, you can't trust every website you find. You'll need to evaluate each website to decide whether it's reliable." - GCF Global (.org) Digital Media Literacy

Today you will spend time learning about verifying information, and websites online in class. We will take and reference a Pre-Assessment on the lesson worksheet. 

We will work through most of the information in class using the presentation listed below. You will have the chance to discuss parts of the lesson together in groups. 

Once we complete the discussion, view the videos in the presentation, and wrap-up the SYNCH portion of the class, you will be instructed on how to complete the worksheet.
