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

Overview
Today you will be learning some of the basic decisions that go into Starting a Business.  We will introduce ourselves and review the Class Norms and Objectives.  Then we will be assigned Roles and Assignments that will include Sales, Marketing, and Production.  

Each Department (3 students each) will have a specific decision to make using data and information given to them in their Department Packets.  You will collaborate with other students to arrive at a decision to present during our Board Meeting time.  Please utilize your time wisely, and work together peacefully.  

The EXECUTIVE (President) will be circulating in the room and monitoring the different departments as they work.  That person will encourage others to complete the work, and make notes about the process and communication of the departments.

During our Board Meeting, each Department will report out about their decisions, and the Executive will share their notes.  We will then vote on the decisions made and wrap-up our lesson.  Complete the Reflection Note Card to turn in as you leave.

Good Luck and Enjoy Our Time Together!  - Mr. S
