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

GMAIL REFLECTION EXAMPLE
To harvey.scribner@techfreire.org
Subject: GMAIL REFLECTION 09/01/22
My favorite mobile application right now is Tik Tok. It is a complete waste of time, but I like that it entertains me. I can also post some strange stuff of my own and hope people find it and like it. I would make it better by having specific stations on it that would be used by individual groups to just share content with themselves. It would be more secure and easier to reach a group of people I wanted to see my videos on specific topics. Otherwise, Tik Tok is fun!
