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

090222: PowerSchool / Google Drive / Supplemental Resources

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.  When you are done, spend time signing up for some of the websites below to work on when you have finished your assigned tasks each day, or just for fun!

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.



SUPPLEMENTAL RESOURCE WEBSITES
MATH / ELA / LANGUAGES / READING & MORE
In an attempt to help ALL of our students, I want to make sure you know about, and use, the following resources. You will spend some time setting up an account on all of these sites today. Click the NAMES of the websites and use your Google Account (Look for a Button that says Sign In/Up With Google) to create a student account. 

You DO NOT have to complete work on these sites, but I want you to be aware of the different resources, outside of school, that can help you with your Core Subjects. If you do not do anything else, learn to type! There are resources below for reading, writing, comprehension, languages, general knowledge, and specific coursework to help you along your scholarly journey here at Tech Freire. Email me if you have any trouble creating accounts. Have a Great Day!
