TF Digital Tech Literacy

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

FINAL QUESTION EXAMPLE ANSWER (Do Not Use As One Of Your Answers!)

1. GMAIL/EMAIL: Email is used in place of sending letters to
people. It is electronic mail that can
be transmitted electronically. Senders
can write a letter in different formats and then by addressing it to as many
people as required, send each recipient the same message. Recipients can send replies, and emails can
be forwarded. Everything happens in
fractions of a second. The sender can
also attach files such as documents, pictures and hyperlinks along with the
email. We have used email all year to
communicate, turn in work, and to receive classroom instructions.
