Technology Goals:
Expectations:
Every day, you will need:
This class should push you to be creative, inquisitive and thoughtful. You will be exploring technology that will hopefully be fun, but also useful to you in the future. I expect that everyone participates and tries their best in every activity.
Grading:
Participation- 10%
Points will be DEDUCTED from this grade for any of the following:
Small Projects- 30%
Each day, I will ask you to complete small tasks on the computer that will increase your knowledge of basic technology skills. These projects will be completed during class time.
Large Projects- 40%
The large projects in class will be using what we learn in the small projects to collaborate and create a polished final product. These projects include, but are not limited to:
Quizzes and Tests- 20%
I hope that this class becomes more inquisitive and experimental than based around a ton of terminology. On occasion, however, the students will be asked to test what they have learned about common terms, practices and procedures.
