Computer Applications
Digital Citizenship
Using various apps and websites, discuss with students the importance of digital citizenship and how they should behave when using technologies present in their every day life - have students review and explain why some apps may cause concern and how to avoid problems.
Validate Websites
Using resources like "Fake/Spoof Sites", have students research websites and determine whether or not they are real - have students provide reasoning and participate in discussions so that they might gain a better idea of what constitutes as valid information across the world wide web.
Project Based Learning
Create a project focusing on a central theme in which students can use various apps and programs to complete a series of tasks; for example: students create a rock band and must also create bumper stickers, logos, business cards, CD covers and more. Doing this allows students to increase skills in various programs as well as have an exciting time while staying in control of their own projects.
