Description
** This is a YEAR long Computer Applications class – 2 semesters. Both semesters must be completed to receive credit for the class **
It is no longer enough for students to just know how to use a word processor, spreadsheet and create slideshows. There are a vast number of tools now being used regularly at college and in the work place that students should be comfortable using. This course in digital literacy will start with the basics but will also cover Notion, Google Drive and other Google tools, graphics and movie creation, project management tools, and many other software applications. It will also include AI tools and how to use them effectively (this will include how NOT to use them).
Students will also learn to work collaboratively with other students in an online environment – something which is becoming more and more common in the workplace. And they will learn how to conduct effective searches, spot online scams, evaluate online sources and more.
Goals/Objectives : An introduction to a wide variety of computer applications so that students are well-equipped for college and the business world.
