Computer Applications
Welcome to the Computer Apps ! I am looking forward to working with each of you this semester. This class is designed to incorporate a variety of different software while enhancing thier computer literacy and build projects that visually communicate ideals effectively.There is something for everyone! Students will aquire in-depth knowledge of how to use a combination of software and apps like: Microsoft Suite (Word, PowerPoint & Excel), iMovie and online apps to represent information, data and targeted ideas. The students also enhance their communication skills by integrating advanced layout tools in a variety of software when they create brochures, posters and visual presentations. In addition, the projects will include opportunities for students to enhance their research and writing skills . Career Cruising, an interactive career exploration application, is introduced to the students. Using this software students will have an opportunity to research specific careers and colleges that interest them. Internet safety and cyberbullying will be investigated and students will produce a podcast using Movie and sound applications.
I DO NOT offer EXTRA CREDIT in this class. If your child does the work I assign on time and participates in class, he/she will not need to have extra credit. Grades are based on the portfolio of projects that your child creates throughout the class. Points are assigned for each assignment, quiz, project, and worksheet. Weight of grades is provided in the syllabus.
If your child needs extra help or wishes to work on his/her project outside of class I am available after school through pre-arrainged appointments. II rarely send homework due to the nature of the class and, because of this, I provide the students with ample time to complete their projects in class, if they use their time wisely.
If you have any questions or concerns throughout the semester please do not hesitate to contact me. The best method is via email at hkunselman@d92.org.
