Course Synopsis

Media Literacy is a eighth grade class that focuses on the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS) developed by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). Media Technology Concepts, Keyboarding, Programming and Digital Citizenship create a foundation of skills students will use in all future educational settings. The focus on these strands can be applied by engaging the students in a variety of classroom work involving software exercises/practice, discussions/lectures, and problem based  activities meant to give students a solid background for middle school.
