Welcome:
Greetings Hastings Saxons Parents and Students,
My name is William Renner and I will be your student's Success Skills for Technology or Innovation and Design teacher. These are two very different courses.
Success Skills for Technology is designed to ensure that students have the basic skills and knowledge needed to navigate technology safely.
Where as, Innovation and Design was created to introduce students to Design Process and work on skills that will allow them to succeed not only in their other classes here at Hastings Area Schools, but in future studies and/or jobs as well.
Standards:
In this class, we will be using the Michigan Integrated Technology Competencies for Students (MITECS) also known as the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards.
Recording in class
As part of this class, students may be asked to take photos or create audio or video recordings of their work. We encourage creativity and media creation as a way for students to document and showcase their projects and learning. However, students should avoid taking photos or making recordings that include other students unless they have permission.
Classroom equipment:
Innovation and Design Students will have access to the following equipment.
It is important that students work hard to take proper care of the equipment provided. For this reason students are not allowed to bring any food or drink to their computer station and are encouraged to wash their hands regularly before coming to class. Students who choose bring food to class or behave in a way that endangers class equipment will loose their computer privileges.
Needed equipment:
Hastings Middle School will provide all equipment and materials required for the course. In some cases, students may choose to use or add their own resources to enhance a project, which is allowed with teacher approval.
