Identify personal skills, interests and abilities and relate them to current career choice.


Digital Portrait is a project that has the credit front loaded. They do the background reading first. Then they look at the options for creating the project. I give them the sketch document for them to use to create a script. I also give them the sample script that I created for myself. Basically I give them credit for doing the sketch and if they get the entire project completed they get bonus credit.

Student Website Creation

Student Websites are a definite plus whether looking for a job or filling out scholarship applications. Since this is new territory we are developing topics kids need to be aware of to stay safe on the internet.
When using www.Weebly.com teach kids how to
  1. How to Make their sites not searchable if they are using it just for the class and don't want to show up in a google search.
  2. How to Archive sites so quality work can be backed up or moved.
  3. How to Keep personal information personal so employment and CCFE documents are stripped of personal information and presented in a more general format for the web with a note at the bottom stating that unabridged versions are available on request.
  4. How to control blog settings.
  5. How to Unpublish a site.
