A Quick Glance at Digital Literacy:
Digital Literacy is designed to prepare students to learn and excel in the digital world. We carry the theme of "Digital Hygiene" throughout the class to cover issues such as protecting our personal data, securing our devices/networks, and preventing online threats. We also learn about copyright laws, cyberbullying, and digital footprints. Most of this content is provided within the context of learning the skills related to digital communication (email, calendar, evaluating web pages), word processing (professional-style letters, tables, formatting), presentation software, spreadsheets, and databases. In addition, we learn a bit about the hardware and software of a computer, a little basic programming, the creation and use of digital media, and of course, keyboarding.
A Quick Glance at Exploring Computer Science:
Exploring Computer Science is designed to introduce students to the breadth of the field of computer science through an exploration of engaging and accessible topics. The course focuses on the conceptual ideas of computing and helps students understand why certain tools or languages might be utilized to solve particular problems. The goal of Exploring Computer Science is to develop in students the computational thinking practices of algorithm development, problem solving, and programming within the context of problems that are relevant to the lives of today’s students. Students will also be introduced to topics such as artificial intelligence, web development, programming, and physical computing.
