In computers, our class is currently working on weebly . We are learning how to create a weebly website and edit it. Students in computers are assigned to create a portfolio on our weebly site and write a reflection with a picture in each class or period.We also are working on Ignition, a website created for people to learn digital citizenship. In order for us to be successful students, we had to study and observe various activities about computers and take a quiz afterwords to test our knowledge and focusing skills. Our class is also working on Advanced Google Searching to improve searching to make it easier.
In computer class, we learned the importance of learning how to use a computer . We also learned of the different jobs available, if we were to become a computer specialist or programmer. There are many computer jobs . Some examples are : a naturalist, a robot technician, a biomechanics or biomechanics engineer , seismologist, a geneticist and a technical writer. There are also computer programers who: control robots ,make three dimensional video games, and create social media . If you have knowledge of the use of computers , you have a higher chance of getting a career.
During third quarter , our class continues working on our digital portfolios on weebly and typing. Our class has to work on the second and third part of our portfolio since we finished the first. Basically, this is a continuation of the first assignment. Our assignment was to write a reflection about every class with a picture too support the topic. As for the typing, we seventh graders have to type at least twenty words this quarter in order to get a decent grade. That is all computer class is currently doing ,so far.
To enhance our Renaissance posters in core, my computer class worked on fixing our posters during fourth quarter. Each student had to pick a specific person from the Renaissance and write five biographical facts and five contributions for a specific person. We had to be creative in making the poster and have the correct information to get a decent grade. The person I chose to write about was Martin Luther, a German monk who lived during the Renaissance. The reason I chose him was because of his dedicated spirit and his stubbornness to never give up even if it meant death . Although my candidate was not first in the ranking (he lost to the Renaissance Man, Leonardo di Vinci and four others) he is still considered as an important figure in the Renaissance based on his contributions (he came in fifth place). The posters were a good way to show what our class learned in core (history) and computers (electronic skills) in a creative and educational way.
