Welcome to Class!

Today, we are going to create our electronic portfolios. Our electronic portfolios are containers to add all of our assignments. Think of assignments as artifacts and evidence of what you have learned or what you know how to do.

To create your portfolio, please go to sites.google.com and create a new google site. Make sure to share your google site with lamarchesa@tfsd.org

Here are some video instructions. | [Video Instructions HERE

You may also find it helpful to view my EXAMPLE portfolio. Take a moment to read my bio on my "about me" page. I know I am excited to read your biography. No "about me" page would be complete without a picture. You can take a picture at lunch with your cell phone or add one you have access to at home. Oh, and remember that day-one form you filled out? We're going to use that today. Here are some instructions to add the day one survey artifact to your portfolio. Feel free to change the theme and make this portfolio your own.

Welcome to Class! Thank you for your patience today. We have APCS (Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles) and Programming Fundamentals during this class period if you are taking APCS 2nd period. If you are taking APCS 5th hour you are in the same class period as a very full Introduction to Information Technology Class. We may try to have some opportunities for collaboration.

I am looking forward to working with each of you and getting to know you as we learn about all things computer science. Today is pretty simple. Please take a few moments to fill out your day one survey. You can access the survey by clicking on the BIG BLUE BUTTON above. Once you have completed the survey you will receive a receipt in your email. Please hold on to that. This will be the very first artifact you place in your digital portfolio.

Once you have completed your DAY ONE survey please JOIN THE CLASS FOR APCS CLASS in the code.org portal by clicking on this link --> https://studio.code.org/join section code: CVYNVP. Jump right into the very first UNIT - Digital Information.

Welcome to class!

Please start @ the Computers and continue to work on UNIT 1
Meetings with Mrs. LaMarche will continue this week

Example Standards to practice and demonstrate:

1.2.3 Demonstrate respect for diversity by valuing individual differences and working collaboratively with people of diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, and experiences
1.3.4 Demonstrate efficiency and productivity by planning, prioritizing, and adapting work goals to manage time and resources effectively
1.3.2 Demonstrate career and life management by planning, implementing, and managing personal and professional development goals related to education, career, finances, and health

Employability skills, often referred to as Workplace or Career Readiness skills, have for many years been a recognizable component of standards and curriculum in all career and technical education (CTE) programs. The Workplace Readiness Standards are designed to ensure students graduate from high school properly prepared with skills employers prioritize as the most important. The standards provide a means through which students may acquire and exhibit leadership qualities, as leadership development principles are embedded in most, if not all, of the standards.
