Create+a+Computer+Course

STEP 1 STEP 2
 * 1) Get in groups of 2 or 3 students. Choose your partners wisely. Each partner must do their share of the work. (3 pts)
 * 2) Create a Google Document, name it "MSHS Computer Course", list all partners, and share it with your partners and manitoutech@gmail.com. (3 pts)
 * 3) Search to see what other high schools are teaching for technology. List two different classes that each partner found. Cite the websites. And explain why you picked it. (4 pts)
 * 1) Create a course of your own (must be everyone's ideas). This course should not be what I am teaching, but new thoughts of what you want in a course.
 * If you could create a computer elective class to attend at MSHS, what would the course name be? (3 pt)
 * Write a description of what programs or internet sites would be used? (3 pts)
 * Write a description of what projects would be included? (3 pts)
 * What EL terms would be incorporated in the class or projects? Why? (4 pts)
 * Why does MSHS need your course? How would you persuade the principal that we need this course? (4 pts)

TOTAL POINTS: 27 points

Example of A Work (do not use anything from example):

Some High Schools with Technology Courses:
 * 1) http://www.wisconsinvirtualschool.org/hs_technology.asp The Wisconsin state internet courses have a lot of tech courses on line.
 * 2) http://www.wisconsinvirtualschool.org/pdfs/FrenchI_09.pdf This is an online course to learn French which is something that we could do.

Geometry 411- The course would entail that students have the basic concepts of geometry in the class room. This course would go more in-depth and use Google sketch up to show knowledge of shapes and apply math to the real world. Some projects that would be in the course would be constructing 3D shapes, triangles, cubes, and spheres, but use functions to help construct it to real world problems. Another project would be to play engineers and build graphic real world buildings. Many EL's would be incorporated in this class including communication,solving the problem, creativity, and critical thinking. It would also include information fluency, getting the correct answer and knowing the basic information. MSHS needs this course because we could offer it as another math class at the school. I would persuade it to him to offer this course to anyone interested in engineering after high school.
