Digital
Communications-
Level II Digital Communication Tools includes three skill development areas: technology (including keyboarding), learning (study) and career investigating. In the Technology segment, students develop touch keyboarding skills with emphasis on entering alphabetic, numeric, and symbol information on a computer keyboard. Exposure to new input technologies such as voice recognition, tablet PCs, PDAs and handwriting recognition programs will also be introduced. Lastly, students will format simple documents such as personal notes, letters, resumes and short reports by using a variety of Microsoft 2003 software programs. In the Study Skills segment, students learn skills associated with acquiring, recording, organizing, synthesizing, remembering and using information and ideas. Students learn and practice skills necessary to learn how to study and be responsible for their learning. These include learning styles, goals, time management, listening, remembering, test taking, note taking and critical thinking. This session consists of brief informational talks, numerous hands-on activities relating skills to other classes, and technically-assisted activities such as video, audio, computer tutorial and simulation. In the Career Investigation segment, students look at their interests, skills, personality, and attributes and use what they discover to make a viable career decision. Students will learn to use the school’s computers, the Internet and media facility to research information on a career. Students will also learn how to consider and modify their career plans as needed. In addition, students prepare for some of the demands that the world of work will place upon them, such as completing an application, creating a resume, interviewing for a job, getting along with employers and co-workers, having and keeping a job, decision making and coping with peer pressure. Upon completion of this course, students will use their learning and technology skills to prepare a portfolio containing the results of their career investigation and other materials completed during the semester. |
