Required Classroom Materials:
This course gives you, the teacher, the option to use whatever software you please, whether it is adobe or free online platforms. Throughout each unit, I have attached online resources (tutorials and websites) to help you and your students learn each type of software, that works best for your classroom.
Materials Needed- This course was created to adapt to all different types of classroom hardware and software. In order for you to use this course you do need to have one of the following hardware:
Computers
Tablets
Smart Phones
Important: Classes are 82 minutes long, so depending on how long your classes are and the pace that your students can learn will change how many days it will take your class to get through this full-year course. I recommend throwing in catch-up days or reward days throughout the semester.
How my classroom works:
In my classroom, we use Google Drive and Classroom to store and turn in assignments. When students work on their assignments and projects, they can use Microsoft Word or Google Docs. The same rule applies to presentations, they can use PowerPoint or Google Slides. It is up to you, as the teacher, to decide how you will have your students receive and turn in their assignments, projects, etc.
