Goals of Digital Citizenship:

Becker School District strives to achieve the mission of:

  "Preparing self-directed learners to thrive in a changing global community."

This class, formerly known as Computer Applications, is a required course for all Becker High School Freshmen.  The goal of this course will be to present information about numerous technological areas including: iPads, Web 2.0 applications, Google Docs (Word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations), Movie Making, Cyber Citizenship, PowerPoint and Prezi Presentations, Blogs, Wiki’s, Skype, Google Earth and Google Maps.

Furthermore, career information may also be covered (time permitting) and will include resume and cover letter writing and interviewing. Speakers from various educational institutions, along with the Armed Services, will give presentations about different educational opportunities available to the students.

We will achieve this goal through:

1. Communication and Collaboration
Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:
  • interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media.

2. Research and Information Fluency
Students apply digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information. Students:
  • locate, organize, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, and ethically use information from a variety of sources and  media.
  • evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks.

3. Digital Citizens
Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical
behavior. Students:
  • advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology.
  • exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity.
