Legends of Learning
Unit 1: Keyboarding - We use typing.com for our keyboarding program. The emhpasis is placed on accuracy rather than speed with the hopes of getting students to use proper format and technique. Keyboarding games/challenges are available on the Computers & Technology page of the Kid Zone. Unit 2: Hour of Code - We use this website to challenge students to learn coding. Many of the projects use Scratch with the students developing their own programs to challenge their classmates. Unit 3: Google Basics - Students will learn how to create a Google Doc and use the tools available to meet a set of criteria (page margins, text formatting, images, etc.). The assessment product will be a one-page document about their favorite things. Unit 4: Google Advanced
- Students will create a Google Slides presentation
related to a set of criteria (# of slides, # of images, required
information, etc.). The product will be developed around
their plans for a road trip to their favorite places. Students will work in teams of 3-4 to plan their
trip and use other Google products, such as organizing their
presentation files in Google Drive and Google Maps will be used
to determine the total distance traveled along with estimated
time. Unit 5: Online Safety + Pick-A-Project - Students will explore online safety with a focus on helping them recognize potential threats and issues.Students will be challenged to create a final product of their choice using a variety of online apps, such as comics, animated books, posters/infographics, animated videos, or their own video creations to educate their peers on cybersafety.
