Careers and Technology
Mrs. Cullen
What is this class about?
Students are introduced to career opportunities available as described in the 16 Career Clusters and explore their career interests by creating their own animation of a career while learning about time management, organization and problem solving. Next, students explore their digital life and how their footprint will leave a lasting impression. Students will also become “Mythbusters” by creating and editing digital images to bust a science myth. Lastly, students will work collaboratively to design their own Mobile App!
