FLORIDA ASSOCIATION FOR CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION

Technology Basics is a 3 week, 24 point online course that covers computer fundamentals, along with some fun technologies to use with students! The course includes: Internet skills, key software applications, computer hardware, technology standards, digital literacy and some fun technologies. Week 1 includes a fun game intro, a look at the National Education Technology Standards (NETS) for teachers, and a review of computer fundamentals. The second week covers digital citizenship and Internet skills, including protection from scams, hoaxes, myths, digital footprint awareness and the “Be Internet Awesome” program/game to use with students. In week 3, we get into basic computer maintenance tasks, and an overview of productivity suites and some of our favorite resources for templates that are attractive and professional. While this is a basics course, we wrap up with an Inspiration section of some of the latest ed tech to spark imagination and inspire students.
