Welcome to Still Middle School and Essential Tech!
Essential Tech is an 18 week long class for 6th grade students. They will learn word processing, spreadsheets/graphing, programming, and some basic visual design and presentations.
Assignments will have due dates, but students can take the entire quarter to complete and turn in the work. This is because not everyone has a home computer or comparable software for students to do the work outside of school. I encourage the students to stay on top of their assignments and the grade book and grade will reflect the late or missing work.
We will be starting with an overview of file management, logins for a variety of school resources and then a visual/graphic design project.

Digital Citizenship & Coding
The students are coding their programs in Scratch! You will need to ask your child to login to their account and show you their work as the accounts are private student accounts.
