Course Description
Students will explore emerging technologies as it applies to their success for high school, college, and career. The focus will be on the importance of digital citizenship, professional communication practices, advanced document processing, professional presentations, and intermediate spreadsheet and database applications used personally and professionally.
Assignments
Assignments are to be submitted into Canvas by the next class period. If an assignment is not completed on time, you are allowed to submit the assignment late, which will affect the citizenship portion of your grade. It should be noted that the class will move forward regardless of individual completion of course work. Should any unforeseen circumstances affect your ability to meet a deadline, please contact the instructor to clarify and make the appropriate arrangements.
Grading System
Grades will be weighted based on the following criteria.
Test/Projects = 50%
Classwork = 40%

Make Up Work
If you are absent, YOU are responsible to get the missed assignment(s). Assignments will be posted on Canvas. One day extra make up time is allowed for the day missed. For example, if you miss class on Monday, the work assigned that day will be due on Wednesday. If you miss class on Monday and Tuesday, the work assigned for Monday will be due Thursday and the work assigned for Tuesday will be due Friday.
