About the event
During our Tech Tuesdays students will be working on typing skills, learning how to use google classroom, and creating an online portfolio on our student blog. This will include an introduction to graphic design. Students will be working together to write a monthly newsletter. They will be assigned a different role each month to give them experience with different styles of writing and editing.
Tech Tuesdays are part of our Tricky Tuesday cohort. Students are encouraged to join us for the full Tuesday cohort, but it is not required. You can learn more about the full Tricky Tuesday cohort here.
Goals will be different depending on which track your student is in. (Elementary, Middle School or High School Track.) Students do not need to have any experience to participate. Students will have access to laptops and tablets during Tech Tuesdays, all the devices we teach from are Apple devices. Students are welcome to bring their own devices to work on but they are not required.
Elementary students will learn how to use Pages (Apple word processing and layout design)
Middle School students will learn how to create a newsletter on MailChimp and how to blog via WordPress.
High School students will learn the same programs as the other tracks plus basics of graphic design in Adobe.
Our goal for Tech Tuesdays is to help students have fun learning how to use technology to share what they are learning. Students will learn how to use these programs while creating a monthly newletter. They will be able to share about things that they have enjoyed learning about.
This cohort is a full school year commitment. We will meet from 10:00am-noon about every other Tuesday
