Communicating
- Throughout this course, I predict that our class will practice communicating by collaborating with other members of our class both in person on-site, and via technology (such as Microsoft Teams) offline. In order to successfully use these methods of communication, I predict that we will learn how to use online communication tools in class.
Collaborating
- Throughout this course, I predict that our class will practice collaborating in numerous different ways. We could bounce ideas off of each other, get feedback and advice on things that could be improved on our work, and so many more. We should also help those who need help and ask others when we need help in accomplishing something.
Creative Thinking
- Throughout this course, I predict that our class will practice creative thinking by using online tools and software to make your ideas a reality. These creative ideas will be used to elevate your project and make it unique and personal to yourself.
Critical Thinking and Reflective Thinking
- We can practice critical thinking in various ways. One way we could practice critical thinking is by thinking in detail about the assignments you receive and taking experience from past assignments before applying it to the current assignment. We could also build off of other’s ideas and combine it with thoughts and ideas of our own during group projects. I predict that critical thinking will become incredibly important when we start programming, as programming is very logical and requires careful analysis of previous code, especially during debugging.
Personal Awareness and Responsibility
- Throughout this course, I predict that our class will practice personal awareness and responsibility by building good work habits and managing our work efficiently. One way we could do this is by dividing projects into multiple steps, making it more manageable instead of having one big end goal.
Positive Personal and Cultural Identity
- One way we could practice positive personal and cultural identities is by respecting other’s thoughts. We should always take other’s thoughts into consideration and never shut them down just because you don’t like it. We should try and look at the idea from their perspective, and see where its coming from, and you never know, maybe it’s the one idea that has the potential to elevate your project to something you never thought of before.
Social Awareness and Responsibility
- We should always practice social awareness and responsibility. Your actions on the internet have consequences, and you should be aware of those. Always be careful about what you say online and think about it before you post.
