Digital Applications
Mr. Nunes
The Middle School Digital Applications course introduces middle school students to essential technology skills using Canva, Google Applications, Coding, and business tools in an authentic interactive way. Students will learn to create engaging digital designs with Canva, collaborate with peers using Google Applications and explore the basics of coding through beginner-friendly platforms. Students will also gain an understanding of business applications, such as organizing tasks with project management tools, designing simple marketing materials and properly utilizing communication tools through learning management systems and email etiquette. Through hands-on activities and culminating final projects, students will develop creativity, problem-solving, and digital literacy skills to prepare them for future academic and career success.
