Final Exam Video:)
Script!
Hi! My name is Lauryn. I was involved in Mrs. Rubins, 8th grade, computers class and
i enjoyed it a lot. We did a lot of hands-on skills. This class is a self
motivating class. You and your class will work through the
21things4students.net. You will have to complete quests and put them on your
very own website. You will make your own website on another website called
http://www.weebly.com. My website is called, http://www.lauryns21things.weebly.com.
I have completed 13 quests.
The first quest that i completed was called, Basic Orientation. In Basic Orientation
we had to take a screenshot of the “recruit island”, make a goal setting file,
make a tracking document, concept of the A.U.P, wacky short cuts, A.E.S results,
interview people about electronic history, and take a basic quiz.
My second quest was called, Cloud Management. In this quest we made a delicious
site, a drop box, and we took a cloud management quiz! In this quest I learned
how to store my stuff in a “cloud.
”My third quest was, Digital Footprint. Everything you do that involved media usages
with never go away. You will end up making a “trail” of everything you do, so
make sure what you’re doing is a good choice and it is safe. In this quest we
made a “digital footprint” on a website called, bubbl.us. I then organized my
main media usages on a bubble diagram.
My fourth quest was called, Visual Organizer. In this quest we learned how to
organize data in many different ways. One way that we did was using the bubble
graph. Make sure when you are doing a project or just doing something for class
that you are organized.
I also did a quest called Suite Tools. We made a google acount and learned how to
work Google Drive. We also learned how to upload, print, download, and share
from Google Drive. We then did a spread sheet mission, which again is
organizing.
Another quest i did was called, Cyber Safety. In this quest we learned a bunch of rules
and tips on how to be safe while on the cyber world. We talked about the
“Digital Bill of Rights” which includes 10 steps. We then went to a website
called Gloster and made a virtual poster about cyber bullying and how to stay
safe on the web.
My seventh quest was called, Be Legal and Fair. In this quest we learned about
Copyright. We also went back onto Glogster and and made a digital poster about
this too. My poster was about stopping the Virtual Pirates.
My eighth quest was called, Search Strategies. In this quest we learned what a
website, blog, wiki, and database are. We then learned how to evaluate a website
by using the CARRDSS strategy.
My ninth quest was called, Social Navigation. We first went to Glogster,com and
made another online poster. Mine was about, “Online VS Face to Face”
communication. We then made our own blogs, and made a survey. The survey was
about your social networking page, Facebook, Twitter, ect.
Another quest we did was called, Interactives. We made a map on how to get from our
houses to the school using Google Maps. After that we went on a website called
Quizlets. On Quizlets we made 10 flashcards of spelling words.
We also did a quest called, Digital Images. In this quest we made ourselves a badge
and our own characters. We then took our characters and put them on pictures of
different parts of the world.
Almost done! Career Prep was our eleventh quest. In this quest we played the game of
life and had to pick a job. You also had to manage your money and spend it on
necessary things that you need. At the end of the game you could see how much
money you had left, It was like real life.
Last but not least, Video Creation. In this quest we went to Wevideo.com and made a
video with a partner. Our video was about what we learned and what we did
throughout this class.
I liked this online class a lot and I would deffinetly take another one. I figured out that I'm the kind of learner that is self motivated. I was pretty sucsessful through this whole class. One tip I could give you, would to be patient! This class tought me how to work by myself and it also tought me how to work computers better.
Throughout this class you will learn a lot more than you could ever imagine. Thanks for
watching! I hope you enjoy computers 8!

Written Reflection.
Dear
Mrs. Rubin,
My favorite part about this class was the very last quest, Video Creation. I liked
it because you could work with a partner and it was very hands on. You could
work with other material besides you computer. If you wanted you could use you
phone or tablet. My least favorite part was Be Legal and Fair because it was
quite boring and you didn’t really do anything. I will continue to use a lot of
tools that i learned in this class. I will use screenshotting, cyber safety, and
all the little short cuts that i’ve learned. The tools that i won’t use would be
going to those websites and organizing data. I love that we don’t do any quizzes/test. It is so much easier! I love doing hands on activities. If I could give myself a grade in this class, it would probably
be what you gave me because sometimes I can be lazy and i don’t deserve a good
grade. Other times i work really hard and I deserve a good grade! I don’t think
anything different in the future, this class should stay the way it is. I really
liked that in this class is self motivating. This class will help me in the
future because, it taught me patients, how to work a computer better, and it
taught me how to work by myself!
Sincerely,
Lauryn Schneider
