Project Description
Empowering students to work
effectively together, enabling them to
feel confident in their skills and
abilities, and developing presentation
skills for later projects is an important
first project in Introduction to Digital
Technology. In this project, students
complete a personality profile, use their
strengths to work together, and present
their product to the class.
Students will create a childrens book
(ages 5-10) that focuses on Internet
Safety. Each page must have some type
of title or question that describes
certain aspects of the internet.
Students researched a given Internet
Security & Safety topic and prepared a
PowerPoint to present to the class.
Emphasis was placed on adding extra
information and examples beyond the
facts to add interest to the presentation.
Students were tasked with creating a
PowerPoint presentation, booklet or
video to explain computer components
to senior citizens and make
recommendations to help the senior
citizens make computer and technology
purchasing decisions.
Students used their knowledge of
computer networks to create a network
plan for a small business owner.
Students read the scenario, generated
an equipment list and network diagram,
and prepared a written proposal and
invoice for the small business customer.
Students will develop a four-page
website using HTML Code and graphics
to create the pages.

interactive elements) in presentations to enhance understanding of findings, reasoning, and
evidence and to add interest.
Foundation Skills:
CTAE-FS-3 Communications: Learners use various communication skills in expressing and interpreting
information.
CTAE-FS-5 Information Technology Applications: Learners use multiple information technology
devices to access, organize, process, transmit, and communicate information.
Daily Assignments/Skills Prior to Project:
Students completed personality profile questionnaires to discover their personal strengths and
weaknesses.
Students were divided into groups by personality type to share their areas of strength and things
they find difficult when working with groups.
Students were placed into teams with varied personality types and shared their personality
profiles and strengths. Specific tasks were assigned to each member based upon their strengths.
The group made a Flower Power Team Flower. Each student wrote their name on a pedal with
three strengths. Together they selected three group strengths and named their team. The team
name and strengths were written on the center of the flower. The flowers were posted around the
room.
A discussion was led on group norms, maximizing strengths, and working effectively.
Elements of effective teamwork was discussed and the role of the leader explained.
Students wrote and practiced personal introductions and 30-second elevator speeches to develop
skill in introducing themselves and a topic in a presentation. The function of a PowerPoint was
discussed to prevent students from reading the slides to the class.
The problem solving process for the project was discussed with the class.
Students were given a product to begin the project and presented with the structure of the
presentation/commercial.
