Course Description
Careers is an exploratory course designed to help students learn the tools necessary to help them explore and
prepare for future career opportunities. The majority of the course will be spent using the material from the

Online Learning

learn basic technology skills using a variety of web tools under the direction of an instructor. Most lessons, or
things, include a how to video, hands-on activities, ties to the NETS-S and curriculum standards, and an
overview of how a Web 2.0 tool can be used. Participants will demonstrate proficiency in each of the 21things by
creating end-products, or a Digital Portfolio.

Everything used in the 21things4students is FREE and can be completed on a PC or Mac. Students will use a
computing device with Internet Access in the classroom to complete the modules.
