Students will learn how to produce their own sounds to add to their video projects. This technique is called Foley Art. There are several excellent videos that can be shown during class or assigned as a flipped assignment. Either way, these videos should draw great discussion during class on how to capture homemade produced sounds. Some of the videos I use come from YouTube and are titled "The Magic of Making Sound," "This Artist Creates Sounds for Movies," "How the Sound Effects in 'A Quiet Place' Were Made," "Foley Artists: How Movie Sound effects are Made," and "The Hunger Games & Frozen Foley Artists Turn the Sound of Junk into Miracles--Art of Sound Ep. 3." Simply do a search for Foley Art. After the discussion, students will then select a movie trailer, convert the trailer into a file format that works with their video editing software. Once the file is uploaded into their software, students will remove/detach the audio and begin brainstorming appropriate sound effects and how these can be made for the video. Students should compile a list of at least 10 sound effects. After all students have their lists, divided the students into groups. I find that it is necessary to have more than one person in order to effectively produce the sounds. Once students are in their groups, combine their lists, and come up with 10 sounds they think they can personally produce. Students will need to brainstorm props that can be used to produce their sounds. Once the sounds have been created, each student will then add, trim, and edit the sounds and add to the movie trailer.

After the last day of editing, the students will come back together with their group and show their video to the class. Students should explain how sounds were created.

Developed by the NYCDOE CS education team, the Introduction to Physical Computing course is a 54-hour long introductory computer science course that guides students to explore fundamental CS concepts through tinkering with the micro:bit, a simple programmable computer device. Each unit of the course guides students through the learning process with three practices: analyzing computer applications around them based on a given issue; prototyping a project that reflects the result of the analysis plus their interest; and communicating about their projects, including the functionality of a project, a project development process, influence from other projects and their contribution to a project when working in a group. The curriculum and support sessions assist educators in discovering the most effective way of facilitating this course for their own classroom, while helping them to become comfortable with the main tool, the micro:bit.

Do you want to learn the basics of how to use Microsoft word? This web site offers easy to understand video lessons. In addition to the audio lessons, the site offers supplement materials.

Students will start their Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) year with activities that apply important career readiness skills, including teamwork, communication, leadership, creativity, and utilization of technology.  They will also begin to understand the connection between what they are learning in the classroom and their future career path through one (or more) CTSOs.

This series of lessons will teach all of the key features in Tinkercad, a free, web-based 3D design platform. When you have finished the lessons you will have a comprehensive knowledge of how to design/draw in 3D. After that all you need is practice to improve your skills.

One of the most common things I did during my work experience was making labels for a variety of reasons - mailing labels, shipping labels, name tags/badges, file folder labels, etc. In this lesson, students complete a mail merge with the teacher, then use addresses of family and friends to create labels that they could put on their graduation announcements.

Acquire essential skills for producing professional work with the Microsoft Office suite including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and more.

Students will learn the importance of precise programming language versus human language. This will lead into the use of algorithms to carry out a set of instructions. The lesson includes a brief intro/discussion; an activity that uses building blocks (LEGOS), partnering, and closing discussion.

The goal of this lesson is for students to learn about the problem-solving process and parts of that process. It is a vital part of computational thinking. They will look at problems they have solved already, solve a problem together in class and also look at a real-life problem and apply the problem-solving process to it. 

This Remote Learning Plan was created by Alexandra Bastian in collaboration with Andrew Easton as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for Introduction to Business Technology students in Grade Levels 6 through 12. Students will learn the different components (Receiver's email/Cc/Bcc/Subject/Body/etc.) of an email and how to compose a professional email to someone. Students will explore the different Gmail features (Attachments/contrast of background/text colors, text size/font/etc.) used to compose and format a professional email. Students will understand the guidelines for continuing email conversations. Students will learn what information shouldn't be sent via email, how to send an attachment, and the uses of carbon copy (Cc), and blind carbon copy (Bcc).
