Voyager Academy

We always thought our 6th graders were strange, but did we know they were all Aliens?

For this unit, I teamed up with Ms. Adams to plan our three year Career Unit. The sixth graders are participating in an Alien project. The goal is to use technology to research, create, and display information about their personal learning style. They have 8 Aliens to choose from and they must come up with a product that describes their Alien, represents how they learn best, and lists possible careers.

So far, Ms. Adams and I are really pleased with the preparation and effort we have seen.

Keep up the good work, Aliens!

Check out this web site to get more information on these 8 Aliens.

File Management Students will learn to efficiently create, locate, name, and organize folders and files. This seems like an insignificant project, but it's important for students to learn the most efficient way to manage their files and folders. As they start using computers more often and for a wider variety of tasks they will benefit from efficiency.

Spread Sheets

In the coming weeks students will learn about using spread sheets. They will learn basic spread sheet vocabulary and learn how to plug in and manipulate numbers, make graphs, and present data.
