United Nations Sustainable Goals - US City Collaborative Google Map Project

Today you will begin working on a US CITY COLLABORATIVE GOOGLE MAP PROJECT.  This project will allow each one of you to research an assigned city, review the UN Global Sustainable Goals (UNGSG), and find out about how people, organizations, and groups are banding together to help everyone reach these goals throughout the United States of America.  Please follow the directions below to identify the city you have been assigned, creatve a Google Document that outlines how each of the UNGSG's are being worked on in that city, and where people can find out more information about these issues.  You will SHARE the active link for your document so it can be added to an interactive Google Map.  To complete the project, you must write a 2-3 paragraph essay on specific things you learned, and how you feel about our progress toward these goals.

Step 1:  Read the description of the UN Global Sustainable Goals Below:
On 1 January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development — adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at an historic UN Summit — officially came into force.  Over the next fifteen years, with these new Goals that universally apply to all, countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind.
The SDGs, also known as Global Goals, build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and aim to go further to end all forms of poverty. The new Goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and addresses a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.
While the SDGs are not legally binding, governments are expected to take ownership and establish national frameworks for the achievement of the 17 Goals.  Countries have the primary responsibility for follow-up and review of the progress made in implementing the Goals, which will require quality, accessible and timely data collection. Regional follow-up and review will be based on national-level analyses and contribute to follow-up and review at the global level.


Step 2:  Create a Google Document to start outlining each goal for the city you have been assigned:

Here is the link to the City Assignments:

TOP 200 Cities (Population) WebPage: http://www.citymayors.com/gratis/uscities_200.html
Step 3.  Make An Entry On Your Google Document (See Example) For Each Goal

Step 4:  Research an Example of a person, group, or organization working on each goal in the city you were assigned.  Make sure to include all information required for each entry.

Step 5.  Complete your research, and make sure you have included all information for each goal on your document.

Step 6.  Add a 2-3 paragraph explanation of "What You Learned" at the bottom of your document.  Make sure to add your favorite, or most interesting goal and what you found!

Step 7: Include a City WEB Map using DRAW.IO on your document (See Details Below)

Step 8:  SHARE the active link to your document with Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.

Good Luck!

-Mr. S

City Web Map DRAW.IO Requirements: You will create a web for a city in the United States. You will be responsible for creating an identical web to the one described. Please include the following data:

Career Exploration Activity (CCS-515 Career Day 2018)

Please complete the Career Day Reflection Sheet for CSA Class!  This worksheet should be added to your Google Drive (File, Make a Copy).  SHARE it with Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.

Here is the link to the document:


During Career Day, please complete the following activity while you are in the Technology Lab:

Change the Equation, in partnership with E-Line Media, has created iON Future— a suite of free online learning games that encourage middle school to early high school-age youth to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).  Unlike many efforts to get kids excited about STEM, these games connect directly to their passions, abilities, and sense of identity, exposing them to the breadth and variety of STEM-based professions and allowing them to explore the potential pathways to these interesting careers.


Today you will be completing a 10-15 minute activity about STEM Career Exploration.  You will create a log-in on IONFUTURE.ORG and spend time navigating through some of the activities on that website.  There are many more resources on this site than we can cover today, and you are welcome to spend more time on this site anytime in the future.  As usual, please share this site and the activities on it with someone at home as a follow-up assignment to today's activities.


Career Exploration Activity (10-15 minutes) Step-by-Step Directions

1. Go to http://ionfuture.org/ and click "Sign Up".

2. Enter a USERNAME (something appropriate that you can remember), and a PASSWORD you can remember.  We cannot recover your password!  Please DO NOT Forget It!  Enter the same password in the RETYPE PASSWORD box.

3.  Enter answers, in the drop-down selection lists, to the questions asked and click SUBMIT.

4.  Once you have logged into the site, please look under the heading PLAY GAMES, and choose "Stem Is Everywhere".  Follow the directions to play the game.  

5.  Click on the HOME link at the top, right of the screen.  READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!  Choose one of the "Passion" buttons that best describes a field you are interested in.  Click on the Skills, Education, and Salary buttons, Read the Directions, and choose the best answers.  

6.  Move the pointer (using the mouse) over the careers in the "MAYBE" box above.   You may click on any of these careers to learn more about them.  You could also learn more about the careers listed in the "BEST MATCH" box.

7.  If time allows, or on your own, click on one of the careers in the Stem Career Quest section.  This takes longer, but shows some of the skills and activities you might need to look for while pursuing any of the careers listed.  It is a great way to identify how some projects in school, or other learning, can lead to great careers.

8.  Choose one (1) of the careers that you saw described in the game.  Make sure you make note of the details of that career/job so you can answer the final question on your Career Day Response Sheet.

See the screenshot below for more details on this site.  I do not know what the points are good for, or why they total them.  If you find out, let me know!  Here is the link to the Learning Guide if you are interested in more information about this activity:

Introduction to Graphic Organizers (Draw.IO) MP4 S2 17-18

Today you will design graphic organizers on DRAW.IO. Please create a Personal Timeline and Family Tree in a digital format. You must create these from scratch using DRAW.IO.

YOU MUST CREATE A HAND-DRAWN VERSION BEFORE WORKING ON A DIGITAL VERSION ONLINE!

HAND-DRAWN VERSION:  To start, use a blank piece of paper to list your birthday, list all the schools you have attended, list any significant events in your life (birthdays, deaths, weddings, graduations, holidays, family trips, honors, awards, or any other events you can remember) and the dates they happened. 

DIGITAL VERSION: Sign In to Google. Open DRAW.IO and CONNECT it to your Google Drive. Open a New Blank Document. Begin to drag boxes into the timeline and label them in order. Once you have created your first box with a date underneath, you can now select the box, copy and paste a new one next to it, and link them with an arrow. Continue until you have listed all the events up to today's date. You need to list 15 events to complete the project.

To create your Family Tree, make a complete list of all of your parents, step-parents, aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters, grandparents, and any other family members you can think of. Now begin dragging in boxes and labeling them with each person's name and date of birth (if you know it). Now list weddings in text between married couples. Make sure to line up each place-marker with others in the same generation. Make sure you include extended family (Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters, Etc.) I would like you to do your best to include at least 3 levels of your family tree. These should include siblings, parents, aunts & uncles, grandparents, and anyone else you might know.

Strikingly Single-Page PSA Website Project - MP4 S2 17-18

Please check out Strikingly.com. It is a little hard to understand at first, but your results are going to be fantastic. If you master this tool, you will be creating stunning, professional-quality sites in no time! Have Fun With This Project!

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT SINGLE-PAGE WEBSITE ASSIGNMENT

IMPORTANT NOTE:  YOU MUST NOT INCLUDE OR DISPLAY ANY INFORMATION ABOUT YOU, THIS SCHOOL OR ANYTHING THAT COULD PROVIDE A WAY FOR PEOPLE WHO SEE THIS SITE TO CONTACT YOU!  NO TWITTER, INSTAGRAMS, EMAIL ADDRESSES. NO PERSONAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU OR COLLEGIUM IS ALLOWED ON THESE SITES FOR ANY REASON!


WHAT IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT WEBSITE?

Resources:  PSA Central (Home)      PSA IDEAS FOR TEENS     Peers Influence Peers Project


Getting Started (from Center For DIGITAL Education Website)

  1. Choose your topic. Pick a subject that is important to you, as well as one you can visualize. Keep your focus narrow and to the point. More than one idea confuses your audience, so have one main idea per PSA.
     
  2. Time for some research - you need to know your stuff! Try to get the most current and up to date facts on your topic. Statistics and references can add to a PSA. You want to be convincing and accurate.
     
  3. Consider your audience. Are you targeting parents, teens, teachers or some other social group? Consider your target audience's needs, preferences, as well as the things that might turn them off. They are the ones you want to rally to action. The action suggested by the PSA can be almost anything. It can be spelled out or implied in your PSA, just make sure that message is clear.
     
  4. Grab your audience's attention. You might use visual effects, an emotional response, humor, or surprise to catch your target audience. Be careful, however, of using scare tactics. Attention getters are needed, but they must be carefully selected. For example, when creating a PSA about controlling anger, a glass-framed picture of a family can be shattered on camera. This was dramatic, but not melodramatic. Staging a scene between two angry people to convey the same idea is more difficult to do effectively.

You must send and EMAIL to me hscribner@ccs.us that has a paragraph about the reason you chose your topic, your name, and the four (4) references that you used to find your facts.  The following format must be used:
