Intro:
Hello, my name is Shay. I’m going to be showing you my 21 things website and what I had to do throughout the whole thing. 21 things is a website that has you go through a bunch of different missions and while you do them you learn how to use your computer more efficiently. We created our websites using the website creator called Weebly.
1: The first thing that we did was Basic Orientation. In this mission it was basically just introducing you to 21 things. We got our tracking document which tracks which missions that you have completed, we set goals for ourselves, and we learned what you can and can't do on the internet.
2: Our second mission that we did was called Cloud Management. I learned what a cloud was and we set up some of our own clouds on a couple different websites.
3: In the 3rd mission we learned about Digital Footprints. We did a little activity where we tracked how much time we spend on our media devices. We also made our own little digital footprint.
4: Mission four was pretty much doing exactly what the title says. We made Visual Organizers for a few situations that the 21 things website gave us.
5: The fifth mission that we did was called Suite Tools. In this mission we learned about Google Docs and how to use it. We also learned how to use a spreadsheet and we learned how to make them more exciting such as changing the colors!
6: This mission was about Cyber Safety. We learned about the Online Bill of Rights, which is a list of a few things you should always keep in mind while you are online. We learned how to protect yourself and what you should keep safe while you are online.
7: In our 7th mission we learned about pirating. We learned what was legal to do online and what wasn't. We answered a few questions about things that are legal online, we wrote a paragraph about a time when we did something illegal online and we also drew an online picture that involved pirating.
8: Search Strategies was our 8th mission. It was about evaluating websites and seeing if they are credible or not. We evaluated a couple websites to try it out.
9: Mission 9 was about Social Networking. We learned about profile security. We made our own surveys about social networks and had 10 people do them. Then we wrote a short summary about our survey results.
10: The 10th mission was called interactives. It dealt with interactive ways to be educational online. We made maps, flashcards, and played games online.
11: The 11th mission called Digital Images was where we had to figure out what pictures were, by looking up the hints given to us, on the internet. We learned how to figure things out using our resources.
12: Career Prep was our 12th mission. We had to plan out our future. We played Show me the Future which was a game that planned out your life when you chose. We also used Career Cruising to show what careers we might be good in.
13: The last mission we did was called Video Creation. We made a video telling other people that are coming into this class what they should be expecting and what they will learn. When we did this we learned how to made a video and be creative with it.
Even though this website is kind of an online class, its easy to do if you keep up. From doing this class, I learned that I am more of a hands on learner. I work better when I am doing things. I think I was successful in this class. This class will help me in the future because some college classes are online and this gave me a little look on what that might be like.
I hope that this showed you what you will be doing in Computers 8. Thanks for watching!

Self Reflection
Dear Mrs. Rubin,
I think that I learned a decent amount from this class and I think I did very good in this class. I liked that we didn't have to take tests or quizzes in this class because sometimes people don't do good on tests, but they do good on all their other work. If I had to give myself a grade in this class it would be an A- because I think I tried hard and did all my work.
In this class I learned lots of different tools. I will use the screenshot tool a lot because it lets me take pictures of my screen. I will probably never use bubbl.us or dropbox ever. We used them a little in class, but I wouldn’t use them on my own.
My favorite “thing” was Video Creation. It was fun that we got to make our own videos and it let us be creative! My least favorite “thing” was Suite Tools. I just thought it was boring because it involved lots of typing and not doing any fun things.
This class will help me in the future because it was a little like an online class and sometimes you have online classes in college. This helped me prepare for what an online class in college might be like. To make this class a little bit better next year, I think you should do more fun missions that involve fun activities.
