Welcome to Class! Please take a few moments to tell me about yourself by filling out the form above (big blue button above). Once you have submitted your response, you will be sent a receipt with your answers via email. Please make sure you keep this receipt as you will be adding this to your Tech Portfolio. It's possible you might need to check your spam folder.
Please keep in mind in addition to your class, Mrs. LaMarche is also teaching another class. Often other student techs will be working on projects to help inprove our school, Esports, programming, web development, computer networking, repair and support -- along with everything in between. Think of your time in INTRO as a baby step to more hands on learning.. We will need to work together.
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? Please ask if you have questions. You might consider asking the person next to you if you have a question or you can always use the JUST ASK BUTTON. By using the "Just ask Button" you help add to the data base of questions. There is always an answer... Use your resources. Use your tools. The thing I LOVE MOST about tech is the constant upgrades, updates, and changes. To love tech is to love change!! To love tech is to "Not know EVERYTHING" but know there are a lot of right solutions and a lot of right ways of getting a tech job done.
Why do you think tech companies look for certifications on job applications? Why might you want to include tech certificates on your resume?
When you complete your survey please start making account log-ins for:
- Adobe - Learn some fun Creative Cloud tools
- Sololearn - a few things about code - many micro certs for all things development
- Product School - AI micro cert
Then jump right in! Get started learning on any of the above options. Did you choose photoshop? What about learning a little bit about code? How long will it take you to get your first Cert?! (Cert is short for certficate)
