HWC10.11 Day 16 - Digital Literacy & Defining Africa


Objective:  Investigate the ways that individuals can interact through digital technology to identify appropriate behavior for the global collaborative project.   Identify and dispel myths about Africa and the people of Africa.

Task:  We'll spend a bit of time reviewing the map of Africa with the Africa rap song.  Next, we'll examine the status of Africa prior to European encroachment with a DBQ.  

The next portion of class will be spent working through the following stations:
  1. Station #1 - Digital Footprint
  2. Station #2 - Copyright & Creative Commons
  3. Station #3 - Netiquette
After you have completed ALL station activities, go to the Moodle and respond to the digital literacy forum on the Moodle.
